The production of about half of the heavy elements found in nature is assigned to a specific
astrophysical nucleosynthesis process: the rapid neutron-capture process (r process) …

In the past decade, coupled-cluster theory has seen a renaissance in nuclear physics, with
computations of neutron-rich and medium-mass nuclei. The method is efficient for nuclei …

Despite being a complex many-body system, the atomic nucleus exhibits simple structures
for certain 'magic'numbers of protons and neutrons. The calcium chain in particular is both …

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 …

We link the structure of nuclei around Sn 100, the heaviest doubly magic nucleus with equal
neutron and proton numbers (N= Z= 50), to nucleon-nucleon (NN) and three-nucleon (NNN) …

In spite of the high-density and strongly correlated nature of the atomic nucleus,
experimental and theoretical evidence suggests that around particular 'magic'numbers of …

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 …

A small number of naturally occurring, proton-rich nuclides (the p-nuclei) cannot be made in
the s-and r-processes. Their origin is not well understood. Massive stars can produce p …

The change in mean-square nuclear charge radii δ⟨ r 2⟩ along the even-A tin isotopic
chain Sn 108-134 has been investigated by means of collinear laser spectroscopy at …

Doubly magic nuclei have a simple structure and are the cornerstones for entire regions of
the nuclear chart. Theoretical insights into the supposedly doubly magic Ni 78 and its …
