Open quantum systems
- Nuclear physics: weakly bound and unbound nuclei
- Atomic physics: dipolar and quadrupolar anions
Quantum many-body physics
- Emergent phenomena, interplay with continuum couplings (halos, exotic decay modes, many-body resonances, rotational motion in the continuum, etc.)
- Effective scales, new degrees of freedom
Nuclear structure and reactions
- Spectroscopy of atomic nuclei, rotational bands
- Proton and neutron radiative capture reactions of astrophysical interest
