The Lambda_b to Lambda_c semileptonic decay is analyzed in the framework of heavy quark effective theory to the order of 1/m_c and 1/m_b. The QCD sum rule and large N_c predictions to the decay form factors are applied. It argues that the…
\gamma-softness in atomic nuclei is investigated in the framework of energy density functionals. By mapping constrained microscopic energy surfaces for a set of representative non-axial medium-heavy and heavy nuclei to a Hamiltonian of the…
We evaluate the width of the $\omega$ meson in nuclear matter. We consider the free decay mode of the $\omega$ into three pions, which is dominated by $\rho \pi$ decay, and replace the $\rho$ and $\pi$ propagators by their medium modified…
All extensions of the standard model that generate Majorana neutrino masses at the electro-weak scale introduce some "heavy" mediators, either fermions and/or scalars, weakly coupled to leptons. Here, by "heavy" we understand implicitly the…
We investigate the two-particle intensity correlation function of $\Lambda$ in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We find that the behavior of the $\Lambda\Lambda$ correlation function at small relative momenta is fairly sensitive to the…
We present recent shell-model calculations of the gamma-decay in sd-pf and pf-shell nuclei. We focus on the M1 part of the dipole strength which was shown to exhibit interesting low-energy effects, in particular a low-energy enhancement…
The $\lambda$ mechanism ($W_L$-$W_R$ exchange) of the neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$-decay), which has origin in left-right symmetric model with right-handed gauge boson at TeV scale, is investigated. The revisited…
Explicit expressions for the parity-violating s-wave and the parity-conserving p-wave contributions to pi- weak-decay rates of Lambda hypernuclei in the 1p shell are given in the weak-coupling limit, to update previous shell-model…
The Non-Mesonic (NM) decay of $^4_\Lambda{\mathrm{He}}$ and $^5_\Lambda{\mathrm{He}}$ in two-body channels has been studied by the FINUDA Collaboration. Two-body NM decays of hypernuclei are rare and the existing observations and…

Nonlocal (spatial-dispersion) effects in multilayered metamaterials composed of periodic stacks of alternating, deeply subwavelength dielectric layers are known to be negligibly weak. Counterintuitively, under certain critical conditions,…
We study the localization properties of non-interacting waves propagating in a speckle-like potential superposed on a one-dimensional lattice. Using a decimation/renormalization procedure, we estimate the localization length for a…
The collective structure of atomic nuclei intermediate between spherical and quadrupole deformed structure presents challenges to theoretical understanding. However, models have recently been proposed in terms of potentials which are soft…
A basic prediction of the statistical model of compound nucleus reactions is that the partial widths for decay into any open channel channel fluctuate according to the Porter-Thomas distribution (PTD). A recent experiment on $s$- and…
Triggered by experimentally driven renewed interest in hyperon properties we address the subject of weak radiative hyperon decays (WRHD). We start with the issue of Hara's theorem and briefly discuss the question of its possible evasion.…
We present a systematic study on linear propagation of ultrashort laser pulses in media with dispersion, dispersionless media and vacuum. The applied method of amplitude envelopes gives the opportunity to estimate the limits of slowly…
For the first time we apply the methodologies of nonlinear analysis to investigate atomic matter. We use these methods in the analysis of Atomic Weights and of Mass Number of atomic nuclei. Using the AutoCorrelation Function and Mutual…
An infinite system of nonlocal, individually confining solitons is considered as a model of high-density nuclear matter. The soliton-lattice problem is discussed in the Wigner-Seitz approximation. The cell size is varied to study the…
The structure of infinite nuclear matter is studied with two of the Zimanyi - Moszkowski (ZM) models in the framework of a relativistic approximation which takes into account Hartree terms and beyond and is compared with the results which…
