Atomic nuclei are quantum many-body systems of protons and neutrons held together by
strong nuclear forces. Under the proper conditions, nuclei can break into two (sometimes …

Nuclear reaction cross sections are important for a variety of applications in the areas of
astrophysics, nuclear energy, and national security. When these cross sections cannot be …
