All results of the neutron lifetime measurements performed in the last 20 years with the UCN storage method are in a good agreement. These results are consistent with the latest most accurate measurements of the neutron decay asymmetry…
We investigate the statistical properties of neutron-induced nuclear reactions on $^{238}$U using the GOE-$S$-matrix model, in which the Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble (GOE) is embedded into the scattering ($S$) matrix. The GOE-$S$-matrix…
Detailed description of nuclei necessitates model Hamiltonians which break most dynamical symmetries. Nevertheless, generalized notions of partial and quasi dynamical symmetries may still be applicable to selected subsets of states, amidst…
