The atomic nucleus is a quantum many-body system whose constituent nucleons (protons
and neutrons) are subject to complex nucleon-nucleon interactions that include spin-and …

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 …

In the past decade, coupled-cluster theory has seen a renaissance in nuclear physics, with
computations of neutron-rich and medium-mass nuclei. The method is efficient for nuclei …

The authors review the present status of self-consistent mean-field (SCMF) models for
describing nuclear structure and low-energy dynamics. These models are presented as …

Recent applications of relativistic mean field theory for finite nuclei are reviewed. We discuss
the description of ground states of nuclei and their properties like nuclear radii as well as …

The main purpose of the present manuscript is to review the structural evolution along the
isotonic and isotopic chains around the “traditional” magic numbers 8, 20, 28, 50, 82 and …

The last decades brought impressive progress in synthesizing and studying properties of
nuclides located very far from the beta stability line. Among the most fundamental properties …

Recent experimental data and progress in nuclear structure modeling have led to improved
descriptions of astrophysically important weak-interaction processes. This review discusses …

A new set of Skyrme parameters is obtained from a fit to the binding energies, rms charge
radii, and single-particle energies of both normal and exotic spherical nuclei. Nuclear matter …

This article provides an overview of the basic principles of the physics of quantum halo
systems, defined as bound states of clusters of particles with a radius extending well into …
