The last decade has witnessed both quantitative and qualitative progress in shell-model
studies, which have resulted in remarkable gains in our understanding of the structure of the …

Advances in our understanding and the modeling of stellar core-collapse and supernova
explosions over the past 15 years are reviewed, concentrating on the evolution of …

The dominant decay mode of atomic nuclei is beta decay (β-decay), a process that changes
a neutron into a proton (and vice versa). This decay offers a window to physics beyond the …

Based on large-scale shell-model calculations we have determined the electron capture,
positron capture and beta-decay rates for more than 100 nuclei in the mass range A= 45–65 …

The effective interaction GXPF1 for shell-model calculations in the full pf shell is tested in
detail from various viewpoints such as binding energies, electromagnetic moments and …

This review treats several pairing-related phenomena in nuclear systems, ranging from
superfluidity in neutron stars to the gradual breaking of pairs in finite nuclei. It focuses on the …

We review quantum Monte Carlo methods for dealing with large shell model problems.
These methods reduce the imaginary-time many-body evolution operator to a coherent …

Neutrinos are known to play important roles in many astrophysical scenarios from the early
period of the big bang to current stellar evolution being a unique messenger of the fusion …

The development, present status and future perspectives of the Monte Carlo shell model are
discussed. The development and limitation of the conventional shell model calculations are …

The role of neutron–proton pairing correlations on the structure of nuclei along the N= Z line
is reviewed. Particular emphasis is placed on the competition between isovector (T= 1) and …
