Efimov States in Nuclear and Particle Physics [PDF]
Particles with resonant short-range interactions have universal properties that do not depend on the details of their structure or their interactions at short distances. In the three-body system, these properties include the existence of a geometric spectrum of three-body Efimov states and a discrete scaling symmetry, which leads to log-periodic ...

Astronuclear Physics: a Tale of the Atomic Nuclei in the Skies [PDF]
A century ago, nuclear physics entered astrophysics, giving birth to a new field of science referred to as "Nuclear Astrophysics". With time, it developed at an impressive pace into a vastly inter- and multidisciplinary discipline bringing into its wake not only astronomy and cosmology, but also many other sub-fields of physics, especially particle ...

Towards the continuum coupling in nuclear lattice effective field theory I: A three-particle model [PDF]
Weakly bound states often occur in nuclear physics. To precisely understand their properties, the coupling to the continuum should be worked out explicitely. In a first step, we use a simple nuclear model in the continuum and on a lattice to investigate the influence of a third particle on a loosely bound state of a particle and a heavy core.

Particle-particle correlations and the space-time structure of heavy ion collisions [PDF]
The present status of the use of two-particle intensity interferometry as a diagnostic tool to study the space-time dynamics of intermediate energy heavy ion collisions is examined. Calculations for the two-proton and two-pion correlation functions are presented and compared to experiment.

Perspective on Tsallis statistics for nuclear and particle physics [PDF]
This is a concise introduction to the topic of nonextensive Tsallis statistics meant especially for those interested in its relation to high-energy proton–proton, proton–nucleus and nucleus–nucleus collisions. The three types of Tsallis statistics are reviewed.

Search for Cold Dark Matter and Solar Neutrinos with GENIUS and GENIUS-TF
The new project GENIUS will cover a wide range of the parameter space of predictions of SUSY for neutralinos as cold dark matter. Further it has the potential to be a real-time detector for low-energy (pp and 7Be) solar neutrinos.

Splitting of single-particle levels in clusters potentials [PDF]
In analogy with the Nilsson model, we calculate the splitting of spherical single-particle levels in a deformed field, but for cluster potentials. We study applications to alpha-cluster nuclei with two, three and four alpha particles, in which the deformation corresponds to the relative distance between the alpha particles.

Intersections 2000: What's New in Hadron Physics
Hadron physics is that part of QCD dealing with hadron structure and vacuum structure, almost all of which is nonperturbative in nature. Some of the open problems in this field are outlined.

Model-independent WIMP Scattering Responses and Event Rates: A Mathematica Package for Experimental Analysis [PDF]
The community's reliance on simplified descriptions of WIMP-nucleus interactions reflects the absence of analysis tools that integrate general theories of dark matter with standard treatments of nuclear response functions.

Many Body Corrections to Nuclear Anapole Moment [PDF]
The many body contributions to the nuclear anapole moment of $^{133}$Cs, $^{205}$Tl, $^{207,209}$PB, and $^{209}$Bi from the core polarization are calculated in the random-phase approximation with the effective residual interaction. Strong reduction of a valence nucleon contribution was found provided by the core polarization effects.
