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 …

Determining the Equation of State (EOS) of dense neutron-rich nuclear matter is a shared
goal of both nuclear physics and astrophysics. Except possible phase transitions, the density …

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 …

We review recent progress and motivate the need for further developments in nuclear optical
potentials that are widely used in the theoretical analysis of nucleon elastic scattering and …

There is now a large and increasing body of experimental data and theoretical analyses for
reactions that remove a single nucleon from an intermediate-energy beam of neutron-or …

Abstract The National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State
University (MSU) is a scientific user facility that offers beams of rare isotopes at a wide range …

Quasifree one-proton knockout reactions have been employed in inverse kinematics for a
systematic study of the structure of stable and exotic oxygen isotopes at the R 3 B/LAND …

A brief overview of various approaches to the optical-model description of nuclei is
presented. A survey of some of the formal aspects is given which links the Feshbach …

Background: Three-nucleon forces (3NFs) have nontrivial implications on the evolution of
correlations at extreme proton-neutron asymmetries. Recent ab initio calculations show that …
