Of particular interest for radio and hard X-ray diagnostics of accelerated electrons during solar flares is the understanding of the basic non-linear mechanisms regulating the relaxation of electron beams propagating in turbulent plasmas.…
Bulk and decay properties, including deformation energy curves, charge mean square radii, Gamow-Teller (GT) strength distributions, and beta-decay half-lives, are studied in neutron-deficient even-even and odd-A Hg and Pt isotopes. The…
We investigate the effects of newly measured beta-decay half-lives on r-process nucleosynthesis. These new rates were determined by recent experiments at the radioactive isotope beam factory facility in the RIKEN Nishina Center. We adopt an…
Neutrinoless double beta decay is the most powerful tool to probe not only for Majorana neutrino masses but for lepton number violating physics in general. We discuss relations between lepton number violation, double beta decay and neutrino…

The direct $\gamma$-decays of the giant dipole resonance (GDR) and the giant quadrupole resonance (GQR) of $^{208}$Pb to low-lying states are investigated by means of a microscopic self-consistent model. The model considers effects beyond…
We construct two new classes of models for double beta decay, each of which leads to an electron spectrum which differs from the decays which are usually considered. One of the classes has a spectrum which has not been considered to date,…
The propagation and decay of neutral B-mesons can be described in terms of quantum dynamical semigroups; they provide generalized time-evolutions that take into account possible non-standard effects leading to loss of phase coherence and…
We express the resonant energies of the delta-shell potential in terms of the Lambert $W$ function, and we calculate their decay widths and decay constants. The ensuing numerical results strengthen the interpretation of such decay widths…
We identify and quantify systematic effects not accounted for in two previous measurements of the alpha-alpha relative-energy distribution in the beta decay of 8B, which can explain the apparent disagreement with respect to two newer…
In this work, the recoil corrections to the correlation coefficients in the neutron beta decay with polarized neutron and electron are evaluated to order O(m_n^-2) in the Born approximation. Different from the usual calculations applied in…

We study the dynamical evolution of a large amplitude r-mode by numerical simulations. R-modes in neutron stars are unstable growing modes, driven by gravitational radiation reaction. In these simulations, r-modes of amplitude unity or…
Bound states in the continuum (BICs) are trapped or guided modes with their frequencies in the frequency intervals of the radiation modes. On periodic structures, a BIC is surrounded by a family of resonant modes with their quality factors…
Precision tests of the Standard Model using $\beta$ decay have always relied on a careful choice of transition to minimize residual nuclear structure uncertainties. Following breakthroughs in nucleon-level radiative corrections in the last…

For r-process nucleosynthesis the beta decay rates of very neutron-rich nuclei are important ingredients. We consider the region around the neutron number N=82 and calculate the half-lives and rates for a number of nuclei. Forms for beta…
