We present an analytical model for intermolecular Coulombic electron capture (ICEC) which includes the internal nuclear dynamics of the molecules involved. In ICEC, an electron attaches to an atom or molecule by transferring excess energy…
A double hybrid approximation using the Coulomb-attenuating method (CAM-DH) is derived within range-separated density-functional perturbation theory, in the spirit of a recent work by Cornaton {\it et al.} [Phys. Rev. A 88, 022516 (2013)].…
In conventional nuclear experiments a beam of accelerated nuclei collides with a target nucleus that is surrounded by other nuclei in a molecule, in condensed matter, or in a plasma environment. It is shown that for low collision energies…
Charge exchange (CE) reactions offer a major opportunity to excite nuclear isovector modes, providing clues about the nuclear interaction in the medium. Moreover, double charge exchange (DCE) reactions are proving to be a tempting tool to…

Nuclear fusion reactions, at energies, far below the Coulomb barrier play a significant role in the synthesis of light elements in the primordial nucleosynthesis as well as in the interior of compact stellar objects. Many different kinds of…

At low reduced electric fields the electron energy distribution function in heavy noble gases can take two distinct shapes. This "bistability effect" - in which electron-electron (Coulomb) collisions play an essential role - is analyzed…
The phenomenon of orbital relaxation upon excitation of core electrons is a major problem in the linear-response treatment of core-hole spectroscopies. Rather than addressing relaxation through direct dynamical correlation of the excited…

The triple alpha reaction is a key to $^{12}$C production and is expected to occur in weakly-coupled, thermal plasmas as encountered in normal stars. We investigate how Coulomb screening affects the structure of a system of three alpha…
The density functional determining the Coulomb energy of nuclei is calculated to the first order in $e^2$. It is shown that the Coulomb energy includes three terms: the Hartree energy; the Fock energy; and the correlation Coulomb energy…
Halo nuclei are located far from stability and exhibit a very peculiar structure. Due to their very short lifetime, they are often studied through reactions. Breakup reactions are of particular interest since their cross sections are large…
