Photon strength, $f(E_{gamma})$, measured in photonuclear reactions, is the product of the average level density per MeV, $rho(E_x)$, and the average reduced level width, $Gamma_{gamma}/E_{gamma}^3$ for levels populated primarily by E1 transitions at an excitation energy $E_x=E_{gamma}$. It can be calculated with the Brink-Axel (BA) formulation modified to include contributions from the Giant Dipole Resonance (GDR) and higher lying resonances. Level densities and reduced widths have been calculated for 17 nuclei with atomic numbers between Z=14-92. Level densities below the GDR energy were calculated with the CT-JPI model and combined with the BA photon strength to determine the associated reduced widths. The reduced widths varied exponentially with level energy and could be extrapolated up to higher energies. The extrapolated widths were then combined with the BA photon strength to determine the level densities at higher energies. The level densities are found to increase exponentially at low energies, peak near the GDR energy due to the appearance of new states at the $2hbaromega$ shell closure, and continue to increase less rapidly up to at least 30 MeV. The average level densities have been compared with the Fermi Gas Level Density (FGLD), Back-Shifted Fermi Gas (BSFG), and Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) models. Good agreement is found with the nearly identical FGLD and BDFG models, while the HFB models gives substantially lower level densities. A universal set of FGLD model parameters were determined as a function of mass and temperature that are applicable to all nuclei.

Proton-${}^3$H elastic scattering and charge-exchange reaction ${}^3$H$(p,n){}^3$He in the energy regime above four-nucleon breakup threshold are described in the momentum-space transition operator framework. Fully converged results are obtained usin g realistic two-nucleon potentials and two-proton Coulomb force as dynamic input. Differential cross section, proton analyzing power, outgoing neutron polarization, and proton-to-neutron polarization transfer coefficients are calculated between 6 and 30 MeV proton beam energy. Good agreement with the experimental data is found for the differential cross section both in elastic and charge-exchange reactions; the latter shows a complicated energy and angular dependence. The most sizable discrepancies between predictions and data are found for the proton analyzing power and outgoing neutron polarization in the charge-exchange reaction, while the respective proton-to-neutron polarization transfer coefficients are well described by the calculations.
Pairing correlations have a strong influence on nuclear level densities. Empirical descriptions and theoretical models have been developed to take these effects into account. The present article discusses cases, where descriptions of nuclear level de nsities are inconsistent or in conflict with the present understanding of nuclear properties. Phenomenological approaches consider a back-shift parameter. However, the absolute magnitude of the back-shift, which actually corresponds to the pairing condensation energy, is generally not compatible with the observation that stable pairing correlations are present in essentially all nuclei. It is also shown that in the BCS model pairing condensation energies and critical pairing energies are inconsistent for light nuclei. A modification to the composite Gilbert-Cameron level-density description is proposed, and the use of more realistic pairing theories is suggested.
The possible existence of a ($ sbar s$) S = 0 meson at M $approx$ 762 MeV is discussed through a critical analysis of the existing data. Different experimental results are considered and show the possibility that the presence of such meson is not exc luded by the data, but may be hidden by more excited mesons at nearby masses.
We present a new global optical potential (GOP) for nucleus-nucleus systems, including neutron-rich and proton-rich isotopes, in the energy range of $50 sim 400$ MeV/u. The GOP is derived from the microscopic folding model with the complex $G$-matrix interaction CEG07 and the global density presented by S{~ a}o Paulo group. The folding model well accounts for realistic complex optical potentials of nucleus-nucleus systems and reproduces the existing elastic scattering data for stable heavy-ion projectiles at incident energies above 50 MeV/u. We then calculate the folding-model potentials (FMPs) for projectiles of even-even isotopes, $^{8-22}$C, $^{12-24}$O, $^{16-38}$Ne, $^{20-40}$Mg, $^{22-48}$Si, $^{26-52}$S, $^{30-62}$Ar, and $^{34-70}$Ca, scattered by stable target nuclei of $^{12}$C, $^{16}$O, $^{28}$Si, $^{40}$Ca $^{58}$Ni, $^{90}$Zr, $^{120}$Sn, and $^{208}$Pb at the incident energy of 50, 60, 70, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200, 250, 300, 350, and 400 MeV/u. The calculated FMP is represented, with a sufficient accuracy, by a linear combination of 10-range Gaussian functions. The expansion coefficients depend on the incident energy, the projectile and target mass numbers and the projectile atomic number, while the range parameters are taken to depend only on the projectile and target mass numbers. The adequate mass region of the present GOP by the global density is inspected in comparison with FMP by realistic density. The full set of the range parameters and the coefficients for all the projectile-target combinations at each incident energy are provided on a permanent open-access website together with a Fortran program for calculating the microscopic-basis GOP (MGOP) for a desired projectile nucleus by the spline interpolation over the incident energy and the target mass number.
The precision of experimental data and analysis techniques is a key feature of any discovery attempt. A striking example is the proton radius puzzle where the accuracy of the spectroscopy of muonic atoms challenges traditional electron scattering mea surements. The present work proposes a novel method for the determination of spatial moments from densities expressed in the momentum space. This method provides a direct access to even, odd, and more generally any real, negative and positive moment with order larger than $-3$. As an illustration, the application of this method to the electric form factor of the proton is discussed in detail.
