Modern Nuclear Force Predictions for the α Particle

Modern NN force predictions for the total nd cross section up to 300 MeV

For several modern nucleon-nucleon potentials state-of-the-art Faddeev calculations are carried out for the nd total cross section between 10 and 300 MeV projectile energy and compared to new high precision measurements. The agreement between theory and data is rather good, with an exception at higher energies where a 10% discrepancy builds up. In addition the convergence of the multiple scatte...

Grand Canonical Model Predictions For Nuclear Fragmentation

A very simple but very popular model for nuclear multifragmentation is this: the nucleus is heated up and breaks up into many pieces (composites and new produced particles if the energy is sufficient) strictly according to phase space. This occurs in an expanded volume, about three or four times the normal volume. Population strictly according to phase-space implies chemical and thermal equilib...

Universal predictions for statistical nuclear correlations.

We explore the behavior of collective nuclear excitations under a multi-parameter deformation of the Hamiltonian. The Hamiltonian matrix elements have the form P (|Hij |) ∝ 1/ √ |Hij | exp(−|Hij|/V ), with a parametric correlation of the type log〈H(x)H(y)〉 ∝ −|x − y|. The studies are done in both the regular and chaotic regimes of the Hamiltonian. Model independent predictions for a wide variet...

Modern nuclear imaging for paragangliomas: beyond SPECT.

Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors that may arise anywhere along the paraganglial system, with a high frequency of hereditary forms or multifocal disease. Most often, paragangliomas are benign and progress slowly, but metastases may occur in about 10% of patients. In this respect, nuclear imaging in combination with anatomic imaging may be required to fully delineate the extent of th...
