The cross section for the proton weak capture reaction $^1H(p,e^+\nu_e)^2H$ is calculated with wave functions obtained from a number of modern, realistic high-precision interactions. To minimize the uncertainty in the axial two-body current…
We identify a length scale that simultaneously accounts for the observed proton-nucleus reaction cross section and diffraction peak in the proton elastic differential cross section. This scale is the nuclear radius, $a$, deduced from proton…
Photocatalytic reactions often exhibit fast kinetics and high product selectivity, qualities which are desirable but difficult to achieve simultaneously in thermally driven processes. However, photo-driven mechanisms are poorly understood…
We investigate even-even nuclei in the $A\sim70$ mass region within the framework of the proton-neutron quasi-particle random phase approximation (\mbox{pn-QRPA}) and the interacting boson model-1 (\mbox{IBM-1}). Our work includes…

We study the fusion of a proton with a nucleus with the emission of two photons at low incident energy of the order of eV or smaller. We use a step model for the repulsive potential between proton and the nuclei. We consider the reaction…

The neutron-rich isotopes with 30 $\leq$ Z $\leq$ 45 are thought to be synthesised in neutrino-driven winds after the collapse of a massive star. This nucleosynthesis scenario, called the weak r-process, is studied using nuclear reaction…
We develop the formalism based on the S-matrix for $3 \to 3$ scattering to derive the direct three-body resonant radiative capture reaction rate. Within this formalism the states, which decay only/predominantly directly into three-body…
Proton interactions with $^{12}$C nuclei are a frequent nuclear interaction leading to secondary radiation in tissues for space radiation and cancer therapy with protons or $^{12}$C beams. The fragmentation of $^{12}$C by protons produces a…
