A recent rejuvenation of experimental and theoretical interest in the physics of few-body
systems has provided deep, fundamental insights into a broad range of problems. Few-body …

The different facets of the R-matrix method are presented pedagogically in a general
framework. Two variants have been developed over the years:(i) The'calculable'R-matrix …

We consider the semiclassical rigid-body quantization of Skyrmion solutions of mass
numbers B= 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12. We determine the allowed quantum states for each …

Background: Recent measurements indicate that the previously established upper limit for
the γ-decay branch of the 3 1− resonance in C 12 at E x= 9.641 (5) MeV may be incorrect. As …

The β decays of N 12 and B 12 have been studied at KVI and JYFL to resolve the
composition of the broad and interfering 0+ and 2+ strengths in the triple-α continuum. For …

Background: The triple-α reaction is the key to our understanding about the nucleosynthesis
and the observed abundance of 12 C in stars. The theory of this process is well established …

A new three-body method is used to compute the rate of the triple-alpha capture reaction,
which is the primary source of C 12 in stars. In this Letter, we combine the Faddeev …

We assume an environment of neutrons and α-particles of given density and temperature
where nuclear syntheses into 6 He, 9 Be and 12 C are possible. We investigate the resulting …

Starting from a set of different two-and three-nucleon interactions from chiral effective field
theory, we use the importance-truncated no-core shell model for ab initio calculations of …

We solve the persistent problem of the structure of the lowest 1/2+ resonance in 9Be which
is important to bridge the A= 8 gap in nucleosynthesis in stars. We show that the state is a …
