Revisiting the Mousetraps Experiment: Not Just about Nuclear Chain Reactions

open access: yesSystems, 2022
We present here the first quantitative measurements of a classic experiment, that of the “mousetrap chain reaction”. It was proposed for the first time in 1947 to illustrate the chain reaction occurring in nuclear fission.

Direct detection of dark matter polarizability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We point out that the direct detection of dark matter via its electro-magnetic polarizability is described by two new nuclear form factors, which are controlled by the 2-nucleon nuclear density. The signature manifests a peculiar dependence on the atomic

Underground Nuclear Astrophysics: Present and future of the LUNA experiment [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2019
The evolution of celestial bodies is regulated by gravitation and thermonuclear reaction rates, while the Big Bang nucleosynthesis is the result of nuclear processes in a rapidly expanding Universe.

Detecting IoT Devices and How They Put Large Heterogeneous Networks at Security Risk

open access: yesSensors, 2019
The introduction of the Internet of Things (IoT), i.e., the interconnection of embedded devices over the Internet, has changed the world we live in from the way we measure, make calls, print information and even the way we get energy in our offices or ...

Neutron skin of 208Pb, nuclear symmetry energy, and the parity radius experiment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A precise determination of the neutron skin thickness of a heavy nucleus sets a basic constraint on the nuclear symmetry energy (the neutron skin thickness is the difference of the neutron and proton rms radii of the nucleus).

The subnuclear localization of tRNA ligase in yeast [PDF]

open access: yes, 1987
Yeast tRNA ligase is an enzyme required for tRNA splicing. A study by indirect immune fluorescence shows that this enzyme is localized in the cell nucleus. At higher resolution, studies using indirect immune electron microscopy show this nuclear location

Nuclear Astrophysics in underground laboratories: the LUNA experiment

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
One of the main ingredients of nuclear astrophysics is the knowledge of the thermonuclear reactions responsible for powering the stellar engine and for the synthesis of the chemical elements.

Nuclear-explosive-driven experiments [PDF]

open access: yesAIP Conference Proceeding Volume 78, 1982
Ultrahigh pressures are generated in the vicinity of a nuclear explosion. We have developed diagnostic techniques to obtain precise, high‐pressure equation‐of‐state data in this unique environment.
