The description of nuclei starting from the constituent nucleons and the realistic interactions among them has been a long-standing goal in nuclear physics. In recent years, a significant progress has been made in developing ab initio many-body approaches capable of describing both bound and scattering states in light and medium mass nuclei based on input from QCD employing Hamiltonians...

The Multi-Channel Algebraic-Scattering (MCAS) method, developed in 2003 for the analysis of low-energy nuclear spectra and of resonant scattering, continues to be effectively used for nuclear-structure studies. The MCAS approach allows the construction of the nucleon-core model Hamiltonian which can be defined in detail (coupling to the collective modes, rotational or vibrational, diverse...

The bouncing of sports balls is often characterized in terms of the coefficient of restitution, which represents the ratio of the after-impact velocity to the before-impact velocity. While the behaviour of the coefficient of restitution as a function of the internal pressure of the ball has been studied, no theoretical justification has been given for any parametric curve fitted to the data....
