We show that the decay of the density of active particles in the reaction $A+B \rightarrow 0$ in one dimension, with exclusion interaction, results in logarithmic corrections to the expected power law decay, when the starting initial…

The double-beta (2$\beta$)-decay is the rarest nuclear physics process, and its experimental half-lives (T$_{1/2}$) exceed the age of the Universe from nine to fourteen orders of magnitude. Double-beta decay was observed, and its half-life…
In this paper, we carefully look at the $\alpha$ -decay half-lives of 196 even-even nuclei using a two-potential approach that is made better by taking into account an alpha particle's effective mass that changes with coordinates. The…
