Abstract

The Fock representation of the unscreened Coulomb interaction, a block of separable terms with analytic form factors and strengths, is included in the momentum-space Faddeev kernel of three-body bound states beside the separable nuclear terms. A bound-state kernel evaluates every pair interaction at negative pair energies, where the representation is exact and convergent, so the Coulomb force enters without a screening radius and without a limiting procedure. With this representation the $^{3}$H--$^{3}$He splitting of the CD~Bonn potential is in very good agreement with the exact Faddeev result; in the $S$-wave model space the Coulomb-distorted form factors give about half the Fock value. The Feshbach--Schur projection of the Pauli-forbidden states acts on the forbidden eigenstates of the nuclear-plus-Coulomb pair Hamiltonian, the Coulomb-dressed states obtained inside the extended separable problem, as the eigenstate condition requires. The Coulomb displacements of the cluster-model states of $^{6}$Li, $^{9}$Be and $^{12}$C and of the $^{9}$Be--$^{9}$B mirror pair are given. The eigenstate condition is tested in $^{9}$Be and $^{12}$C by replacing the Coulomb-dressed forbidden states with those of the Coulomb-subtracted interaction and with the oscillator functions of the orthogonality-condition model.

$\boldsymbol{\textit{Ab initio}}$ $nα$ scattering using the Efros method

We present the first $\textit{ab initio}$ many-body application of the Efros method for scattering utilizing the harmonic oscillator expansion of the continuum wave function. We select single-channel $nα$ scattering and, using low-lying eigenstates from no-core shell model (NCSM) calculations, we obtain well-converged scattering results that are in reasonable agreement with experiment. The results demonstrate that the Efros method is computationally practical and promising for further $\textit{ab initio}$ many-body studies of nuclear reactions.

Production Memory of the $^{225}\mathrm{Ra}$-$^{225}\mathrm{Ac}$ Clock in Neutron-Star Merger Ejecta

Radioactive nuclei in neutron-star merger ejecta carry information about both their abundance and their production history. Using the $^{225}\mathrm{Ra}$-$^{225}\mathrm{Ac}$ sequence, we establish exact conditions linking a surviving isotope partition to the time available for parent decay. An Ac fraction of 0.1 produced solely through Ra decay requires at least 2.456 days, providing a direct consistency test for proposed source states. We show that subsequent activity retains additional production memory: two histories with the same mean birth time can produce different response crossings. This distinction is captured analytically and separates mean chronology from the influence of the production-time distribution. A controlled radiation calculation then shows how deposition and photon escape transform the nuclear contrast into a common light-curve pivot for fixed ejecta properties. The results connect nuclear production chronology to late-time merger emission and provide benchmarks for nucleosynthesis and radiation-transport calculations.

The effect of the coupling between the neutron multiplicity and the fission competition on the evaporation residue cross sections of the $^{48}$Ca$+^{244}$Pu reaction

The survival probability $W_{\rm sur}$ of an excited compound nucleus against fission is a key factor determining the evaporation-residue cross section in the synthesis of superheavy nuclei. The $W_{\rm sur}$ for $^{292}$Fl formed in the $^{48}$Ca+$^{244}$Pu reaction was investigated, with particular attention to the coupling between neutron multiplicity and fission competition during the de-excitation cascade. The entrance-channel capture and fusion cross sections are obtained within the dinuclear system model, while the neutron--fission competition is treated using the Vandenbosch--Huizenga formalism with the Kramers and Strutinsky corrections and a fission barrier damped with temperature and angular momentum. The survival probability is calculated using two treatments of the evaporation--fission cascade. In the conventional factorized approach, the realization probability of a given $xn$ channel is treated independently of the neutron--fission competition, with the branching ratios evaluated along a mean excitation-energy trajectory. In the coupled approach, the full excitation-energy population is propagated through the cascade, so that neutron multiplicity and competition with fission are determined simultaneously at the energy actually reached by each nucleus. The comparison shows that the factorized treatment underestimates the $3n$ survival probability by factors of 17 and 24 at $E^*=39$ and 47 MeV, respectively, while its effect on the $4n$ channel is considerably smaller. The resulting $3n$ and $4n$ evaporation-residue excitation functions reproduce eight of the fourteen measured cross sections within a factor of two. A comparison of two prescriptions for the cold fission barrier further shows that differences of less than 1 MeV can change $W_{\rm sur}$ by more than an order of magnitude.
