Elastic deuteron-deuteron scattering in the channel within Nuclear Lattice Effective Field Theory

Helen Meyer, Serdar Elhatisari, Fabian Hildenbrand +1

We calculate low-energy deuteron-deuteron scattering in the spin-quintet channel using nuclear lattice effective field theory. The calculation combines chiral interaction…

Fine-tunings in radiative -particle capture on C at astrophysical energies

Ulf-G. Meißner, Bernard Ch. Metsch, Helen Meyer

We investigate the fine-tuning of radiative alpha-particle capture on carbon, , at astrophysical energies. Utilizing results from cluster effective f…

Fine-tunings in nucleosynthesis and the emergence of life: Status and perspectives

Ulf-G. Meißner, Bernard Ch. Metsch, Helen Meyer

We discuss the fine-tunings of nuclear reactions in the Big Bang and in stars and draw some conclusions on the emergence of the light elements and the life-relevant elements carbon…

Bounds on variations of the strange quark mass from Big Bang nucleosynthesis

Ulf-G. Meißner, Bernard Metsch, Helen Meyer

We analyze the effect of a variation of the strange nucleon matrix element on the abundances of the light elements produced in the Big Bang. For…

A study of the fine-structure constant dependence of radiative capture in Halo-EFT

Ulf-G. Meißner, Bernard Ch. Metsch, Helen Meyer

We study the fine-structure constant dependence of the rates of some selected radiative capture reactions within the framework of so-called Halo Effective Field Theory in order to…

The electromagnetic fine-structure constant in primordial nucleosynthesis revisited

Ulf-G. Meißner, Bernard Ch. Metsch, Helen Meyer

We study the dependence of the primordial nuclear abundances as a function of the electromagnetic fine-structure constant , keeping all other fundamental constants fixed. We upd…
