We review the topic of muon capture in nuclei and show that significant nuclear physics is
being learnt from recent experiments. The focus of many earlier experiments had been the …

One of the primary goals of nuclear physics is providing a complete description of the
structure of atomic nuclei. While mean-field calculations provide detailed information on the …

We show that, within the quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA) and the
renormalized QRPA (RQRPA) based on the Bonn-CD nucleon-nucleon interaction, the …

We present a unitary correlation operator that explicitly induces into shell model type many-
body states short ranged two-body correlations caused by the strong repulsive core and the …

Short-range correlations between nucleon pairs in different spin-isospin channels are
investigated for light nuclei using the Argonne v 8′ interaction. At distances below 1 fm a …

One always looks for a simplified technique and desirable formalism, to solve the
Hamiltonian, and to find the wave function, energy, etc, of a many-body system. The lowest …

Background: Realistic nucleon-nucleon interactions induce short-range correlations in
nuclei. To solve the many-body problem unitary transformations like the similarity …

Ground-state properties of 16 O and 40 Ca are calculated with a low-momentum nucleon-
nucleon potential V low− k, derived from the chiral next-to-next-to-next-to-leading-order …

Several explicit formulas for the kinetic energy of a many-electron system as a functional of
the k-electron density are derived, with emphasis on the electron pair density. The emphasis …

The application of the correlated basis function theory and of the Fermi hypernetted chain
technique, to the description of the ground state of medium–heavy nuclei is reviewed. We …
