We compute energy distributions of three particles emerging from decaying many-body resonances. We reproduce the measured energy distributions from decays of two archetypal states chosen as the lowest $0^{+}$ and $1^{+}$-resonances in…

Isoscalar dipole nuclear response reveals the low- and high-energy resonances. The nature of isoscalar dipole resonances in heavy spherical nuclei is studied by using the translation-invariant kinetic model of small oscillations of finite…
Superheavy nuclei represent the heaviest atoms and nuclides known at the limit of mass and charge. The observed superheavy nuclei are all proton-rich; they decay primarily by emitting $\alpha$ particles and fission, with a possible small…

We examine the spectral structure and many-body dynamics of two and three repulsively interacting bosons trapped in a one-dimensional double-well, for variable barrier height, inter-particle interaction strength, and initial conditions. By…
A simple superasymmetric fission model using microscopically calculated nuclear potentials has shown itself to be outstandingly successful in describing highly asymmetric spontaneous disintegration of nuclei into two composite nuclear…
We describe electromagnetic and favored \alpha-transitions to rotational bands in odd-mass nuclei built upon a single particle state with angular momentum projection $\Omega=\frac{1}{2}$ in the region $88 \le Z \le 98$. We use the particle…
We consider new modes of two-neutrino and neutrinoless double-$\beta$ decays in which one $\beta$ electron goes over to a continuous spectrum and the other occupies a vacant bound level of the daughter ion. We calculate the corresponding…
