Doubly magic nuclei have a simple structure and are the cornerstones for entire regions of the nuclear chart. Theoretical insights into the supposedly doubly magic $^{78}$Ni and its neighbors are challenging because of the extreme neutron-to-proton ratio and the proximity of the continuum. We predict the $J^pi=2_1^+$ state in $^{78}$Ni from a correlation with the $J^pi=2_1^+$ state in $^{48}$Ca using chiral nucleon-nucleon and three-nucleon interactions. Our results confirm that $^{78}$Ni is doubly magic, and the predicted low-lying states of $^{79,80}$Ni open the way for shell-model studies of many more rare isotopes.

$beta$-decay rates play a decisive role in understanding the nucleosynthesis of heavy elements and are governed by microscopic nuclear-structure information. A sudden shortening of the half-lives of Ni isotopes beyond $N=50$ was observed at the RIKEN
-RIBF. This is considered due to the persistence of the neutron magic number $N=50$ in the very neutron-rich Ni isotopes. By systematically studying the $beta$-decay rates and strength distributions in the neutron-rich Ni isotopes around $N=50$, I try to understand the microscopic mechanism for the observed sudden shortening of the half-lives. The $beta$-strength distributions in the neutron-rich nuclei are described in the framework of nuclear density-functional theory. I employ the Skyrme energy-density functionals (EDF) in the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculation for the ground states and in the proton-neutron Quasiparticle Random-Phase Approximation (pnQRPA) for the transitions. Not only the allowed but the first-forbidden (FF) transitions are considered. The experimentally observed sudden shortening of the half-lives beyond $N=50$ is reproduced well by the calculations employing the Skyrme SkM* and SLy4 functionals. The sudden shortening of the half-lives is due to the shell gap at $N=50$ and cooperatively with the high-energy transitions to the low-lying $0^-$ and $1^-$ states in the daughter nuclei. The onset of FF transitions pointed out around $N=82$ and 126 is preserved in the lower-mass nuclei around $N=50$. This study suggests that needed is a microscopic calculation where the shell structure in neutron-rich nuclei and its associated effects on the FF transitions are selfconsistenly taken into account for predicting $beta$-decay rates of exotic nuclei in unknown region.
We extend the ab initio coupled-cluster effective interaction (CCEI) method to deformed open-shell nuclei with protons and neutrons in the valence space, and compute binding energies and excited states of isotopes of neon and magnesium. We employ a n
ucleon-nucleon and three-nucleon interaction from chiral effective field theory evolved to a lower cutoff via a similarity renormalization group transformation. We find good agreement with experiment for binding energies and spectra, while charge radii of neon isotopes are underestimated. For the deformed nuclei $^{20}$Ne and $^{24}$Mg we reproduce rotational bands and electric quadrupole transitions within uncertainties estimated from an effective field theory for deformed nuclei, thereby demonstrating that collective phenomena in $sd$-shell nuclei emerge from complex ab initio calculations.
Recent experimental observation of magicity in $^{78}$Ni has infused the interest to examine the persistence of the magic character across the N$=$50 shell gap in extremely neutron rich exotic nucleus $^{78}$Ni in ground as well as excited states. A
systematic study of Ni isotopes and N$=$50 isotones in ground state is performed within the microscopic framework of relativistic mean-field (RMF) and the triaxially deformed Nilson Strutinsky model (NSM). Ground state density distributions, charge form factors, radii, separation energies, pairing energies, single particle energies and the shell corrections show strong magicity in $^{78}$Ni. Excited nuclei are treated within the statistical theory of hot rotating nuclei where the variation of level density parameter and entropy shows significant magicity with a deep minima at N$=$50, which, persists up to the temperatures $approx$ 1.5$-$2 MeV and then slowly disappear with increasing temperature. Rotational states are evaluated and effect of rotation on N$=$50 (Z$=$20$-$30) isotones are studied. Our results agree very well with the available experimental data and few other theoretical calculations.
We develop a fully self-consistent subtracted second random-phase approximation for charge-exchange processes with Skyrme energy-density functionals. As a first application, we study Gamow-Teller excitations in the doubly-magic nucleus $^{48}$Ca, the
lightest double-$beta$ emitter that could be used in an experiment, and in $^{78}$Ni, the single-beta-decay rate of which is known. The amount of Gamow-Teller strength below 20 or 30 MeV is considerably smaller than in other energy-density-functional calculations and agrees better with experiment in $^{48}$Ca, as does the beta-decay rate in $^{78}$Ni. These important results, obtained without textit{ad hoc} quenching factors, are due to the presence of two-particle -- two-hole configurations. Their density progressively increases with excitation energy, leading to a long high-energy tail in the spectrum, a fact that may have implications for the computation of nuclear matrix elements for neutrinoless double-$beta$ decay in the same framework.
We present an ab-initio calculation of the giant dipole resonance in 16O based on a nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction from chiral effective field theory that reproduces NN scattering data with high accuracy. By merging the Lorentz integral transform a
nd the coupled-cluster methods, we extend the previous theoretical limits for break-up observables in light nuclei with mass numbers (A<=7), and address the collective giant dipole resonance of 16O. We successfully benchmark the new approach against virtually exact results from the hyper-spherical harmonics method in 4He. Our results for 16O reproduce the position and the total strength (bremsstrahlung sum rule) of the dipole response very well. When compared to the cross section from photo-absorption experiments the theoretical curve exhibits a smeared form of the peak. The tail region between 40 and 100 MeV is reproduced within uncertainties.
