The prediction of stellar ($\gamma$,$\alpha$) reaction rates for heavy nuclei is based on the calculation of ($\alpha$,$\gamma$) cross sections at sub-Coulomb energies. These rates are essential for modeling the nucleosynthesis of so-called…

We make a review of the main nuclear effects that affect neutrino-nucleus cross sections. We discuss how the different models in the literature try to describe these different effects, and thus try to compare between them. We focus on the…
