The dynamics of induced fission is described using a consistent microscopic framework that combines the time-dependent generator coordinate method (TDGCM) and time-dependent nuclear density functional theory (TDDFT). While the former presents a fully quantum mechanical approach that describes the entire fission process as an adiabatic evolution of collective degrees of freedom, the latter...
The physics of neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay has important implications on particle physics, cosmology and fundamental physics. It is the most promising process to access the effective neutrino mass. To determine quantitative information from the possible measurement of the 0νββ decay half-lives, the knowledge of the Nuclear Matrix Elements (NME) involved in the transition is...
The motivations for studying nuclei far from the valley of stability are manifold: from the study of the role played by the different parts of the nuclear force in the evolution of shell gaps, to the appearance of halo nuclei and clusters in a variety of isotopic chains linked to the proximity of the continuum, including the reordering of the neutron/proton shells as we move toward the...
The significant alteration in the trend of the nuclear charge radius within certain isotopic families, when plotted against the mass number A, is called the kink effect (KE). The most typical example of the KE is found in the charge radii of Pb isotopes. This kink is reasonably well reproduced by the nuclear relativistic mean-field [1-4] and relativistic Hartree-Fock approximations [5], while...
Reaction dynamics induced by proton drip-line nuclei at energies around the Coulomb barrier is one of the most popular topics in nuclear physics. In order to further investigate the reaction mechanisms of proton drip-line nuclei, we performed the complete-kinematics measurements of $^8$B+$^{120}$Sn and $^{17}$F+$^{58}$Ni at CRIB, University of Tokyo. Two detector arrays, i.e., the silicon...
