We survey the impact of nuclear three-body forces on structure properties of nuclei within the
shell model. It has long been acknowledged, since the seminal works of Zuker and …

Isospin-symmetry breaking is responsible for the energy difference of excited states in mirror
nuclei. It also influences the coefficient of the isobaric multiplet mass equation. In the present …

Knockout reactions with heavy ion targets in inverse kinematics, as well as “quasifree”(p, 2p)
and (p, pn) reactions are useful tools for nuclear spectroscopy. We report calculations on ab …

The recent precise experimental determination of the monopole transition form factor from
the ground state of He 4 to its 0 2+ resonance via electron scattering has reinvigorated …

Spectroscopic factors involving well bound nucleons in light nuclei are calculated with
standard shell model, no-core shell model and Gamow shell model. Continuum coupling is …

The Gamow shell model (GSM) is a powerful method for the description of the exotic
properties of drip line nuclei. Internucleon correlations are included via a configuration …

We provide an investigation of the spectroscopic factor of resonance states in A= 5–8 nuclei,
utilizing the Gamow shell model (GSM). Within the GSM, the configuration mixing is taken …

The F 16 nucleus is situated at the proton drip line and is unbound by proton emission by
only about 500 keV. Continuum coupling is then prominent in this nucleus. Added to that, its …

The recently discovered, extremely proton-rich nuclide 18 Mg exhibits ground-state decay
via two sequential two-proton (2p) emissions through the intermediate nucleus, 16 Ne. This …
