There are problems with defining the thermodynamic limit of systems with long-range interactions; as a result, the thermodynamic behavior of these types of systems is anomalous. In the present work, we review some concepts from both…
Motivated by a problem in heterogeneous catalysis, we study a model for irreversible first-order reactions in which gas transport occurs only by diffusion, and reaction occurs only at a small number of well-localized sites. The main problem…
The distribution function of the relative velocity in a two-body reaction of nonrelativistic uncorrelated particles is derived for general cases of given distribution functions of single particle velocities. The distribution function is…
We propose a novel mechanism to explain nuclear decay by emission of an alpha particle. We show that the famous Geiger-Nuttall law can be explained by post-forming an alpha particle outside the range of the nuclear interaction with the…
A numerical experiment of ideal stochastic motion of a particle subject to conservative forces and Gaussian noise reveals that the path probability depends exponentially on action. This distribution implies a fundamental principle…
We propose an efficient method to compute reaction rate constants of thermally activated processes occurring in many-body systems at finite temperature. The method consists in two steps: first, paths are sampled using a transition path…
Modern statistical thermodynamics retains the concepts employed by Landau of the order parameter and a functional depending on it, now called the Hamiltonian. The present paper investigates the limits of validity for the use of the…

Reaction-diffusion equations are one of the most common partial differential equations used to model physical phenomenon. They arise as the combination of two physical processes: a driving force $f(u)$ that depends on the state variable $u$…
It was shown that in the canonical ensemble the simple exactly soluble statistical model of nuclei decay into nucleons, which is a limiting case of the statistical multifragmentation model, predicts the nuclear first order phase transition…
Background: Nuclear reactions are complex, with a large number of possible channels. Understanding how different channels contribute to a given reaction is investigated by perturbing the continuous spectrum. Purpose: To develop tools to…
Understanding the radiogenic neutron production rate through the (${\alpha}$, n) reaction is crucial in many areas of physics, including dark matter searches, neutrino studies, and nuclear astrophysics. In addition to its relevance for…

We present a semiclassical analysis of the quantum propagator of a particle confined on one side by a steeply, monotonically rising potential. The models studied in detail have potentials proportional to $x^{\alpha}$ for $x>0$; the limit…
The effect of electrostatic microturbulence on fast particles rapidly decreases at high energy, but can be significant at moderate energy. Previous studies found that, in addition to changes in the energetic particle density, this results…
