Effective field theory allows for a systematic and model-independent derivation of the forces
between nucleons in harmony with the symmetries of quantum chromodynamics. The …

This article provides an overview of the basic principles of the physics of quantum halo
systems, defined as bound states of clusters of particles with a radius extending well into …

Platform companies play an important role in the production and distribution of news. This
article analyses this role and questions of control, dependence and autonomy in the light of …

A new approach to the production and detection of bound neutron clusters is presented. The
technique is based on the breakup of beams of very neutron-rich nuclei and the subsequent …

A formalism to evaluate the resonant states produced by two particles moving outside a
closed shell core is presented. It is found that long lived two-body states (including bound …

The theoretical status on universal aspects of weakly-bound neutron-rich light nuclei are
reviewed, considering few-body approaches. We focus the review on the low-energy …

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 …

The past three decades have witnessed the emergence of exotic structures and dynamics in
weakly bound unstable nuclei located in the rapidly expanding nuclear chart. Examples …

The structure and decay of the most neutron-rich beryllium isotope, Be 16, has been
investigated following proton knockout from a high-energy B 17 beam. Two relatively narrow …

The universal properties and structure of halo nuclei composed of two neutrons (2 n) and a
core are investigated within an effective quantum mechanics framework. We construct an …
