The need of reconciling our understanding of the behavior of hadronic matter across a wide range of densities, especially at the time when data from multimessenger observations and novel experimental facilities are flooding in, has provided…
Cosmological models can be constrained by determining primordial abundances. Accurate predictions of the He I spectrum are needed to determine the primordial helium abundance to a precision of $< 1$% in order to constrain Big Bang…
Using a multi-channel analysis of W_L W_L scattering signals, I study the LHC's ability to distinguish among various models of strongly interacting electroweak symmetry breaking sectors.
We present the analysis of an observation by XMM-Newton that exhibits strongly variable, low-energy diffuse X-ray line emission. We reason that this emission is due to localised solar wind charge exchange (SWCX), originating from a passing…
Shell model studies have been done for very neutron - rich nuclei in the range Z=50-55 and N=82-87. Good agreement of the theoretical level spectra with the experimental one for N=82, 83 I and Te nuclei is shown. Then the results for three…
Indirect methods using nucleus-nucleus reactions at high energies (here, high energies mean $\sim$ 50 MeV/nucleon and higher) are now routinely used to extract information of interest for nuclear astrophysics. This is of extreme relevance…
Analyses of high energy elastic pp and $\bar pp$ scattering data from CERN ISR and SPS Collider seem to provide strong evidence in favor of the gauged nonlinear sigma-model of the nucleon. This model describes the nucleon as a topological…
Chromospherically sensitive atomic lines display different spectra in stellar active regions, spots, and the photosphere, raising the possibility that exoplanet transmission spectra are contaminated by the contrast between various portions…
We present a systematic measurement of the X-ray emission asymmetries in the K-shell dielectronic, trielectronic, and quadruelectronic recombination of free electrons into highly charged ions. Iron ions in He-like through O-like charge…
Convolution models are powerful tools in many fields of spectral and image analysis owing to their wide applicability, and X-ray astrophysical spectral analysis is no exception. We found that relativistically broadened Fe K${\alpha}$ line…
Recent X-ray studies have shown that supernova shock models are unable to satisfactorily explain X-ray emission in the rim of the Cygnus Loop. In an attempt to account for this anomalously enhanced X-ray flux, we fit the region with a model…
In the disks of spiral galaxies, diffuse soft X-ray emission is known to be strongly correlated with star-forming regions. However, this emission is not simply from a thermal-equilibrium plasma and its origin remains greatly unclear. In…

We study the core hole-electron correlation in coherently coupled molecules by energy dispersive near edge X-ray absorption fine-structure spectroscopy. In a transient phase, which exists during the transition between two bulk arrangements,…
We analyze the high-resolution X-ray spectrum of Hercules X-1, an intermediate-mass X-ray binary, which was observed with the XMM-Newton Reflection Grating Spectrometer. We measure the elemental abundance ratios by use of spectral models,…
The nonmesonic weak decay spectra of light hypernuclei have been evaluated in a systematic way. As theoretical framework we adopt the independent particle shell model with three different one-meson-exchange transition potentials. Good…
In this work we study the charge-exchange reaction to Isobaric Analog State using two types of transition densities. We show that for projectiles that do not probe the interior of the nucleus but mostly the surface of this nucleus, distinct…
What are the origins of the soft X-ray line emission from non-AGN galaxies? XMM-Newton RGS spectra of nearby non-AGN galaxies (including starforming ones: M82, NGC 253, M51, M83, M61, NGC 4631, M94, NGC 2903, and the Antennae galaxies, as…

Low-energy high-resolution neutrino-electron scattering experiments may play an important role in testing the gauge structure of the electroweak interaction. We propose the use of radioactive neutrino sources (e.g. $^{51}$Cr) in underground…
