Nuclear shell model is a powerful approach to investigate nuclear structure microscopically. However, the computational cost of shell-model calculations becomes huge in medium-heavy nuclei. I briefly review the theoretical framework and the code deve...

We obtain an analytic approximation of the bound states solution of the Schrödinger equation on the semi-infinite real line for two potential models with a rich structure as shown by their spectral phase diagrams. These potentials do not belong...

Series solutions are used to explore the mode conversion of slow, Alfvén and fast magnetohydrodynamic waves injected at the base of a two-isothermal-layer stratified atmosphere with a uniform magnetic field, crudely representing the solar chro...

Probability distributions for the center of gravity are fundamental tools for track fitting. The center of gravity is a widespread algorithm for position reconstruction in tracker detectors for particle physics. Its standard use is always accompanied...

In this paper, we present an overview of recent developments in the Feynman sum over paths approach for teaching introductory quantum mechanics to high school students and university undergraduates. A turning point in recent research is identified in...

A review of recent advances in the study of the energy splitting between excited isobaric analogue states is presented. Some of the experimental developments, and new approaches, associated with spectroscopy of the most proton-rich members of isobari...

We review the main scientific pictures of the universe developed from ancient times to Albert Einstein and underline that all of them treated the universe as a stationary system with unchanged physical properties. In contrast to this, 100 years ago A...

Over the last few decades, several experiments have used atomic nuclei as unique laboratories to probe the internal structure of the strongly interacting particles, namely hadrons. Indeed, the nucleus could be used as a revealing medium of the time e...

When gravity is quantum, the point structure of space-time should be replaced by a non-commutative geometry. This is true even for quantum gravity in the infra-red. Using the octonions as space-time coordinates, we construct pre-spacetime, pre-quantu...

This is a fitting memory for our late friend and colleague Aldo Covello. For many years, he was our host in the series of Spring Seminars which he organized. In these conferences, the shell model was a central subject which was taken very seriously....
