Single-nucleon knockout reactions at intermediate energies with $^9$Be and $^{12}$C targets have proven of great value to extract spectroscopic information from exotic atomic nuclei. In the early 2000s, a trend was noticed [1] in the so-called ``quenching'' factors (the ratio between experimental and theoretical cross sections) for these reactions, in which the knockout of the deficient...
Systematic studies of nuclei along isotopic chains have revealed unexpected trends that challenge our understanding of nuclear structure. For two decades, nuclear physicists have grappled with the asymmetry dependence of the ratio R between the spectroscopic factors extracted experiments and that predicted by the nuclear shell model. Surprisingly, the strong asymmetry dependence of these...
The dynamics of quantum few- and many-body systems is often modeled with local interaction models, mainly due to simplicity, though more microscopic or fundamental approaches yield nonlocal interactions. For few-cluster nuclear reactions the interactions usually are given in the local form of real binding and complex optical potentials. We made a two-fold extension of that standard dynamics by...
