Alpha decay law of excited nuclei and its role in stellar decay rates
D. F. Rojas-Gamboa, N. G. Kelkar, O. L. Caballero
decay is one of the prominent decay modes in the nucleosynthesis of heavy and super-heavy elements synthesized at temperatures of the order of Giga Kelvin. To facilitate the in…
Temperature dependence of cluster decay
D. F. Rojas-Gamboa, N. G. Kelkar, O. L. Caballero
A universal decay law (UDL) for light cluster decay of excited nuclei is formulated by fitting the UDL half-lives to those evaluated within an excitation energy-dependent double fo…
Neutrino-nucleon scattering in supernova matter from the virial expansion
C. J. Horowitz, O. L. Caballero, Zidu Lin +2
We generalize our virial approach to study the neutral current neutrino response of nuclear matter at low densities. In the long-wavelength limit, the virial expansion makes model-…
Neutrino emission, Equation of State and the role of strong gravity
O. L. Caballero
Neutron-star mergers are interesting for several reasons: they are proposed as the progenitors of short gamma-ray bursts, they have been speculated to be a site for the synthesis o…
The black hole spin influence on accretion disk neutrino detection
O. L. Caballero, T. Zielinski, G. C. McLaughlin +1
Neutrinos are copiously emitted from black hole accretion disks playing a fundamental role in their evolution, as well as in the production of gamma ray bursts and r-process nucleo…
Neutrinos and the synthesis of heavy elements: the role of gravity
O. L. Caballero, R. Surman, G. C. McLaughlin
The synthesis of heavy elements in the Universe presents several challenges. From one side the astrophysical site is still undetermined and on other hand the input from nuclear phy…
Local and global effects of beta decays on r-process
O. L. Caballero, A. Arcones, I. N. Borzov +2
Nuclear beta decay rates are an essential ingredient in simulations of the astrophysical r-process. Most of these rates still rely on theoretical modeling. However, modern radioact…
