This contribution reviews the present status on the available constraints to the nuclear
equation of state (EoS) around saturation density from nuclear structure calculations on …

The electric dipole response of atomic nuclei has attracted a lot of attention from
experimentalists and theorists in the last decade. This review gives an overview about the …

Relativistic energy density functionals (EDF) have become a standard tool for nuclear
structure calculations, providing a complete and accurate, global description of nuclear …

This review paper concerns the research devoted to the study of the properties of dipole
excitations in nuclei. The main focus is on questions related to isospin effects in these types …

This review aims at giving a critical description of the theoretical researches conducted on
the low-lying dipole states traditionally denoted as Pygmy Dipole Resonances (PDR). A brief …

The pygmy dipole resonance has been studied in the proton-magic nucleus Sn 124 with the
(α, α′ γ) coincidence method at E α= 136 MeV. The comparison with results of photon …

The rapid-neutron capture process (r process) is identified as the producer of about 50% of
elements heavier than iron. This process requires an astrophysical environment with an …

An overview of relevant results on the study of 1− states focusing on their excitation with
nuclear probes is given. Results obtained for the 90 Zr, 124 Sn, and 208 Pb nuclei using the …

A new class of many-body models, based on covariant density functional theory for excited
states, is presented. It allows a parameter free description of the fragmentation of nuclear …

Large-scale calculations of the E 1 strength are performed within the random phase
approximation (RPA) based on the relativistic point-coupling mean field approach in order to …
