Cosmic rays are ubiquitous in interstellar environments, and their bombardment of dust-grain ice mantles is a possible driver for the formation of complex, even prebiotic molecules. Yet, critical data that are essential for accurate…
We explore giant resonance spectra and low-lying dipole strength in the Ni and Sn chains from proton rich to very neutron rich isotopes, relevant in astrophysical reaction chains. For the theoretical description we employ the random-phase…
Reactions occurring on the ice-covered surfaces of interstellar dust grains are considered to be among the most important sources of complex species in the interstellar medium. Despite this, molecules such as cyanamide, NH2CN, are largely…
Astrochemistry lies at the nexus of astronomy, chemistry, and molecular physics. On the basis of precise laboratory data, a rich collection of more than 200 familiar and exotic molecules have been identified in the interstellar medium, the…
While studying nucleic acids to reveal the weak interactions responsible for their three-dimensional structure and for their interactions with drugs, we also contributed to the field of biomolecular mass spectrometry, both in terms of…
Recent measurements of the cosmic ray (CR) antiproton flux have been shown to challenge existing CR propagation models. It was shown that the reacceleration models designed to match secondary to primary nuclei ratios (e.g., boron/carbon)…
Resonant photopion production with the cosmic microwave background predicts a suppression of extragalactic protons above the famous Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin cutoff at about E_{GZK} ~ 5 x 10^10 GeV. Current cosmic ray data measured by the…
We compute the energy spectra of antideuterons and antihelium in cosmic rays (CRs) in a scenario where hadronic interactions inside supernova remnants (SNRs) can produce a diffusively-shock-accelerated "source component" of secondary…
The experiment, E08-014, in Hall-A at Jefferson Lab aims to study the short-range correlations (SRC) which are necessary to explain the nuclear strength absent in the mean field theory. The cross sections for $\mathrm{^{2}H}$,…
Atomic properties such as field shift constants, magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole hyperfine structure constants, Land\'e $g_J$ factors, and electric quadrupole moments that are described by electronic operators with different ranks…
The increasing sensitivity and resolution of ground-based telescopes have enabled the detection of gas-phase complex organic molecules (COMs) across a variety of environments. Many of the detected species are expected to form on the icy…
Radiative energy losses are very important in regulating the cosmic ray electron and/or positron (CRE) spectrum during their propagation in the Milky Way. Particularly, the Klein-Nishina (KN) effect of the inverse Compton scattering (ICS)…
Nitrogen (N) fractionation is used as a tool to search for a link between the chemical history of the Solar System and star-forming regions. A large variation of $^{14}$N/$^{15}$N is observed towards different astrophysical sources, and…
Almost 20 % of the ~ 200 different species detected in the interstellar and circumstellar media present a carbon atom linked to nitrogen by a triple bond. Of these 37 molecules, 30 are nitrile R-CN compounds, the remaining 7 belonging to…
We present a theoretical and numerical study of the correlation between electrons and the fermionic $^{13}$C and $^{19}$F nuclei. We use the random-phase approximation (RPA) as a valuable tool in obtaining these correlation energies. A…
The detection and subsequent characterisation of exoplanets are intimately linked to the characteristics of their host star. Therefore, it is necessary to study the star in detail in order to understand the formation history and…
The mid-IR spectra of six large, irregular PAHs with formulae (C84H24 - C120H36) have been computed using Density Functional Theory (DFT). Trends in the dominant band positions and intensities are compared to those of large, compact PAHs as…
Within the framework of the lattice-statics and static fluctuation-wave methods, the available energies of strain-induced interaction of interstitial-interstitial, interstitial-substitutional and substitutional-substitutional impurity…
The TRACER instrument (``Transition Radiation Array for Cosmic Energetic Radiation'') has been developed for direct measurements of the heavier primary cosmic-ray nuclei at high energies. The instrument had a successful long-duration…
Ultra-peripheral collisions (UPCs) of ions allow us to study photonuclear and two-photon interactions at energies above those available at fixed target accelerators. For heavy ions, the couplings are large enough so that multi-photon…
