Weak-interaction and nuclear-structure aspects of double beta decay are reviewed. Starting
from effective electroweak lagrangians, decay rates for the two-neutrino and neutrinoless …

In the present study we generalize the self-consistent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) theory
formulated in the coordinate space to the case which incorporates an arbitrary mixing …

The ground states of even-even Z= N nuclei are determined with the isospin generalized
BCS equations and the HFB equation. The calculations permit the simultaneous existence of …

We examine isovector and isoscalar proton-neutron-pairing correlations for the ground state
of even-even Ge isotopes with mass number A= 64–76 within the deformed BCS approach …

We study the neutron-proton pairing in nuclear matter as a function of isospin asymmetry at
finite temperatures and the empirical saturation density using realistic nuclear forces and …

We investigate the BCS treatment of neutron-proton pairing involving time-reversed orbits.
We conclude that an isospin-symmetric Hamiltonian, treated with the help of the generalized …

High-spin band crossings in N= Z nuclei have been suggested to contain information on T=
0 neutron-proton pairing correlations. Several experiments that produced high angular …

We show that the correlations of the quasiparticle random-phase approximation (QRPA)
significantly reduce the nuclear matrix element (NME) of neutrinoless double-β decay by a …

In this contribution, the preformation factors of 606 nuclei are extracted within the framework
of the generalized liquid drop model (GLDM). Through the systematic analysis of the …

Isoscalar Cooper pairing in isospin asymmetric nuclear matter occurs between states
populating two distinct Fermi surfaces, each for neutrons and protons. The transition from a …
