Simulating quantum systems in a finite volume is a powerful theoretical tool for extracting information about them. The observation that the real-world properties of states are encoded in how their discrete energy levels change with the size of the volume gives rise to a versatile approach that is relevant not only for nuclear physics, where lattice methods are now able to calculate few- and...
Rare Isotope Beam (RIB) facilities provide a unique opportunity to investigate the structures and reactions of atomic nuclei near the drip line. Experiments have observed that some light nuclei with excess neutron or proton numbers exhibit a molecular-like structure consisting of a tightly bound core surrounded by a few loosely bound halo nucleons referred to as halo nuclei. The stability of...
We develop a formalism of nonrelativistic conformal field theory, which is then used to describe neutrons at low energies. We show that the rates of nuclear reactions with emission of a few neutrons in the final state show a power-law behavior in the kinematic region where the emitted neutrons have almost the same momentum. We show how corrections to this power-law behavior can be computed...
