In this review article we discuss the present status of direct nuclear reactions and the nuclear
structure aspects one can study with them. We discuss the spectroscopic information we can …

Various kinds of isovector nucleon effective masses are used in the literature to characterize
the momentum/energy dependence of the nucleon symmetry potential or self-energy due to …

The protons and neutrons in a nucleus can form strongly correlated nucleon pairs.
Scattering experiments, in which a proton is knocked out of the nucleus with high …

We calculate the properties of isospin-asymmetric nuclear matter based on chiral nucleon-
nucleon (NN) and three-nucleon (3N) interactions. To this end, we develop an improved …

We perform a systematic analysis of the density dependence of nuclear symmetry energy
within the microscopic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (BHF) approach using the realistic Argonne …

Recent measurements of high-momentum correlated neutron-proton pairs at JLab suggest
that the dense nucleonic component of the compact stars contains a fraction of high …

Context. A precise understanding of the equation of state (EOS) of dense and hot matter is
key to modeling relativistic astrophysical environments, including core-collapse supernovae …

The nuclear symmetry energy is a key quantity in nuclear (astro) physics. It describes the
isospin dependence of the nuclear equation of state, which is commonly assumed to be …

Novel processes probing the decay of nucleus after removal of a nucleon with momentum
larger than Fermi momentum by hard probes finally proved unambiguously the evidence for …

We investigate asymmetric nuclear matter with two-and three-nucleon interactions based on
chiral effective field theory, where three-body forces are fit only to light nuclei. Focusing on …
