This work presents evidence for statistically significant oscillations in neutron-capture cross sections within the resolved-resonance region, challenging the conventional assumption that fluctuations are entirely random as predicted by random matrix theory (RMT). Using autocorrelation and cosine-fitting techniques, neutron-capture data for 21 nuclides were analyzed over a broad range of...

The synthesis of heavy elements in explosive stellar environments, such as core-collapse supernovae, is influenced by key nuclear reactions involving unstable nuclei. In neutron-rich conditions, the α-process -a sequence of (α,xn) reactions- plays a significant part in nucleosynthesis, whereas (p,n) reactions influence element formation in proton-rich conditions, during explosive silicon...

The light nuclei attract the interest of the nuclear physics community for decades, however, we are still far away from their complete understanding. A notable example is the $^4$He, a simple and very stable nucleus constituted by two protons and two neutrons. Until a description of nuclei directly from the fundamental theory of quarks and gluons becomes computationally feasible, an effective...

Neutron-induced reactions in which at least one of the reaction products is a light charged particle are of prime importance in a variety of fields: fundamental research, medical physics, nuclear applications, i.e., fusion reactors. In fusion reactors, special efforts are ongoing to determine threshold reactions of structural materials. These materials are exposed to extreme irradiation...
