Nuclear reactions induced by photons play a vital role for very different aspects of basic
research and applications in physics. They are a key ingredient for the synthesis of nuclei in …

Nowadays, the Gogny force is a referent in the theoretical description of nuclear structure
phenomena. Its phenomenological character manifests in a simple analytical form that …

Valuable theoretical predictions of nuclear dipole excitations in the whole nuclear chart are
of great interest for different applications, including in particular nuclear astrophysics. Here …

Photon strength functions describing the average response of the nucleus to an
electromagnetic probe are key input information in the theoretical modelling of nuclear …

The rapid-neutron capture process (r process) is identified as the producer of about 50% of
elements heavier than iron. This process requires an astrophysical environment with an …

Valuable theoretical predictions of nuclear dipole excitations in the whole chart are of great
interest for different nuclear applications, including, in particular, nuclear astrophysics. Here …

The photoneutron cross sections of Dy 162, 163 have been measured for the first time in an
energy region from the neutron threshold (S n) up to≈ 13 MeV. The (γ, n) reaction was …

Background: The low-energy enhancement observed recently in the deexcitation γ-ray
strength functions, suggested to arise due to the magnetic dipole (M 1) radiation, motivates …

While the ground state configuration is classically determined by the variational principle
minimizing the binding energy of the system, we propose here a different procedure to …

The finite amplitude method (FAM) is a very efficient approach for solving the fully self-
consistent random-phase approximation (RPA) equations. We use FAM to rederive the RPA …
