We review the status and prospects of heavy-ion double charge exchange (HI-DCE)
reactions. Their important role for nuclear reaction, nuclear structure and double beta-decay …

Motivated by limitations of the Bloch–Horowitz–Brandow perturbative approach to nuclear
structure we have developed the non-perturbative ab initio no core shell model (NCSM) …

Subjecting a physical system to extreme conditions is one of the means often used to obtain
a better understanding and deeper insight into its organization and structure. In the case of …

We present an overview of low-momentum two-nucleon and many-body interactions and
their use in calculations of nuclei and infinite matter. The softening of phenomenological and …

We present an overview of recent results and developments of the no-core shell model
(NCSM), an ab initio approach to the nuclear many-body problem for light nuclei. In this …

Atomic nuclei are composed of a certain number of protons Z and neutrons N. A natural
question is how large Z and N can be. The study of superheavy elements explores the large …

We approach the calculation of the nuclear matrix element of the neutrinoless double-β
decay process, considering the light-neutrino-exchange channel, by way of the realistic shell …

The hyperspherical harmonic (HH) method has been widely applied in recent times to the
study of the bound states, using the Rayleigh–Ritz variational principle, and of low-energy …

We survey the impact of nuclear three-body forces on structure properties of nuclei within the
shell model. It has long been acknowledged, since the seminal works of Zuker and …

A review is presented of the development and current status of nuclear shell-model
calculations, in which the two-body effective interaction between valence nucleons is …
