- Hyper Nucleus (Y. Koike, Y.Nara, Y. Hirata, A. Ohnishi)
Study of a few-body system including Σ-hyperon, and microscopic simula
tion for hyper nucleus formation.
- Cluster Theory (N. Itagaki, A. Ohnishi, K. Kato)
It has been known in light nuclei that the cluster structure constructed
with several nucleons plays an important role. In addition to the
traditional α-cluster model, we are studying the degree of the effect
of α-cluster breaking especially for a carbon nucleus. We are also
studying the possibility of the existence of a linear-chain configuration
of the α-cluster in high excited states of Oxygen nucleus.
- Neutron-rich Nucleus (S. Mukai, S. Aoyama, M.Honma, T. Myo, K. Kato)
We are studying exotic structure and excitation of neutron-rich nuclei
such as 11Li, 10He and 6He. Especially, we are investigating new excited
resonance states of these nuclei by using the Complex Scaling Method.
- High Energy Heavy Ion Reaction (N. Ohtsuka, Y. Nara, A. Ohnishi)
A nucleus is one of densest matter in nature. Especially, in collisions
between two heavy nuclei, the nuclear matter reaches very hot and dense
(See diagram) .
We are analyzing properties of such a matter in the simulation framework.

- Quarkonium System (N. Yabusaki, K. Kato)
With the quark model, in which quarks are considered to be the most
fundamental unit constructing matters, we are studying structure and
excitation levels of baryons and mesons which are elements of a nucleus.
