Nuclear giant resonances provide deep insight in understanding the structure of atomic nuclei as well as constraining the nuclear equation of state (EoS). The giant monopole resonance (GMR) and giant dipole resonance (GDR) provide effective constraints on nuclear incompressibility and symmetry energy slope parameter, respectively. The giant quadrupole resonance (GQR) gives useful information...
Astronomical observations indicate that the abundances of heavy elements from barium to lead in metal-poor stars are consistent with the scaled Solar system abundance pattern for the rapid-neutron capture or r-process, where 50% of the heavy elements beyond iron are expected to be produced in stellar explosions such as neutron star mergers. Given that the Sun formed billions of years after...
Systematic studies of nuclear reactions are essential to the development of nuclear physics.
Understanding and predicting the evolution of nuclear structure and the novel phenomena in atomic nuclei has long been a pursuit of scientific curiosity.
Conventional methods such as charged particle probes, $\beta$-decay, Coulombic-excitation, and heavy-ion fusion evaporation reactions have been...
Octupole correlations near $N = Z = 56$ are unique in sense that they occur between particles in the same orbitals for both neutrons and protons. In this region just above $^{100}$Sn, it is expected that enhanced octupole correlations will take place at low and medium spins in the light Te ($Z = 52$), I ($Z = 53$) and Xe ($Z = 54$) nuclei [1]. In this region of the nuclear chart, the Fermi...
