The nuclear rainbow, observed in the elastic α-nucleus and light heavy-ion (HI) scattering at medium energies, is proven to be due to the refraction of the incident wave by the attractive nucleus-nucleus optical potential. The rainbow pattern is usually associated with a broad oscillation of the Airy minima in elastic scattering cross section, as a result of an interference of the refracted...
We study multistrange Ca, Sn and Pb hypernuclei with $\Lambda\Lambda$ pairing correlations by using the multidimensionally-constraint relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov (MDC-RHB) model. The axial deformation is allowed and the $\Lambda\Lambda\omega$-tensor coupling is included to reproduce the small spin-orbit splittings for $\Lambda$ hyperon. The separable pairing force of finite-range form is...
By involving the constraints of the slope of nuclear symmetry energy L into the question of determination of the high-density symmetry energy, one needs to probe the curvature of nuclear symmetry energy $K_{sym}$. Based on the Isospin-dependent Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck (IBUU) transport model, effects of the curvature of nuclear symmetry energy on the squeezed-out nucleons are demonstrated...

The ($p,n$) reaction at intermediate energies (about 200MeV) is a very effective tool to investigate spin-isospin excitations in nuclei. Gamow-Teller (GT) states is one of the most basic spin-isospin excitations. GT states are changed spin and isospin of the nuclei by one unit without being changed the orbital angular momentum from the initial quantum state. Fermi states are also one of the...
Nuclear mass plays an essential role in the understanding of the r-process which is responsible for the synthesis of about one-half of elements heavier than iron up to bismuth and all of thorium and uranium. The nuclei around the doubly magic numbers N=50, N=82 and N=126 are believed to be waiting points were matter accumulate and therefore form the major peaks in the r-process abundance....

We discuss the electron screening effects on the nuclear burning stages of stars. There is a dense electron cloud in the environment of fully ionized stellar plasma. The nucleus, which has a positive charge, streams in the electron cloud. This nucleus seems to have smaller charge than the original one. This phenomenon is called the electron screening effect. In this situation, the reaction...
Collective reaction paths for fusion reactions are microscopically determined on the basis of the adiabatic self-consistent collective coordinate (ASCC) method. This path is maximally decoupled from other intrinsic degrees of freedom. The reaction paths turn out to deviate from those obtained with standard mean-field calculations with constraints on quadrupole and octupole moments. The...

The isovector part of the ERMF model employed in the present study includes the coupling of nucleons to the δ and ρ mesons and the cross-coupling...
The Density functional theory (DFT) is a microscopic method to get the ground-state energy of quantum many-body systems.
Due to the low numerical cost, it is widely applicable to nuclear, atomic and molecule physics.
In the DFT, the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem ensures that energy can be expressed as a functional of density, so-called “energy density functional (EDF)” and the EDF is uniquely...
Recent cluster-model calculation predict that $\alpha$ condensed states emerge in self-conjugate $N=4n$ nuclei. In the $\alpha$ condensed states, all of the $\alpha$ clusters are condensed in the lowest orbit, and their matter density is as low as 1/4--1/5 of normal nuclear states. Therefore, observation of the $\alpha$ condensed states is very important for clarifying physical properties of...

Laser wakefield acceleration is a novel concept for particle acceleration which can provide for a significant reduction of the accelerator length compared to conventional accelerators. The main issue in this field is a lack of control over the injection of electrons into the wakefield, resulting in a large spread in energy of the accelerated electron bunches. For producing this particular...

Francium (Fr) is expected to be a powerful probe for measuring the electron electric dipole moment (eEDM) in high precision, due to its large EDM enhancement factor. We have developed a surface ionizer to produce a high-intensity Fr ion beam at RIKEN. Due to spatial constraints of the experimental area, the yielded ions must be extracted from the ion source at an angle of 45 degrees with...

There are two types of atomic nuclei: "stable nuclei" and "unstable nuclei". The unstable nuclei make up about 97\% of all nuclides, including those expected to theoretically exist. It has become clear that many of their characteristics such as shape and structure cannot be explained by the standard nuclear structure models. So far, the internal structure of the atomic nuclei have been...
$\alpha$ clustering is a well-known phenomenon in light nuclei where two neutrons and two protons strongly correlate to constitute an $\alpha$ particle as a building block of atomic nuclei. A linear alignment of the $\alpha$ clusters, referred to as linear-chain cluster state (LCCS), has been of great interest since 1950s but until now there is no clear experimental evidence demonstrating the...
