Cover Story: Double charge exchange (DCE) reactions could provide experimentally driven information about nuclear matrix elements of interest for neutrinoless double-β decay. A key ingredient is detailed description of the reaction mechanism. Among these, we study the 20Ne+130Te and 18O+116Sn systems at 15.3 AMeV, connected with the 130Te→130Xe and 116Cd→116Sn double-β decays. We measure the elastic and inelastic scattering cross-sections and compare them with theoretical calculations performed within different approaches using the São Paulo double-folding optical potential. A good description of the experimental data in the whole explored range of transferred momenta is obtained within the coupled-channel approach, and the ISIs are successfully determined.

The “Emerging” Reality from “Hidden” Spaces

  • Richard Pincak,
  • Alexander Pigazzini,
  • Saeid Jafari and
  • Cenap Ozel

The main purpose of this paper is to show and introduce some new interpretative aspects of the concept of “emergent space” as geometric/topological approach in the cosmological field. We will present some possible applications of this theory, among w...

  • Massimo Turatto and
  • Angela Gardini

The origin and phenomenology of the Fast Radio Burst (FRB) remains unknown despite more than a decade of efforts. Though several models have been proposed to explain the observed data, none is able to explain alone the variety of events so far record...

Casimir Effect for Fermion Condensate in Conical Rings

  • Aram Saharian,
  • Tigran Petrosyan and
  • Arshak Hovhannisyan

The fermion condensate (FC) is investigated for a (2+1)-dimensional massive fermionic field confined on a truncated cone with an arbitrary planar angle deficit and threaded by a magnetic flux. Different combinations of the boundary conditions are imp...

Nuclear equation of state is often described in the framework of energy density functional. However, the isovector channel in most functionals has been poorly constrained, mainly due to rather limited available experimental data to probe it. Only rec...

We consider the low-temperature expansion of the Casimir-Polder free energy for an atom and graphene by using the Poisson representation of the free energy. We extend our previous analysis on the different relations between chemical potential μ and m...

A generally covariant U(1)3 gauge theory describing the GN→0 limit of Euclidean general relativity is an interesting test laboratory for general relativity, specially because the algebra of the Hamiltonian and diffeomorphism constraints of this limit...

Role of Electronic Relaxation Rates in the Casimir Force between High-Tc Superconductors

  • Shunashi G. Castillo-López,
  • Carlos Villarreal,
  • Giuseppe Pirruccio and
  • Raúl Esquivel-Sirvent

We revisit the problem of the Casimir force between high-Tc superconductors below and above the critical temperature for the superconducting transition. Ceramic superconductors exhibit a different temperature dependence of the reflectivity when switc...
