Effects of a new triple-alpha reaction rate on the ignition of carbon-oxygen white dwarfs accreting helium in a binary systems have been investigated. The ignition points determine the properties of a thermonuclear explosion of a Type Ia…
A scheme of generating recently introduced fan-states | \alpha, 2k>_F (\alpha is complex, k=1,2,3,...) is proposed basing on a \Lambda-type atom-cavity field interaction. We show that with suitable atomic preparations and measurements a…
A model for the Universe is proposed where it is considered as a mixture of scalar and matter fields. The particle production is due to an irreversible transfer of energy from the gravitational field to the matter field and represented by a…
We present the results of an observational study of the efficiency of deep mixing in globular cluster red giants as a function of stellar metallicity. We determine [C/Fe] abundances based on low-resolution spectra taken with the Kast…
In this paper we investigate the production of charmonium states in two and three photon fusion processes in nucleus -- nucleus collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies. Our results indicate that the experimental study of…
Local $\alpha \alpha$ potentials fail to describe $^{12}$C as a $3\alpha$ system. Nonlocal $\alpha \alpha$ potentials that renormalize the energy-dependent kernel of the resonating group method allow interpreting simultaneously the ground…
The triple alpha reaction is a key to $^{12}$C production and is expected to occur in weakly-coupled, thermal plasmas as encountered in normal stars. We investigate how Coulomb screening affects the structure of a system of three alpha…
Helium burning plays a key role in the hierarchy of stellar nucleosynthesis and evolution, as the archetype of a bosonic 3-body system. Here, we examine the kinetic and nuclear aspects of the 3$\alpha$ reaction, under the auspices of the…
We investigate the existence of weakly coupled gas-like states comprised of three $\alpha$ particles around an $^{16}$O core in $^{28}$Si. We calculate the excited states in $^{28}$Si using the multi-configuration mixing method based on the…
Triple-$\alpha$ reaction rates have been determined well with the sequential process via the narrow resonances. However, the direct triple-$\alpha$ process at off-resonant energies still remains in unsolved problems. In the present report,…
We review the observational evidence for extra mixing in stars on the red giant branch (RGB) and discuss why thermohaline mixing is a strong candidate mechanism. We recall the simple phenomenological description of thermohaline mixing, and…
The triple-$\alpha$ reaction from the ternary continuum states at off-resonant energies, $\alpha+\alpha+\alpha\rightarrow^{12}$C, remains an open question. This direct process is scrutinized using a non-adiabatic Faddeev hyperspherical…
The 2$\alpha+t$ cluster structure in $^{11}$B is investigated by the microscopic generator coordinate method (GCM) with the Brink cluster wave functions. With a proper choice of the parameters of the effective interaction, the calculated…
Spectroscopic observations of metal-poor stars have indicated possible 6Li abundances that are much larger than the primordial abundance predicted in the standard big bang nucleosynthesis model. Possible mechanisms of 6Li production in…
We have studied the sensitivity of s-process nucleosynthesis in massive stars to +/- 2 sigma variations in the rates of the triple alpha and 12C(a,g)16O reactions. We simulated the evolution of massive stars from H-burning through Fe-core…
The formation of alpha-clusters in nuclei close to the decay thresholds is discussed. These states can be considered to be boson-condensates, which are formed in a second order phase transition in a mixture of nucleons and alpha-particles.…
It is now widely accepted that globular cluster red giant branch stars owe their strange abundance patterns to a combination of pollution from progenitor stars and in situ extra mixing. In this hybrid theory a first generation of stars…
The nuclear equation of state is explored with the constrained HFB approach for self conjugate nuclei. It is found that beyond a certain low, more or less universal density, those nuclei spontaneously cluster into A/4 alpha particles with A…
We investigate high-harmonic generation in closed systems, using the two-level atom as a simplified model. By means of a windowed Fourier transform of the time-dependent dipole acceleration, we extract the main contributions to this process…
Production of $\alpha$-particle triples in the Hoyle state (HS) in dissociation of ${}^{12}$C nuclei at 3.65 and 0.42 $A$ GeV in nuclear track emulsion is revealed by the invariant mass approach. Contribution of the HS to the dissociation…
