We investigate the ground state structure of $^8$B within the Skyrme Hartree-Fock framework where spin-orbit part of the effective interaction is adjusted to reproduce the one-proton separation energy of this nucleus. Using same set of force parameters, binding energies and root mean square radii of other light p-shell unstable nuclei, $^8$Li, $^7$B,$^7$Be, and $^9$C, have been calculated where a good agreement with corresponding experimental data is obtained. The overlap integral of $^8$B and $^7$Be wave functions has been used to determine the root mean square radius of the single proton in a particular orbit and also the astrophysical S factor ($S_{17}$) for the $^{7}$Be($p, gamma)^{8}$B radiative capture reaction. It is found that the asymptotic region (distances beyond 4 fm) of the p-shell single proton wave function contributes more than half to the calculated value (4.93 fm) of the corresponding single particle root mean square radius. We determine a $S_{17}$ 21.1 eV.b which is in good agreement with the recommended value for near zero energy $S_{17}$ of $19.0^{+4.0}_{-1.0}$ eV.b.

The properties of $Xi^-$ hypernuclei are studied systematically using a two-dimensional Skyrme-Hartree-Fock approach combined with three different $Xi N$ Skyrme forces fitted to reproduce the existing data. We explore the impurity effect of a single $Xi^-$ hyperon on the radii, deformations, and density distributions of the nuclear core and point out qualitative differences between the different forces. We find that the $Xi^-$ removal energy of $^{hskip0.10em13}_{Xi p}$B [$^{12}$C(g.s.)+ $Xi^-$(1p)] calculated by the SLX3 force is 0.7 MeV, which is in good agreement with a possible value of $0.82pm0.17;$MeV from the KEK E176 experiment. The theoretical prediction for this weakly bound state depends strongly on the deformation of the nuclear core, which is analyzed in detail.
Angular distribution measurements of $^2$H($^7$Be,$^7$Be)$^2$H and $^2$H($^7$Be,$^8$B)$n$ reactions at $E_{c.m.}sim$~4.5 MeV were performed to extract the astrophysical $S_{17}(0)$ factor using the asymptotic normalization coefficient (ANC) method. For this purpose a pure, low emittance $^7$Be beam was separated from the primary $^7$Li beam by a recoil mass spectrometer operated in a novel mode. A beam stopper at 0$^{circ}$ allowed the use of a higher $^7$Be beam intensity. Measurement of the elastic scattering in the entrance channel using kinematic coincidence, facilitated the determination of the optical model parameters needed for the analysis of the transfer data. The present measurement significantly reduces errors in the extracted $^7$Be(p,$gamma$) cross section using the ANC method. We get $S_{17}$~(0)~=~20.7~$pm$~2.4 eV~b.
We investigate the role of odd-odd (with respect to time inversion) couplings in the Skyrme force on collisions of light nuclei, employing a fully three-dimensional numerical treatment without any symmetry restrictions and with modern Skyrme functionals. We demonstrate the necessity of these couplings to suppress spurious spin excitations owing to the spin-orbit force in free translational motion of a nucleus but show that in a collision situation there is a strong spin excitation even in spin-saturated systems which persists in the departing fragments. The energy loss is considerably increased by the odd-odd terms.
To study the exotic odd nuclear systems, the self-consistent continuum Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory formulated with Greens function technique is extended to include blocking effects with the equal filling approximation. Detailed formula are presented.To perform the integrals of the Greens function properly, the contour paths $C_{rm b}^{-}$ and $C_{rm b}^{+}$ introduced for the blocking effects should include the blocked quasi-particle state but can not intrude into the continuum area. By comparing with the box-discretized calculations, the great advantages of the Greens function method in describing the extended density distributions, resonant states, and the couplings with the continuum in exotic nuclei are shown. Finally, taking the neutron-rich odd nucleus $^{159}$Sn as an example, the halo structure is investigated by blocking the quasi-particle state $1p_{1/2}$. It is found that it is mainly the weakly bound states near the Fermi surface that contribute a lot for the extended density distributions at large coordinate space.
Fission-related phenomena of heavy $Lambda$ hypernuclei are discussed with the constraint Skyrme-Hartree-Fock+BCS (SHF+BCS) method, in which a similar Skyrme-type interaction is employed also for the interaction between a $Lambda$ particle and a nucleon. Assuming that the $Lambda$ particle adiabatically follows the fission motion, we discuss the fission barrier height of $^{239}_{Lambda}$U. We find that the fission barrier height increases slightly when the $Lambda$ particle occupies the lowest level. In this case, the $Lambda$ particle is always attached to the heavier fission fragment. This indicates that one may produce heavy neutron-rich $Lambda$ hypernuclei through fission, whose weak decay is helpful for the nuclear transmutation of long-lived fission products. We also discuss cases where the $Lambda$ particle occupies a higher single-particle level.
