Context: Mutual neutralization between cations and anions play an important role in determining the charge-balance in certain astrophysical environments. However, empirical data for such reactions involving complex molecular species has…

We have incorporated our experimentally derived thermal rate coefficients for C + H$_3^+$ forming CH$^+$ and CH$_2^+$ into a commonly used astrochemical model. We find that the Arrhenius-Kooij equation typically used in chemical models does…

The production of low mass e+e- pairs for m_{e+e-} < 300 MeV/c^2 and 1 < p_T <5 GeV/c is measured in p+p and Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=200 GeV. Enhanced yield above hadronic sources is observed. Treating the excess as internal…

A theoretical rate constant for the associative detachment reaction Rb($^{2}S$)$+$OH$^{-}$($^{1}\Sigma^{+}$)$\rightarrow \,$ RbOH($^{1}\Sigma^{+}$)$+\,e^{-}$ of 4$\,\times$10$^{-10}$cm$^{3}$s$^{-1}$ at 300 K has been calculated. This result…

Rate coefficients have been measured for the reaction of CH radicals with formaldehyde, CH$_{2}$O, over the temperature range 31 - 133 K using a pulsed Laval nozzle apparatus combined with pulsed laser photolysis and laser induced…

We study $K^-/K^+$ ratios as a function of centrality (participant nucleon number), transverse mass ($m_t$), and rapidity, in heavy-ion collisions at beam energies between 1A and 2A GeV. We use the relativistic transport model that includes…

A new database of collisional rate coefficients for transitions between the rotational states of H$_2$O collided with H$_2$ background gas is developed. The goal is to expand over the other existing databases in terms of the rotational…

Roaming reactions involving a neutral fragment of a molecule that transiently wanders around another fragment before forming a new bond are intriguing and peculiar pathways for molecular rearrangement. Such reactions can occur for example…

The Hanbury Brown--Twiss (HBT) effect in two-particle correlations is a fundamental wave phenomenon that occurs at the sensitive elements of detectors; it is one of the few processes in elementary particle detection that depends on the wave…

Quantum scattering calculations are reported for the H+HCl(v,j=0) and H+DCl(v,j=0) collisions for vibrational levels v=0-2 of the diatoms. Calculations were performed for incident kinetic energies in the range 10-7 to 10-1 eV, for total…

It is commonly believed that it is unfavourable for adsorbed H atoms on carbonaceous surfaces to form H$_2$ without the help of incident H atoms. Using ring-polymer instanton theory to describe multidimensional tunnelling effects, combined…

A dilute system of reacting particles transported by fluid flows is considered. The particles react as $A + A \to \varnothing$ with a given rate when they are within a finite radius of interaction. The system is described in terms of the…

Muon capture on nuclei is one of the most promising probes of the nuclear electroweak current driving the yet-hypothetical neutrinoless double-beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay. Both processes involve vector and axial-vector currents at finite…

The scaling of reaction yields in light ion fusion to low reaction energies is important for our understanding of stellar fuel chains and the development of future energy technologies. Experiments become progressively more challenging at…

The astrophysical $^{3}{\rm He}(\alpha, \gamma)^{7}{\rm Be}$ and $^{3}{\rm H}(\alpha, \gamma)^{7}{\rm Li}$ direct capture processes are studied in the framework of the two-body model with the potentials of a simple Gaussian form, which…

The reaction rates of the beta processes for all particles at arbitrary degeneracy are derived, and an {\it analytic} steady state equilibrium condition $\mu_n=\mu_p+2\mu_e$ which results from the equality of electron and positron capture…

The effects of the final state interaction phenomenon known as colour reconnection are investigated at centre-of-mass energies in the range sqrt(s) ~ 189-209 GeV using the OPAL detector at LEP. Colour reconnection is expected to affect…

Using a relativistic transport (ART) model, we study the stopping power, the formation of superdense hadronic matter as well as the strength of transverse and radial flow in central Au+Au collisions at beam momentum from 2 to 12 GeV/c per…

Reactive and elastic cross-sections, and rate coefficients, have been calculated for the S(1D)+ D2 (v=0, j=0) reaction using a modified hyperspherical quantum reactive scattering method. The considered collision energy ranges from the…

OH is a cornerstone molecule in the chemistry of interstellar and circumstellar media and is ubiquitously detected in warm gas thanks to its infrared rotational lines. However, the excitation processes of OH remain poorly characterized. We…
