Abstract

We explore unsolved nuclear structure problems related with the spin and isospin degree of freedom by using microscopic models which accommodate realistic isoscalar and isovector pairing interactions, and also tensor correlations. For the attempt of universal theoretical framework for both nuclear and astrophysical phenomena, we adopt a self-consistent Hartree-Fock (HF)+random phase approximation (RPA) models, and a state-of-the-art beyond mean field model, Subtracted Second RPA (SSRPA), including the couplings to two-particle two-hole states. The quenching problems of magnetic dipole and Gamow-Teller transitions are discussed in terms of the coupling to 2p-2h configurations and also the tensor correlations. The $\beta$ decay life time of semi-magic and magic nuclei are discussed in RPA and SSRPA models.
