Heavy Ion Double Charge Exchange Reactions as Probes for Two-Body Transition Densities

Jessica I. Bellone, Maria Colonna, Danilo Gambacurta +1

Collisional heavy ion double charge exchange (DCE) reactions, induced by second order nucleon-nucleon interactions, are shown to provide access to the two-body transition densities…

Induced Isotensor Interactions in Heavy-Ion Double-Charge-Exchange Reactions and the Role of Initial and Final State Interactions

Horst Lenske, Jessica Bellone, Danilo Gambacurta +1

The role of initial state (ISI) and final state (FSI) ion-ion interactions in heavy-ion double-charge-exchange (DCE) reactions are studied for double s…

NURE: An ERC project to study nuclear reactions for neutrinoless double beta decay

M. Cavallaro, E. Aciksoz, L. Acosta +71

Neutrinoless double beta decay (0ν\b{eta}\b{eta}) is considered the best potential resource to determine the absolute neutrino mass scale. Moreover, if observed, it will signal tha…

Measuring nuclear reaction cross sections to extract information on neutrinoless double beta decay

M. Cavallaro, F. Cappuzzello, C. Agodi +72

Neutrinoless double beta decay (0v\b{eta}\b{eta}) is considered the best potential resource to access the absolute neutrino mass scale. Moreover, if observed, it will signal that n…

The heat capacity of the neutron star inner crust within an extended NSE model

S. Burrello, F. Gulminelli, F. Aymard +2

Superfluidity in the crust is a key ingredient for the cooling properties of proto-neutron stars. Present theoretical calculations employ the quasi-particle mean-field Hartree-Fock…

Hadron-quark phase transition in asymmetric matter with dynamical quark masses

G. Y. Shao, M. Di Toro, B. Liu +4

The two-Equation of State (EoS) model is used to describe the hadron-quark phase transition in asymmetric matter formed at high density in heavy-ion collisions. For the quark phase…
