In recent times, it has become commonplace to mention the unification of structure and reaction nuclear theory as one of the hot topics in low-energy nuclear physics. This interest is, of course, not new, but some present circumstances might have made it more acute. First, the experimental access to very weakly bound or unbound nuclei has blurred the limits between structure and reaction...

The compound nucleus theory plays the central role in calculating nuclear reaction processes at relatively low energies, and the statistical treatment for the compound resonances leads to the so-called Hauser-Feshbach theory with width fluctuation correction. The Hauser-Feshbach theory is particularly important for providing reliable nuclear reaction data not only in nuclear technology...

Nuclear reactions are one of the most diverse probes to study nuclear properties. They are also used to extract astrophysically relevant information. However, the reaction theory needed for the interpretation of the measurements contains significant uncertainties. I will review the recent efforts on performing Bayesian analyses of reaction models and the efforts to quantify the uncertainties...
