Background: Traditionally, nucleon-nucleus optical potentials are made local for convenience. In recent work we studied the effects of including nonlocal interactions explicitly in the final state for (d,p) reactions, within the distorted…

A detailed examination of current data on S_17 (as opposed to an examination of S_17(0) only) excludes quoting S_17(0) with sufficiently small uncertainty. In contrast to suggestions that S_17(0) is now known with the accuracy of \pm 3%,…

The existence of cross-over resonances makes saturated-absorption spectra very complicated when external magnetic field B is applied. It is demonstrated for the first time that the use of micrometric-thin cells (MTC, $L\approx40\,\mu$m)…
It is shown that, for a nontrivial radiative decay channel of the 17-keV neutrino, the photons would distort the microwave background radiation through ionization of the universe. The constraint on the branching ratio of such decays from…
