Abstract High-power lasers can produce high-energy gamma rays, charged particles, and neutrons induce various types of nuclear reactions. In Extreme Light Infrastructure Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP), Romania, high-power are entering a new realm 10 PW peak power, capable obtaining focused intensity 23 Wcm –2 . Such an intense laser pulse will be used for studies relevant to physics, high-field quant...

Physical systems characterized by a shallow two-body bound or virtual state are governed at large distances continuous-scale invariance, which is broken to discrete one when three more particles come into play. This symmetry induces universal behavior for different systems, independent of the details underlying interaction, rooted in smallness ratio $\ell/a_B \ll 1$, where length $a_B$ associat...
