We consider new modes of two-neutrino and neutrinoless double-$\beta$ decays in which one $\beta$ electron goes over to a continuous spectrum and the other occupies a vacant bound level of the daughter ion. We calculate the corresponding…
This study investigates nuclear responses to two-body external fields, interpreted as double-phonon excitations, within the subtracted second random-phase approximation (SSRPA) for 16O. To clarify the underlying characteristics of these…
Quantum correlations between two or more different degrees of freedom of the same particle is sometimes referred to as intraparticle entanglement. In this work, we study these intra-particle correlations between two different degrees of…

We examine the contributions of odd-parity nuclear operators to the two-neutrino double beta decay $0^+\rightarrow 0^+$ amplitude, which come from the $P$-wave Coulomb corrections to the electron wave functions and the recoil corrections to…
The recently proposed Fully-Renormalized QRPA (FR-QRPA), which fullfils the Ikeda sum rule (ISR) exactly, is applied to the two-neutrino double beta decay of $^{76}$Ge, $^{82}$Se, $^{100}$Mo, $^{116}$Cd, $^{128}$Te and $^{130}$Xe. The…
Spontaneous symmetry breaking of interacting fermion systems constitutes a major challenge for many-body theory due to the proliferation of new independent scattering channels once absent or degenerate in the symmetric phase. One example is…
We calculate the equation of state of a two-component Fermi gas with attractive short-range interspecies interactions using the fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo method. The interaction strength is varied over a wide range by tuning the…
Interacting two component Fermi gases are at the heart of our understanding of macroscopic quantum phenomena like superconductivity. Changing nature of the interaction is expected to head to novel quantum phases. Here we study the ground…
In a previous article [Phys. Rev. D 79, 053001 (2009)] we estimated the correlated uncertainties associated to the nuclear matrix elements (NME) of neutrinoless double beta decay (0 nu beta beta) within the quasiparticle random phase…

The simultaneous emission of two $\alpha$ particles--double-$\alpha$ decay--represents a long-predicted but unobserved mode of nuclear radioactivity. Here we formulate this process as a genuine three-body problem within the hyperspherical…
We address the stopping in heavy-ion induced reactions around the Fermi energy using central collisions recorded with \emph{INDRA} $4\pi$ array. The stopping is minimal around the Fermi energy and corresponds to the disappearance of the…
