The alpha-decay half-lives of recently synthesized superheavy nuclei (SHN) are investigated based on a unified fission model (UFM) where a new method to calculate the assault frequency of alpha-emission is used. The excellent agreement with…
Superfluidity is a well-characterized quantum phenomenon which entails frictionless-motion of mesoscopic particles through a superfluid, such as $^4$He or dilute atomic-gases at very low temperatures. As shown by Landau, the incompatibility…
It is supposed that $\beta$-decay can be slightly suppressed at an atomic substance - plasma transition under a plasma electron gas action. The estimation shows that this effect can give a relative difference of the decay amount on a level…

The detonation behaviors during thermonuclear burning indicate a state of robust hot spot burning and are widely present in astronomical phenomena, such as supernovae. In this work, we propose an analytical model including alpha-particle…
We construct a model of non-uniform condensate having a spatially modulated complex order parameter that makes it kinematically an x-ray solid, i.e., a real mass density wave, but one admitting an associated superfluid flow. Intrinsic to…
The mechanism of the roughening induced partial depinning of gliding dislocations from Helium-3 impurities is proposed as an alternative to the standard "boiling off". We give a strong argument that Helium-3 remains bound to dislocations…
We study the finite temperature and density effects on beta decay rates to compute their contributions to nucleosynthesis. QED type corrections to beta decay from the hot and dense background are estimated in terms of the statistical…
Method: To examine signatures of this alpha-condensation, a compound nucleus reaction using 160, 280, and 400 MeV 16O beams impinging on a carbon target was used to investigate the 12C(16O,7a) reaction. This permits a search for…
We study the effect of medium on radioactive alpha decay and other similar decays. The initial state in these type of decays is a quasi-bound state with energy greater than zero. Such a state has very large amplitude in the nuclear region…
Metal atoms and small clusters introduced into superfluid helium (He II) concentrate there in quantized vortices to form (by further coagulation) the thin nanowires. The nanowires' thickness and structure are well predicted by a…
