For the realization of an optical nuclear clock, the first isomeric excited state of thorium-229 (^229mTh) is currently the only candidate due to its exceptionally low-lying excitation energy ($8.338\pm 0.024$ eV). Such a nuclear clock holds promise...

The exponentially correlated Hylleraas–configuration interaction method (E-Hy-CI) is a generalization of the Hylleraas–configuration interaction method (Hy-CI) in which the single $r_{ij}$ of an Hy-CI wave function is generalized to a form of...

We investigated the enhanced production of nuclei formed via incomplete fusion (ICF) reactions near and above the Coulomb barrier energies (5–8 MeV/A). The cross-sections of the evaporation residues formed in the reactions—${}^{11}$B+${}^{124}$Sn, ${}^{10}$B+...

In this non-exhaustive review, we discuss the importance of invariant vectors in atomic physics, such as the Laplace–Runge–Lenz vector, the Redmond vector in the presence of an electric field, the Landau–Avron–Sivardièr...

We report on the simulation of temperature gradients in tamped NaFMgO target-foil plasma, heated and backlit by z-pinch dynamic hohlraum radiation. Our approach compares the spectroscopic output of a collisional-radiative model (prismspect) with soft...

The results of a study on the effect of pressure in a medium consisting of a set of gas jets separated by vacuum gaps, interacting with two-color laser fields formed by the fundamental and the second harmonics of a laser, are presented herein. It has...

It has been shown that quantum fluctuations in dipolar Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) lead to a stabilisation against collapse, thereby providing access to a range of states with different symmetries. In this paper, we discuss variational app...

We present analytic expressions for the scattering of light by an extended atomic cloud. We obtain the solution for the mean-field excitation of different atomic spherical distributions driven by a uniform laser, including the initial build up, the s...
