The atomic nucleus is a quantum many-body system whose constituent nucleons (protons
and neutrons) are subject to complex nucleon-nucleon interactions that include spin-and …

Shape coexistence in nuclei appears to be unique in the realm of finite many-body quantum
systems. It differs from the various geometrical arrangements that sometimes occur in a …

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 …

The nuclear shell model has perhaps been the most important conceptual and
computational paradigm for the understanding of the structure of atomic nuclei. While the …

The last decade has witnessed both quantitative and qualitative progress in shell-model
studies, which have resulted in remarkable gains in our understanding of the structure of the …

A review of perturbative many-body descriptions of several nuclear systems is presented in
this report. Examples of systems considered are symmetric and asymmetric nuclear matter …

We present a new effective interaction for shell-model calculations in the model space
consisting of the single-particle orbits 1 p 3/2, 0 f 5/2, 1 p 1/2, and 0 g 9/2. Starting with a …

Based on large-scale shell-model calculations we have determined the electron capture,
positron capture and beta-decay rates for more than 100 nuclei in the mass range A= 45–65 …

Novel simple properties of the monopole component of effective nucleon-nucleon
interactions are presented, leading to the so-called monopole-based universal interaction …

The magic numbers in exotic nuclei are discussed, and their novel origin is shown to be the
spin-isospin dependent part of the nucleon-nucleon interaction in nuclei. The importance …
