In this work, we study the properties of charm- and bottom-flavored baryons in the approximative quark-diquark modelin which the structure of baryons is considered as the bound states of quark-diquark pairs instead of the usual three equivalent quarks. To this aim, we use the Bethe-Salpeter equation including the Yukawa potential between the constituent quarks of baryons. Performing a fit procedure

This paper is a write-up of the ideas that were presented, developed and discussed at the third International Workshop on QCD Challenges from pp to A–A, which took place in August 2019 in Lund, Sweden (Workshop link: https://indico.lucas.lu.se/event/1214/). The goal of the workshop was to focus on some of the open questions in the field and try to come up with concrete suggestions for how to make progress

The $${}^{5}$$He($${}^{3}$$He,$${}^{4}$$He)$${}^{4}$$He reaction involving the unstable $${}^{5}$$He nucleus is a possible process in primordial nucleosynthesis to convert $${}^{3}$$He into $${}^{4}$$He in a neutron transfer reaction. Since experimental data for the reaction cross section are not available, a theoretical prediction is needed to estimate the relevance of this process in comparison to

With new experimental information on nuclei far from stability being available, a systematic investigation of excitation energies and electromagnetic properties along the $$N=10, 11, 12$$ isotones and $$Z=10, 11, 12$$ isotopes is presented. The experimental data are discussed in the context of the appearance and disappearance of shell closures at $$N=Z=8,14,16,20$$, and compared to an effective-interaction

Using a modified version of Jacques Raynal’s program, DWBA98, we have analyzed cross-section data from a select set of charge exchange (p, n) reactions leading to isobaric analogue states of the target ground states. The Melbourne g-matrix model of the NN interaction has been used to specify both the relevant optical model potentials and the transition interactions. The formulation used defines transition

This article is meant as an encomium of the life-span endeavor of Jacques Raynal to relate nuclear scattering density matrices with numerical methods. The mathematical investigations he made involved intricate hypergeometric coupling algebras and transformations. He was among the first to appreciate the general importance of these studies. His efforts over 60 years are most praiseworthy and, for them

The Trojan Horse Method (THM) lays its foundations on the cluster structure of light nuclei which are usually used as “Trojan horses”. Many of them were successfully employed in the last decades to shed light to numerous astrophysical problems. Cluster structure and dynamics also suggest a series of tests which may be performed in order to strengthen the basis of the method. Among them pole invariance

The properties of the Isovector Giant Dipole Resonance are reviewed as a function of the temperature of the state on which it is built. The experimental methods, based on scintillation detectors efficient for the detection of high energy gamma-rays, are described. Methods for determining the excitation energy and temperature from the measurement of light charged particle energy spectra taking pre-equilibrium

In this review paper we present a detailed account of the extraction and the calculation of the total reaction cross section of strongly bound and weakly bound, stable and unstable, exotic, nuclei. We discuss the optical model and the more general coupled channels model of direct reactions, and how from fits to the data on elastic scattering supplies the elastic element of (partial wave) S-matrix and

The production of light (anti-)nuclei and (anti-)hypernuclei in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions, but also in more elementary collisions as proton–proton and proton–nucleus collisions, became recently a focus of interest. In particular, the fact that these objects are all loosely bound compared to the temperature and energies, e.g. the kinetic energies involved, is often stressed out to be special

We observed the impact of the finite magnetic field on the in-medium mass and decay constant of isospin averaged vector $$D^*(D^{*^+},D^{*^0})$$ and axial-vector $$D_1(D^+_1, D^0_1)$$ mesons. The quark and gluon condensates of the nuclear medium at the finite magnetic field, temperature, isospin asymmetry, and density have been obtained by the meson exchange scalar fields within the chiral SU(3) model

The proposal for the development of a nuclear optical clock has triggered a multitude of experimental and theoretical studies. In particular the prediction of an unprecedented systematic frequency uncertainty of about $$10^{-19}$$ has rendered a nuclear clock an interesting tool for many applications, potentially even for a re-definition of the second. The focus of the corresponding research is a nuclear

Monte Carlo simulations are used to test the Pulse Shape Comparison Scanning (PSCS) technique implemented at the IPHC scanning table. The technique allows the full volume characterization of a given position sensitive detector resulting in the construction of the corresponding database of pulses. The tests, performed on a high purity germanium (HPGe) detector unit of the AGATA array, aim to quantify

We investigate the collision energy dependence of deuteron and antideuteron emission in the RHIC-BES low- to mid-energy range $$\sqrt{s_{NN}}$$ = 4.6–200 GeV where the formation rate of antinuclei compared to nuclei is strongly suppressed. In the coalescence picture, this can be understood as bulk emission for nuclei in contrast to surface emission for antinuclei. By comparison with experimental data

The ongoing progress in (nuclear) many-body theory is accompanied by an ever-rising increase in complexity of the underlying formalisms used to solve the stationary Schrödinger equation. The associated working equations at play in state-of-the-art ab initio nuclear many-body methods can be analytically reduced with respect to angular-momentum, i.e. SU(2), quantum numbers whenever they are effectively

Proton radioactivity is an important and common process of the natural radioactivity of proton-rich nuclei. In our previous work (Cheng et al. in Nucl Rhys A 997: 121717, 2020), we systematically studied the proton radioactivity half-lives of $$53\le Z \le 83$$ nuclei within the two-potential approach with Skyrme–Hartree–Fock. The calculations can well reproduce the experimental data of spherical nuclei
