Abstract

A comprehensive study of various ground-state properties of neutron-rich and neutron-deficient Mg isotopes with $A$=20-36 is performed in the framework of the self-consistent deformed Skyrme-Hartree-Fock plus BCS method. The correlation between the skin thickness and the characteristics related with the density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy is investigated for this isotopic chain following the theoretical approach based on the coherent density fluctuation model and using the Brueckner energy-density functional. The results of the calculations show that the behavior of the nuclear charge radii and the nuclear symmetry energy in the Mg isotopic chain is closely related to the nuclear deformation. We also study, within our theoretical scheme, the emergence of an "island of inversion" at neutron-rich $^{32}$Mg nucleus, that was recently proposed from the analyses of spectroscopic measurements of $^{32}$Mg low-lying energy spectrum and the charge rms radii of all magnesium isotopes in the $sd$ shell.

Precision Hypernuclear Structure from Interaction Cross Sections

We establish interaction cross sections as a quantitative structural observable for hypernuclei. Using the hypertriton, ${}^{3}_Λ\mathrm H$, as the most stringent benchmark, microscopic three-body wave functions are combined with a finite-range coupled-channel Glauber calculation and Bayesian inversion. For ${}^{3}_Λ\mathrm{H}+{}^{12}\mathrm{C}$ at 1.5 GeV/nucleon, the interaction cross section decreases from about 1150 to 750 mb as the $Λ$ separation energy $B_Λ$ increases from 0.1 to 0.5 MeV, while propagated reaction-model uncertainties remain near 5\%. A measurement therefore supplies a direct inversion $σ_I\to r_m\to B_Λ$, constraining both the matter radius and the $Λ$ separation energy. The framework provides the missing quantitative link between proposed interaction-cross-section measurements and the spatial structure of an already formed hypernucleus. Although demonstrated for the hypertriton, the methodology is readily extendable to other weakly bound hypernuclei.

The role of the screening potential in the deuteron-deuteron thermonuclear reaction rates

The deuteron-deuteron (D-D) thermonuclear reaction rates in metallic environments, accounting for electron screening effects, are calculated using S-factor functions derived from fits to low-energy D-D reaction data. For this purpose, a fitted S-factor model based on the NACRE compilation is employed, which constrains the energy range applicable to Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) for the $^{2}\textrm{H}\left(d,p\right)^{3}\textrm{H}$ and $^{2}\textrm{H}\left(d,n\right)^{3}\textrm{He}$ reactions. The Maxwellian-averaged thermonuclear reaction rates, relevant to astrophysical plasmas at temperatures ranging from $10^{6}$ K to $10^{10}$ K (or $1.3 \times 10^{8}$ K), are presented in tabular formats. The effects of electron screening are phenomenologically analyzed, with screening energy ($U_{e}$) values of 100, 400, 750, 1000, and 1250 eV being employed for this purpose. This selection of values is grounded in theoretical and experimental studies conducted to date. Ultimately, the numerical analysis reveals that the ratio of the screened reaction rate to the unscreened reaction rate can be expressed by the numerical formula $ \exp\left(4.70 +6.50{\times10^{-6}}U_{e}/{T_{9}}\right) $ for both the $^{2}\textrm{H}\left(d,p\right)^{3}\textrm{H}$ and $^{2}\textrm{H}\left(d,n\right)^{3}\textrm{He}$ reactions.

Quantitative predictions of alpha-charmonium correlation functions in high-energy collisions

Two-body $ ^{4}\textrm{He}\left(α\right)$-charmonium $ \left(c\bar{c}\right) $ potentials in the single-folding potential (SFP) approach are built by using a first principles HAL QCD low-energy $ NJ/ψ$ and $ Nη_{c} $ interactions. The $N\textrm{-}c\bar{c}$ potentials are observed to exhibit an attractive nature across all distances, accompanied by a characteristic long-range tail. It is found that the $ α\textrm{-}J/ψ$ system appears to be loosely bound with the central binding energy in the range of 0.1-0.6 MeV, while for spin-$ 1/2 $ $α\textrm{-}η_{c}$, no bound or resonance state (with respect to the $ α\textrm{-} c\bar{c} $ threshold) was found. The $ α\textrm{-}c\bar{c} $ correlation function in high-energy collisions is examined to explore the $ N\textrm{-}c\bar{c} $ interaction. The analysis revealed that variations in spin-dependent $α\textrm{-}c\bar{c}$ interactions- spin-$3/2$ $α\textrm{-}J/ψ$, spin-$1/2$ $α\textrm{-}J/ψ$, spin-$1/2$ $α\textrm{-}η_c$, and the spin-averaged $α\textrm{-}J/ψ$--produce noticeable differences in the $α\textrm{-}c\bar{c}$ correlation function, especially when the source size is around $ 3 $ fm. It is found that different results are produced by the Lednicky-Lyuboshits formula at small source sizes. This indicates that a relatively long-range interaction exists for the $ α\textrm{-}c\bar{c} $ system. Furthermore, a comparison has been conducted between two density functions of $ ^{4}\textrm{He}$--the central depression (CD) and the simple single Gaussian (SG) density--both of which share an identical rms radius of 1.56 fm. Although the $α\textrm{-}J/ψ$ binding energies for the two models are nearly indistinguishable, their corresponding correlation functions demonstrate markedly different behaviors.
