The internal structure of the nucleon - that is, what ordinary matter is made of and what the laws describing it are at their most fundamental level - is still not fully understood by modern nuclear physics. Form factors provide insight about parton positions while parton distribution functions give information about their momentum distribution inside the nucleon, but no correlations can be...

The internal structure of hadrons (which are bound-states of quarks and gluons, such as the proton or pion) is difficult to map due to the non-perturbative QCD regime in which the constituents interact. Decades of experiments in the field have allowed us to learn a lot about the distribution of momentum (through what is called parton distribution functions, PDFs) or transverse plane position...

Charmonium states, such as the J/$\psi$ and $\psi$(2S) mesons, are excellent probes of the deconfined state of matter, the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). The understanding of charmonia production in PbPb collisions requires the inclusion of many phenomena, such as dissociation in the QGP and statistical recombination, on top of cold nuclear matter effects. In this talk, final results on the...

The understanding of the structural properties of nuclei is a long-standing issue. Indeed, the underlying
complexity of a many-body fermionic system in strong interaction, led to the arising of wide panel of
phenomena and behavior. Thus an universal treatment of such properties is particularly challenging.
We'll give a short overview of the usual techniques used to describe nuclear...

Atomic nucleus is a quantum many-body system whose properties are determined by a number of nucleons and the interaction between them. The comprehensive theoretical framework for the description of nuclear systems should therefore be able to account for more than 3000 observed and thousands still unobserved nuclei, including their ground-state, excited-state and reaction properties. It turns...

233U plays the essential role of the fissile nucleus in the Th-U fuel cycle, which has been proposed as a safer and cleaner alternative to the U-Pu fuel cycle.
