Dynamical control of nuclear isomer depletion via electron vortex beams
Yuanbin Wu, Simone Gargiulo, Fabrizio Carbone +2
Long-lived excited states of atomic nuclei can act as energy traps. These states, known as nuclear isomers, can store a large amount of energy over long periods of time, with a ver…
Quantum effects on plasma screening for thermonuclear reactions in laser-generated plasmas
David Elsing, Adriana Pálffy, Yuanbin Wu
A quantum plasma screening model based on the density matrix formalism is used to investigate theoretically the thermonuclear reactions C(, )O and H(, $n…
Exploring laser-driven neutron sources for neutron capture cascades and the production of neutron-rich isotopes
Paul Hill, Yuanbin Wu
The production of neutron-rich isotopes and the occurrence of neutron capture cascades via laser-driven (pulsed) neutron sources are investigated theoretically. The considered scen…
Mo isomer depletion via beam-based nuclear excitation by electron capture
Yuanbin Wu, Christoph H. Keitel, Adriana Pálffy
A recent nuclear physics experiment [C. J. Chiara {\it et al.}, Nature (London) {\bf 554}, 216 (2018)] reports the first direct observation of nuclear excitation by electron captur…
Neutron production from thermonuclear reactions in laser-generated plasmas
Yuanbin Wu
The production of intense neutron beams via thermonuclear reactions in laser-generated plasmas is investigated theoretically. So far, state-of-the-art neutron beams are produced vi…
Nuclear excitation by electron capture in optical-laser-generated plasmas
Jonas Gunst, Yuanbin Wu, Christoph H. Keitel +1
The process of nuclear excitation by electron capture in plasma environments generated by the interaction of ultra-strong optical lasers with solid-state samples is investigated th…
Tailoring laser-generated plasmas for efficient nuclear excitation by electron capture
Yuanbin Wu, Jonas Gunst, Christoph H. Keitel +1
The optimal parameters for nuclear excitation by electron capture in plasma environments generated by the interaction of ultra-strong optical lasers with solid matter are investiga…
Surface tension of compressed, superheavy atoms
Jorge A. Rueda, Yuan-Bin Wu, She-Sheng Xue
Based on the relativistic mean field theory and the Thomas-Fermi approximation, we study the surface properties of compressed, superheavy atoms. By compressed, superheavy atom we m…
Determination of plasma screening effects for thermonuclear reactions in laser-generated plasmas
Yuanbin Wu, Adriana Pálffy
Due to screening effects, nuclear reactions in astrophysical plasmas may behave differently than in the laboratory. The possibility to determine the magnitude of these screening ef…
Direct and secondary nuclear excitation with x-ray free-electron lasers
Jonas Gunst, Yuanbin Wu, Naveen Kumar +2
The direct and secondary nuclear excitation produced by an x-ray free electron laser when interacting with a solid-state nuclear target is investigated theoretically. When driven a…
Nonlinear Breit-Wheeler process in the collision of a photon with two plane waves
Yuan-Bin Wu, She-Sheng Xue
The nonlinear Breit-Wheeler process of electron-positron pair production off a probe photon colliding with a low-frequency and a high-frequency electromagnetic wave that propagate…
Einstein-Euler-Heisenberg Theory and charged black holes
Remo Ruffini, Yuan-Bin Wu, She-Sheng Xue
Taking into account the Euler-Heisenberg effective Lagrangian of one-loop nonperturbative quantum electrodynamics (QED) contributions, we formulate the Einstein-Euler-Heisenberg th…
Surface tension of the core-crust interface of neutron stars with global charge neutrality
Jorge A. Rueda, Remo Ruffini, Yuan-Bin Wu +1
It has been shown recently that taking into account strong, weak, electromagnetic, and gravitational interactions, and fulfilling the global charge neutrality of the system, a tran…
