Coulomb dissociation is an especially simple and important reaction mechanism. Since the perturbation due to the electric field of the nucleus is exactly known, firm conclusions can be drawn from such measurements. Electromagnetic matrix…

We provide a brief commentary on recent work by Hammer and Son on the scaling behavior of nuclear reactions involving the emission of several loosely bound neutrons. In this work they discover a regime, termed unnuclear physics, in which…
In a previous paper (Brunetti et al. 2004) we presented the first self-consistent calculations of the time-dependent coupled equations for the electrons, hadrons and Alfv\'en waves in the intracluster medium, which describe the stochastic…
Alfv\'en waves are a particular class of magnetohydrodynamic waves relevant in many astrophysical and laboratory plasmas. In partially ionized plasmas the dynamics of Alfv\'en waves is affected by the interaction between ionized and neutral…
We propose magnetic proto-neutron star (PNS) winds driven by \Alfven waves as well as the neutrino heating as an appropriate site for the r-process nucleosynthesis. \Alfven waves excited by surface motions of a PNS propagate outwardly, and…
