Neutrino-pair bremsstrahlung from nucleon- versus nucleon-nucleon scattering

Rishi Sharma, Sonia Bacca, Achim Schwenk

We study the impact of the nucleon- P-wave resonances on neutrino-pair bremsstrahlung. Because of the non-central spin-orbit interaction, these resonances lead to an enhanced co…

Dynamic versus static fission paths with realistic interactions

Samuel A. Giuliani, Luis M. Robledo, R. Rodriguez-Guzman

The properties of dynamic (least action) fission paths are analyzed and compared to the ones of the more traditional static (least energy) paths. Both the BCPM and Gogny D1M energy…
