These last years, significant progresses have been made in the investigation on giant resonances physics related to unstable nuclei. This predictive sector of nuclear physics benefits from several new theoretical approaches. For instance the role of deformation and neutron excess on giant resonances and their low-energy component are better understood. New modes of excitations have also been...

The significance of low-energy multipole excitations and pygmy resonances for the nucleosynthesis is investigated. For this purpose, a microscopic theoretical approach based on self-consistent density functional theory and QRPA formalism extended with multi-phonon degrees of freedom, is implemented in studies of radiative neutron and proton capture processes in medium and heavy nuclei of...
