Scattering of neutrons in the 24-150 keV incident energy range from H2O relative to that of D2O and H2O-D2O mixtures was reported very recently. Studying time-of-flight integrated intensities, the applied experimental procedure appears to…
The neutron-proton effective mass splitting in neutron-rich nucleonic matter reflects the space-time nonlocality of the isovector nuclear interaction. It affects the neutron/proton ratio during the earlier evolution of the Universe, cooling…

The theory of scattering of low energy neutrinos and antineutrinos by atomic electrons has recently been developed (I. B. Whittingham, Phys. Rev. D 105, 013008 (2022)) using the Bound Interaction Picture in configuration space to fully…
A method is proposed to determine the one-neutron $S_n$ or two-neutron $S_{2n}$ separation energy of neutron-rich isotopes. Relationships between $S_n$ ($S_{2n}$) and isotopic cross sections have been deduced from an empirical formula,…

We discuss the experimental data on the n,e-scattering length bne and the values of mean square charge radius of the neutron <r^2> obtained from them. It is shown that the accumulated during the last 50 years most significant experimental…
We treat low-energy $^3$He-$\alpha$ elastic scattering in an Effective Field Theory (EFT) that exploits the separation of scales in this reaction. We compute the amplitude up to Next-to-Next-to-Leading Order (NNLO), developing a hierarchy…
We provide systematic analysis of the differential cross section of the proton-$^3{\rm He}$ elastic scattering at $\theta_{\rm cm}=180^{\circ}$ and at $T_p<700$ MeV. Three mechanisms are discussed: 2N pair exchange in the triplet and…

The relation between nuclear saturation and NN-correlations is examined. Nucleons bound in a nucleus have a reduced effective mass due to the mean field. This results in off-energy-shell scatterings modifying the free-space NN-interaction…
