Nuclear shape coexistence is the phenomenon in which distinct shapes occur within the
same nucleus and at a similar energy. In this work, we provide an overview of the …

The past three decades have witnessed the emergence of exotic structures and dynamics in
weakly bound unstable nuclei located in the rapidly expanding nuclear chart. Examples …

Subjecting a physical system to extreme conditions is one of the means often used to obtain
a better understanding and deeper insight into its organization and structure. In the case of …

A long-standing crucial question with atomic nuclei is whether or not α clustering occurs
there. An α particle (helium-4 nucleus) comprises two protons and two neutrons, and may be …

The nuclear shell model is one of the prime many-body methods to study the structure of
atomic nuclei, but it is hampered by an exponential scaling on the basis size as the number …

Abstract Properties of nuclei in hot stellar environments such as supernovae or neutron star
mergers are largely unexplored. Since it is poorly understood how many protons and …

The new isotope Na 39, the most neutron-rich sodium nucleus observed so far, was
discovered at the RIKEN Nishina Center Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory using the …

We survey the impact of nuclear three-body forces on structure properties of nuclei within the
shell model. It has long been acknowledged, since the seminal works of Zuker and …

To explore the rotational excitation of deformed halo nuclei, the angular momentum
projection (AMP) has been implemented in the deformed relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov …

We performed ab initio valence-space in-medium similarity renormalization group
calculations based on chiral nucleon-nucleon and three-nucleon interactions to study the …
