Electroweak properties of light nuclei not only shed light on the rich interplay between the electroweak and strong nuclear interactions but also help us provide constraints on astrophysical phenomena such as stellar/big-bang nucleosynthesis and on tests of fundamental symmetries. In this talk, I discuss recent progress in progress in chiral-effective-field-theory studies of electroweak...
The importance of the Higgs boson in the evolution of the Universe is well known. Yet, only a tiny fraction of the mass of the visible universe can be attributed to the Higgs mechanism alone. In fact, the overwhelming majority arises from the strong interactions of quantum chromodynamics, through a mechanism nowadays dubbed Emergent Hadronic Mass (EHM). Thus, weak and strong mass generation...
A fundamental aspect in low-energy nuclear physics is the interaction and correlation of neutrons at extreme conditions of very large neutron-to-proton asymmetry and low-density environment. Multi-neutron systems provide an exclusive way to address such correlations. Their high impact potential has led to many experimental searches for such isolated systems over the last decades.
In this talk...
