We consider a system of $N\gg 1$ interacting fermionic particles in three dimensions, confined in a periodic box of volume $1$, in the mean-field scaling. We assume that the interaction potential is bounded and small enough. We prove upper…
We find constraints on heavy, stable, strongly interacting massive particles (X) from searches for anomalous nuclei containing them, formed during primordial nucleosynthesis. Using existing data, we obtain a limit on the abundance ratio…
Central nucleon-nucleon potentials involving forbidden states are obtained for the Gaussian, exponential, and Yukawa type. The parameters of interaction are obtained by fitting the scattering phase shifts for energies up to 500 MeV,…
We show that the contact couplings of neutral pseudoscalar and axial mesons to the nucleon are proportional to $\Delta s$, the fraction of nucleon spin carried by the strange quark sea, and thus are strongly suppressed relative to the…
A model is developed for the hadronic and electromagnetic interaction in the two-nucleon system above pion threshold in the framework of meson, nucleon and $\Delta$ degrees of freedom. It is based on time-ordered perturbation theory and…
We employ the QCD sum rules method for description of nucleons in nuclear matter. We show that this approach provides a consistent formalism for solving various problems of nuclear physics. Such nucleon characteristics as the Dirac…
We examine a recently proposed nucleon-nucleon interaction, claimed by its authors both realistic and leading to a standing wave instability in symmetric nuclear matter. Contrary to these claims, we find that this interaction leads to a…
The study aims to explore the mechanism of heavy-ion fusion using various effective nucleon-nucleon (NN) interactions and nuclear density distributions. The nuclear potentials are obtained by folding the relativistic effective NN…
We compute the potential between a pair of nucleons in the D4-D8 holographic QCD. In the large 't Hooft coupling limit, $\lambda \gg 1$, the hadronic size of the baryon is small $\sim 1/\sqrt{\lambda}M_{KK}$, and their interaction with…
Nuclear mass data provide EMPIRICAL evidence of: 1. Clustering of nucleons; 2. Attractive n-p interactions; and 3. Repulsive but symmetric n-n and p-p interactions after correcting for the repulsive Coulomb interactions between positive…
The mass spectra of nucleon resonances with spin 1/2, 3/2, and 5/2 are systematically studied in the constituent quark model with meson-quark coupling, which is inspired by the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry of QCD. The meson-quark…
Effective neutrino-quark generalized interactions are entirely determined by Lorentz invariance, so they include all possible four-fermion non derivative Lorentz structures. They contain neutrino-quark non-standard interactions as a subset,…
Relativistic mean-field theory with $\delta$ meson, nonlinear isoscalar self-interactions and isoscalar-isovector cross interaction terms with parametrizations obtained to reproduce Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock calculations for nuclear…
Quantum dots with large Thouless number $g$ embody a regime where both disorder and interactions can be treated nonperturbatively using large-N techniques (with $N=g$) and quantum phase transitions can be studied. Here we focus on dots…
A simple one-dimensional gas-piston kinetic model gives the interaction potential between two colliding heavy ions. In the frame of the classical, thermodynamical approach, the colliding heavy ions are not submitted to friction, but…
We investigate the quantum interference between the resonant process of nuclear excitation by electron capture (NEEC) followed by the radiative decay of the excited nucleus, and radiative recombination (RR). In order to derive the…
Removal of the quenched approximation in the mechanism which produced an analytic estimate of quark-binding potentials, along with a reasonable conjecture of the color structure of the nucleon formed by such a binding potential, is shown to…
Nucleon drift and diffusion mechanisms in central collisions of asymmetric heavy-ions at near-barrier energies are investigated in the framework of a stochastic mean-field approach. Expressions for diffusion and drift coefficients for…
The matrix elements of relativistic nucleon-nucleon $(NN)$ potentials are calculated directly from the nonrelativistic potentials as a function of relative $NN$ momentum vectors, without using a partial wave decomposition. To this aim, the…
Nonstandard self-interactions can alter the evolution of cosmological neutrinos, mainly by damping free streaming, which should leave traces in cosmological observables. Although overall effects are opposite to those produced by neutrino…
