We study pairing in low-density neutron matter including the screening interaction due to the exchange of particle-hole and RPA excitations. As bare force we employ the effective low-momentum interaction $V_{low\,k}$, while the Fermi-liquid…
Studies in nuclear astrophysics have long been associated with long runs at small accelerators, measuring ever-decreasing cross sections as one approached (but rarely reached) the energy of reactions in stars. But in recent years pioneering…

In low-dimensional structures with strong Rashba spin-orbit interaction (SOI), the Coulomb fields between moving electrons produce a SOI component of the pair interaction that competes with the potential Coulomb repulsion. If the Rashba SOI…

In fusion reactions, the Coulomb barrier selects particles from the high-momentum part of the distribution. Therefore, small variations of the high-momentum tail of the velocity distribution can produce strong effects on fusion rates. In…
We revisit the long-standing problem of the superfluid transition temperature $T_c$ in dilute neutron matter. It is well known that $T_c$ is strongly affected by medium polarization effects (screening) which modify the pairing interaction…

Charged particles accelerated by electromagnetic fields emit radiation, which must, by the conservation of momentum, exert a recoil on the emitting particle. The force of this recoil, known as radiation reaction, strongly affects the…
We use effective field theory and thermal field theory to study the dynamical screening effect in the QED plasma on the $\alpha$-$\alpha$ scattering at the $^8$Be resonance. Dynamical screening leads to an imaginary part of the potential…
