We exploit a model describing the breakup of weakly bound nuclei that can be used as a laboratory for testing different prescriptions that have been advanced in the literature to take into account the nearby presence of continuum states. In the model, we follow the evolution of a single-particle wave function in one dimension, initially bound...

We exploit a model describing the break-up of weakly-bound nuclei that can be used as a laboratory for testing different prescriptions that have been advanced in the literature to take into account the near-by presence of continuum states. In the model we follow the evolution of a single particle wave function in one dimension, initially bound...

Recent progress in experimental techniques have made possible accurate measurements of fusion cross sections far below the Coulomb barrier, revealing an unexpected behavior of these quantities as a function of the bombarding energy. Besides providing a plausible cause for the observed energy dependence we profit from the nature of...

We investigate alternatives to the standard formalism used for the study of relativistic Coulomb excitation of the giant dipole resonance in nuclei. The idea is to obtain reasonable results for the probabilities of excitation and cross sections to the one-phonon and two-phonon levels avoiding the substantial complexity of the treatments...

The implementation of a number-conserving formalism for pair-addition and pair-removal modes has impaired the possibility of developing an intuitive and self-consistent picture for collective pairing modes. In this paper, we show how a relaxation of this constraint leads to a unified model with true predictive powe

The conclusions extracted from a recent study of the excitation of giant dipole resonances in nuclei at relativistic bombarding energies open the way for a further simplification of the problem. It consists in the elimination of the relativistic scalar and vector electromagnetic potentials and the familiar numerical difficulties associated with...
