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 …

This contribution reviews the present status on the available constraints to the nuclear
equation of state (EoS) around saturation density from nuclear structure calculations on …

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 …

This is an exciting time for the study of r-process nucleosynthesis. Recently, a neutron star
merger GW170817 was observed in extraordinary detail with gravitational waves and …

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 …

Nuclear level densities play a key role in many nuclear applications. To go beyond the usual
particle-independent approximation, a conceptually new approach based on the boson …

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 …
