Corrections to the superallowed beta decay matrix elements are evaluated in perturbation theory using the notion of the isovector monopole resonance. The calculation avoids the separation into different contributions and thus presents a…
A brief summary of the status of neutrino masses, mixing and oscillations is presented. Neutrinoless double $\beta$-decay is considered. Predictions for the effective Majorana mass are reviewed. A possible test of the calculations of…
The present status of the nucleon's spin structure is reviewed with emphasis on new experimental results.
We use the hyperspherical adiabatic expansion method to discuss the the two mechanisms of sequential and direct three-body decay. Both short-range and Coulomb interactions are included. Resonances are assumed initially populated by a…
Investigation of the interaction of muons with complex nuclei yields important results on the properties of nuclei and on their electromagnetic interaction with muons happening to be in the Coulomb field of the nucleus. The muon serves as a…
A new simple method for description of the nucleation process on the wide class of heterogeneous centers is given. The nucleation occurs on the heterogeneous centers with different heights of activation barriers. The distribution of the…
We describe the development of a theoretical description of the structure of finite nuclei based on a relativistic quark model of the structure of the bound nucleons which interact through the (self-consistent) exchange of scalar and vector…
Radiative decays of hadronic states provide an essential source of information that can facilitate deciphering their nature and properties. However, a lot of confusion concerning radiative decays of hadronic molecules and their…
Neutrinoless double-beta decay is a forbidden, lepton-number-violating nuclear transition whose observation would have fundamental implications for neutrino physics, theories beyond the Standard Model and cosmology. In this review, we…
Short history of ideas concerning a possible existence of bound states of the $\eta$-meson and a nucleus is considered. First experiments at BNL and LAMPF on searching for these states are discussed. Another recent experiment using the…
Theoretical estimates for the half life of neutrinoless double beta decay in candidate nuclei are affected by both particle and nuclear physics uncertainties, which may complicate the interpretation of decay signals or limits. We study such…
We have studied the three-particle decay of 12C, 9Be and 6Be resonances. These nuclei have been described as three-body systems by means of the complex scaled hyperspherical adiabatic expansion method. The short-distance part of the…
We report here theoretical investigations on the complexity of nuclear structure, which have been carried out in the framework of different many-body approaches, typically applied to nuclear matter and quark matter studies. The variational,…
Nuclear theory today aims for a comprehensive theoretical framework that can describe all nuclei. I discuss recent progress in this pursuit and the associated challenges as we move forward.
In recent times, several hints of lepton non-universality have been observed in semileptonic $B$ meson decays, both in the charged-current ($b \to c l \bar \nu_l$) and neutral-current ($b \to s ll $) transitions. Motivated by these…
A nonstandard method for calculating the nuclear $2\nu\beta\beta$ - decay amplitude is proposed. The method is based on the explicit use of those approximate symmetries of a nuclear hamiltonian, which correspond to the operators of allowed…
Several non-threshold reactions which may be used to detect the cosmic neutrino background are presented. The corresponding cross sections are calculated analytically within the Standard Model. These reactions are sensitive not only to the…
The main open problem in the physics of Lambda-hypernuclei is the lack of a sound theoretical interpretation of the large experimental values for the ratio G_n/G_p. To approach the problem, we have incorporated a Lambda N-> nN…
Radioactive components of the interstellar medium provide an entirely-different and new aspect to the studies of the interstellar medium. Injected from sources of nucleosynthesis, unstable nuclei decay along their trajectories. Measurements…
The process of nuclear multifragmentation has been implemented, together with evaporation and fission channels of the disintegration of excited remnants in nucleus-nucleus collisions using percolation theory and the intranuclear cascade…
