We propose a scaling ansatz for the elastic energy of a system near the critical jamming transition in terms of three relevant fields: the compressive strain $\Delta \phi$ relative to the critical jammed state, the shear strain $\epsilon$,…
Yield stress materials form an interesting class of materials that behave like solids at small stresses, but start to flow once a critical stress is exceeded. It has already been reported both in experimental and simulation work that flow…
Using discrete element simulations, we demonstrate that critical behavior for yielding in soft disk and sphere packings is independent of distance to isostaticity over a wide range of dimensionless pressures. Jammed states are explored via…
The cluster distributions of different systems are examined to search for signatures of a continuous phase transition. In a system known to possess such a phase transition, both sensitive and insensitive signatures are present; while in…
Correlations in interacting many-particle systems can lead to the formation of clusters, in particular bound states and resonances. Systematic quantum statistical approaches allow to combine the nuclear statistical equilibrium description…
A three parameter scaling relationship between isotopic distributions for elements with Z$\leq 8$ has been observed that allows a simple description of the dependence of such distributions on the overall isospin of the system. This scaling…
We show that a scaling approach successfully characterizes clustering and intermittency in space and time, in systems of noninteracting particles driven by fluctuating surfaces. We study both the steady state and the approach to it, for…
Various features of the charge yield in heavy ion collisions are studied. Considered here are the nuclear emulsion data of $^{84}$Kr, $^{131}$Xe, $^{197}$Au, $^{238}$U in the energy range of 1 GeV/A. Mean charge yields and multiplicity…

Coupled-cluster theory is a powerful tool for first-principles calculations of atomic nuclei, enabling accurate predictions of nuclear observables across the Segr\`e chart. While coupled-cluster computations are especially efficient at…
We introduce a simple model of active transport for an ensemble of particles driven by an external shear flow. Active refers to the fact that the flow of the particles is modified by the distribution of particles itself. The model consists…
Isoscaling is found to hold for fragment yields in the antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD) simulations for collisions of calcium isotopes at 35 MeV/nucleon. This suggests the applicability of statistical considerations to the dynamical…

A scaling variable for electron scattering off nuclei in the Delta-region is shown to exist. A scaling law for a large variety of scattering data with different kinematics is found. This property turns out to be very sensitive to the…
Homogeneous nucleation of a new phase near an Ising-like critical point of another phase transition is studied. A scaling analysis shows that the free energy barrier to nucleation contains a singular term with the same scaling as the order…
Yielding is central to the relaxation, flow and fracture of a wide range of soft and molecular glasses, but its microscopic origin remains unclear. Here, we elucidate the yielding of a colloidal glass by using x-ray scattering to monitor…
The behavior of the nuclear matter response in the region of large momentum transfer, in which plane wave impulse approximation predicts the onset of y-scaling, is discussed. The theoretical analysis shows that scaling violations produced…
