One and two proton removal from neutron-rich medium-mass nuclei are commonly used to populate different final states in a nucleus of interest. (p,2p) and (p,3p) knockout reactions have been investigated in inverse kinematics within the first two SEASTAR campaigns that took place at RIBF in RIKEN, Japan [1]. These studies have been extended to the third SEASTAR campaign where medium-mass...

Constructing effective interactions (`optical potentials’) between a proton or neutron and a nucleus for computing elastic scattering has a long tradition. A renewed interest in considering this challenging task stems from the possibility of combining today’s ab inito structure work with elastic scattering from light up to medium-heavy nuclei using the framework of the spectator expansion of...

The SCRIT (Self-Confining RI Ion Target) electron scattering facility [1] was constructed at RIKEN in Japan to enable electron scattering from short-lived unstable nuclei. Electron scattering is a powerful tool for exploring the structure of atomic nuclei because of the well-understood mechanism of electromagnetic interaction. However, its application to short-lived unstable nuclei has been...

The equation of state of nuclear matter(EOS), which describes the macroscopic properties of nuclei, is essential not only to describe the structure and collisions of nuclei but also to understand the astrophysical problems, such as the mechanism of supernova explosions and the structure of neutron stars. Since nuclear matter is composed of two Fermi particles, protons and neutrons, the...

Deviations from the typical liquid-drop-like saturated density of the nucleus are a focal point in the exploration of nuclear structure. Phenomena of nucleon localization, such as clustering or bubble structures, provide a distinctive perspective on the macroscopic consequences of nuclear interaction. Experimental evidence of a depletion of the proton distribution in the core region of the...
