It is widely accepted that nuclear Gamow-Teller transitions are quenched; shell-model calculations also showed a clear anticorrelation between the Gamow-Teller strength and the transition rate of the collective quadrupole excitation from the ground s...
It is suggested that superfluid helium (condensate of 4-He atoms) may stimulate nuclear alpha-decay in a situation when an alpha-emitter moves through superfluid helium with fine-tuned velocity, so that the backward-emitted alpha-particle is at res...

We present an analysis of the $xF_3(x,Q^2)$ structure function and Gross-Llewellyn Smith(GLS) sum rule taking into account the nuclear effects and higher twist correction. This analysis is based on the results presented in "N. M. Nath et al., Indian...

a deal with Constellation Energy to reopen the long-dormant Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Plant, securing 100% of its electricity output for the next
Nov 4, 2025 · Nuclear-powered cruise missiles are not a new idea—they’re just a bad idea. While Russia’s Burevestnik missile is grabbing headlines, it does not fundamentally change Russia’s ability …

This report is the summary of the Eighth International Conference on Quarks and Nuclear Physics (QNP2018). Hadron and nuclear physics is the field to investigate high-density quantum many-body systems bound by strong interactions. It is intended to c...
until 2012, SONGS provided about 20% of the power to large portions of Southern California. The San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS), operated
In light of the recent Jefferson Laboratory (JLab) data for the nuclear $^{12}\text{C}(e,e'p)$ transparencies, calculations, obtained in a relativistic multiple scattering Glauber approximation, are discussed. The shell-separated $^{12}$C transparenc...
A suite of synthetic nuclear diagnostics has been developed to post-process radiation hydrodynamics simulations performed with the code Chimera. These provide experimental observables based on simulated capsule properties and are used to assess alter...
Collinear laser spectroscopy is one of the essential tools for nuclear-structure studies. It allows nuclear electromagnetic properties of ground and isomeric states to be extracted with high experimental precision. Radioactive-beam facilities worldwi...
Let $Φ'$ denote the strong dual of a nuclear space $Φ$ and let $C_{\infty}(Φ')$ be the collection of all continuous mappings $x:[0,\infty) \rightarrow Φ'$ equipped with the topology of local uniform convergence. In this paper we prove sufficient...
Many inverse problems in nuclear fusion and high-energy astrophysics research, such as the optimization of tokamak reactor geometries or the inference of black hole parameters from interferometric images, necessitate high-dimensional parameter scans...
We present quantitative measurements on a classic experiment proposed for the first time in 1947 to illustrate the phenomenon of a chain reaction in nuclear fission. The experiment involves a number of mousetraps loaded with solid balls. Once one tra...
In this work we show that as little as 40 kg of 60%-enriched uranium can be used to build a crude nuclear weapon with a kiloton yield. While too large to fit on a missile, such a weapon could be delivered by shipping container. This analysis is motiv...

The paper begins with a general introduction and update to Fourth Generation Nuclear Weapons (FGNW), and then addresses some particularly important military aspects on which there has been only limited public discussion so far. These aspects concer...
