Transfer-ionization in fast collisions between a bare ion and an atom, in which one of the atomic electrons is captured by the ion whereas another one is emitted, crucially depends on dynamic electron-electron correlations. We show that in…
In an electron capture process by a nucleus, emitted neutrinos are monoenergetic. By making use of it, we study how to get a completely monoenergetic neutrino beam in a long baseline experiment.

A standard method to detect thermal neutrons is the nuclear interaction $^3$He(n,p)$^3$H. The spin-dependence of this interaction is also the basis of a neutron spin-polarization filter using nuclear polarized $^3$He. We consider the…
