The discovery of neutrinoless β β decay could soon be within reach. This hypothetical
ultrarare nuclear decay offers a privileged portal to physics beyond the standard model of …

Nowadays, the Gogny force is a referent in the theoretical description of nuclear structure
phenomena. Its phenomenological character manifests in a simple analytical form that …

Perturbative and non-perturbative expansion methods already constitute a tool of choice to
perform ab initio calculations over a significant part of the nuclear chart. In this context, the …

The interpretation of the emergent collective behavior of atomic nuclei in terms of deformed
intrinsic shapes is at the heart of our understanding of the rich phenomenology of their …

In the hydrodynamic framework of heavy-ion collisions, elliptic flow v 2 is sensitive to the
quadrupole deformation β of the colliding ions. This enables one to test whether the …

In spite of missing dynamical correlations, the projected generator coordinate method
(PGCM) was recently shown to be a suitable method to tackle the low-lying spectroscopy of …

The mean-field approximation based on effective interactions or density functionals plays a
pivotal role in the description of finite quantum many-body systems that are too large to be …

Differences in mean-square nuclear charge radii of Cd 100–130 are extracted from high-
resolution collinear laser spectroscopy of the 5 s S 2 1/2→ 5 p P 2 3/2 transition of the ion …

Having a detailed theoretical knowledge of the low-energy structure of the heavy odd-mass
nucleus 197 Au is of prime interest as the structure of this isotope represents an important …

Background: The mass region with A≈ 100 and Z≈ 40 is known to experience a sudden
onset of deformation. The presence of the subshell closure Z= 40 makes it feasible to create …
