A review is given of our present knowledge of collective spin-isospin excitations in nuclei.
Most of this knowledge comes from intermediate-energy charge-exchange reactions and …

In the last decade, there has been an increasing interest in the analysis of energy level
spectra and wave functions of nuclei, particles, atoms and other quantum many-body …

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 …

We investigate the effects of the spin-isospin channel of the Skyrme energy functional on
predictions for Gamow-Teller distributions and superdeformed rotational bands. We use the …

We present a practical solution to the ''sign problem''in the auxiliary field Monte Carlo
approach to the nuclear shell model. The method is based on extrapolation from a …

The key parameter to discuss the possibility of the pion condensation in nuclear matter, ie,
the so-called Landau-Migdal parameter g′, was extracted by measuring the double …

Electron-capture rates are calculated for the high-density regime of pre-supernova stellar
collapse. The Gamow-Teller contribution arises from thermal unblocking and proceeds …

It is quite likely that the site of the r process is the hot, neutron-rich “bubble” that expands off
a protoneutron star during a core-collapse supernova. The r process would then occur in an …

We perform large-scale shell-model calculations of β-decay properties for neutron-rich
nuclei with 13≤ Z≤ 18 and 22≤ N≤ 34, taking the first-forbidden transitions into account …

Spin-isospin transitions in nuclei away from the valley of stability are essential for the
description of astrophysically relevant weak interaction processes. While they remain mainly …
