R Linares, Mandira Sinha, E N Cardozo +17
Background: The influence of halo structure of He, B, Be and Li nuclei in several mechanisms such as direct reactions and fusion is already established, altho…
Almost medium-free measurement of the Hoyle state direct-decay component with a TPC
J. Bishop, G. V. Rogachev, S. Ahn +14
Background: The structure of the Hoyle state, a highly -clustered state at 7.65 MeV in , has long been the subject of debate. Understanding if the system compri…
Evidence against the Efimov effect in from spectroscopy and astrophysics
J. Bishop, G. V. Rogachev, S. Ahn +16
Background: The Efimov effect is a universal phenomenon in physics whereby three-body systems are stabilized via the interaction of an unbound two-body sub-systems. A hypothetical…
