Few-body resonances in light nuclei
Attila Csoto
We have localized several few-body resonances in light nuclei, using methods which can properly handle two- or three-body resonant states. Among other results, we predict the exist…
At the edge of nuclear stability: nonlinear quantum amplifiers
Attila Csoto, Heinz Oberhummer, Helmut Schlattl
We show that nuclei lying at the edge of stability can behave as nonlinear quantum amplifiers. A tiny change in the nucleon-nucleon interaction can trigger a much bigger change in…
At the edge of nuclear stability: nonlinear quantum amplifiers
Attila Csoto
We show that nuclear states lying at the edge of stability may show enormously enhanced response to small perturbations. For example, a 0.1% change in the strength of the strong nu…
Bridging the mass gaps at A=5 and A=8 in nucleosynthesis
Heinz Oberhummer, Attila Csoto, Helmut Schlattl
In nucleosynthesis three possible paths are known to bridge the mass gaps at A=5 and A=8. The primary path producing the bulk of the carbon in our Universe proceeds via the triple-…
The triple-alpha process and its anthropic significance
Heinz Oberhummer, Rudolf Pichler, Attila Csoto
Through the triple-alpha process practically all of the carbon in our universe is synthesized as the ash of helium burning in red giants. The triple-alpha process proceeds trough t…
On the three-body continuum spectrum of He-6
Attila Csoto
In recent publications Cobis, Fedorov, and Jensen claim the existence of several previously unknown low-lying narrow resonances in He-6. I show that the distribution of the S-matri…
