This review paper concerns the research devoted to the study of the properties of dipole
excitations in nuclei. The main focus is on questions related to isospin effects in these types …

The compression-mode giant resonances, namely the isoscalar giant monopole and
isoscalar giant dipole modes, are examples of collective nuclear motion. Their main interest …

The information on the symmetry energy and its density dependence is deduced by
comparing the available data on the electric dipole polarizability α D of Ni 68, Sn 120, and …

This review aims at giving a critical description of the theoretical researches conducted on
the low-lying dipole states traditionally denoted as Pygmy Dipole Resonances (PDR). A brief …

We study the electric dipole polarizability α D in 208 Pb based on the predictions of a large
and representative set of relativistic and nonrelativistic nuclear mean-field models. We adopt …

Recent improvements in the experimental determination of properties of the isovector giant
quadrupole resonance (IVGQR), as demonstrated in the A= 208 mass region, may be …

Much effort is devoted to measuring the nuclear symmetry energy through neutron star (NS)
and nuclear observables. Since matter in the NS core may be nonhadronic, observables like …

It is currently a big challenge to accurately determine the symmetry energy E sym (ρ) and the
pure neutron matter equation of state E PNM (ρ) even their values around saturation density …

Giant resonances (GRs) are a striking manifestation of collective motions in mesoscopic
systems such as atomic nuclei. Until recently, theoretical investigations have essentially …

The importance of the tensor force for nuclear structure has been recognized long ago.
Recently, the interest for this topic has been revived by the study of the evolution of nuclear …
