This contribution gives a short review of recent theoretical advances in most topics of nuclear cluster physics concentrating, however, around {$\alpha$} particle clustering. Along the route, the point of view will be critical mentioning…
The theoretical investigations at ITEP in the years 1945-1958 are reviewed. There are exposed the most important theoretical results, obtained in the following branches of physics: 1) the theory of nuclear reactors on thermal neutrons; 2)…
Three-body continuum problems are investigated for light nuclei of astrophysical relevance. We focus on three-body decays of resonances or recombination via resonances or the continuum background. The concepts of widths, decay mechanisms…
The International School on Cosmological Dark Matter held in Valencia in the fall of 1993 was devoted to the interplay of cosmology and particle physics, with the obvious emphasis on the Dark Matter issue. Here I present the expanded…
Invited talk at European Workshop on the QCD Structure of the Nucleon (QCD-N\'02), Ferrara, Italy, 3--6 Apr 2002
The ECFA Higgs, electroweak, and top Factory Study ran between 2021 and 2025 as a broad effort across the experimental and theoretical particle physics communities, bringing together participants from many different proposed future collider…
Almost exactly 3 decades ago, in the fall of 1986, the era of experimental ultra-relativistic (\emph{E/m $\gg 1$}) heavy ion physics started simultaneously at the SPS at CERN and the AGS at Brookhaven with first beams of light Oxygen ions…
The Electromagnetic and Hadronic Physics sub-community of nuclear physics held a town hall meeting at Jefferson Lab during November 30 to December 4 of 2000. This is is our combined contribution to the white paper that will result from this…
Two models are presented for the description of the electron screening effects that appear in laboratory nuclear reactions at astrophysical energies. The two-electron screening energy of the first model agrees very well with the recent LUNA…
These are the notes corresponding to the course given at the IAS-Park City graduate summer school in July 2007.
We outline the course of affairs in the experimental and theoretical fields of nuclear and particle physics which determined its finale, and give several fragmentary remarks on its present state. The essay tells about events and their…
One of the more memorable (and easiest) proposal to deal with when I served on Bob Wilson's Program Advisory Committee at NAL (Now Fermilab) from 1972-75 was Proposal-178, "A study of the average multiplicity and multiplicity distributions…
Nuclear astrophysics is that branch of astrophysics which helps understanding some of the many facets of the Universe through the knowledge of the microcosm of the atomic nucleus. In the last decades much advance has been made in nuclear…
The neutral triple gauge couplings~(nTGCs) provide a unique opportunity to probe new physics beyond the Standard Model. The nTGCs can be described by an effective field theory~(EFT), which is valid only under a certain energy scale. One of…
A novel recovery of some important documents related to the Fermi course on neutron physics, held at Los Alamos in 1945, is announced. Its relevance for the effective launch of a British nuclear programme in the early postwar period,…
This is the write-up of my lectures at the NATO Summer School held in Salamanca in June 1992. The paper deals with the problem of time in quantum gravity. All the major schemes are reviewed. Please note that the paper is in two parts for…
The coupling of photons with (ultra-) relativistic atomic nuclei is presented in two particular circumstances: very high electromagnetic fields and very short photon pulses. We consider a typical situation where the (bare) nuclei (fully…
The newly built second experimental area EAR2 of the n_TOF spallation neutron source at CERN allows to perform (n, charged particles) experiments on short-lived highly radioactive targets. This paper describes a detection apparatus and the…
I present some recent results from experiments at the Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator (ORELA) and discuss their impact in nuclear astrophysics. I then describe some possible future nuclear astrophysics experiments at ORELA and at the…
