The 115 GeV signal from nuclear physics
According standard models of nuclei, steepest variations of binding energy at the drip lines should happen for nuclear masses of 45, 68, 92, 115, 175 and 246 GeV. We explore the coincidence of these masses with another ones from well known HEP rese...
Detection of proton tracks with LiF Fluorescent Nuclear Track Detectors
Fluorescent nuclear track detectors based on LiF crystals were successfully applied for detection of proton induced tracks. Irradiations were performed with protons with energy ranging from 1 MeV up to about 56 MeV and for all proton energies the flu...

Nuclear p_t broadening at HERMES
The first direct measurement of p_t-broadening effects in cold nuclear matter has been studied as a function of several kinematic variables for different hadron types. The data have been accumulated by the HERMES experiment at DESY, in which the HE...
The wisdom of sages: nuclear physics education, knowledge-inquiry, and wisdom-inquiry
In this paper I address the difference between knowledge-inquiry and wisdom-inquiry (concepts introduced by N. Maxwell) in nuclear physics education, specifically in senior-level textbooks for first-degree physics students. Following on from an earli...
$J/ψ$ production in Au+Au collisions at RHIC and the nuclear absorption
It is shown that a QCD based nuclear absorption model, with few parameters fixed to reproduce experimental $J/ψ$ yield in 200 GeV pp/pA and 450 GeV pA collisions can explain the preliminary PHENIX data on the centrality dependence of $J/ψ$ suppre...
Causal Diffusion and the Survival of Charge Fluctuations in Nuclear Collisions
Diffusion may obliterate fluctuation signals of the QCD phase transition in nuclear collisions at SPS and RHIC energies. We propose a hyperbolic diffusion equation to study the dissipation of net charge fluctuations. This equation is needed in a re...
Energy Acceptance of the St. George Recoil Separator
Radiative alpha-capture, ($α,γ$), reactions play a critical role in nucleosynthesis and nuclear energy generation in a variety of astrophysical environments. The St. George recoil separator at the University of Notre Dame's Nuclear Science Laborato...

Improved predictions of nuclear reaction rates with the TALYS reaction code for astrophysi…
Nuclear reaction rates of astrophysical applications are traditionally determined on the basis of Hauser-Feshbach reaction codes. These codes adopt a number of approximations that have never been tested, such as a simplified width fluctuation corre...

Enabling pulse shape discrimination with commercial ASICs
Fast electronic readout for high-channel density scintillator-based systems is needed for radiation tracking and imaging in a wide range of applications, including nuclear physics, nuclear security and nonproliferation. Programmable electronics, like...
Near-zero-field nuclear magnetic resonance
We investigate nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in near-zero-field, where the Zeeman interaction can be treated as a perturbation to the electron mediated scalar interaction (J-coupling). This is in stark contrast to the high field case, where hetero...
