Experimental results for sub-barrier nuclear fusion reactions show cross section enhancements with respect to bare nuclei which are generally larger than those expected according to electron screening calculations. We point out that energy…
In this work, we perform a study of nucleon resonance production in the $\gamma p \to p\eta\phi$ reaction within an effective Lagrangian approach. In our model, we consider the excitation of the $N^*(1535)$, $N^*(1650)$, $N^*(1710)$ and…

We discover a surprising relation between the collective motion of nucleons within atomic nuclei, traditionally understood to be driven by long-range correlations, and short-range nucleon-nucleon interactions. Specifically, we find that…
