The reaction dynamics induced by light weakly-bound nuclei at energies around the Coulomb barrier has been a puzzle for many years. Compared to reactions induced by stable well-bound nuclei, these projectiles trigger a larger variety of nuclear processes while approaching a target nucleus. Being very weakly-bound, they can more easily breakup in the target Coulomb and nuclear field. At the...

Approximately half of our solar system's elements are believed to have been synthesized through the rapid neutron-capture process (r-process), which occurs when a competition between neutron-capture reactions and β-decay takes place in extremely neutron-rich nuclei. Recent multi-messenger observations combining gravitational-wave and electromagnetic signals have provided compelling evidence...

Light nuclei may exhibit clustering behavior, with nucleon correlations giving rise to distinct groupings of protons and neutrons typically forming α particles. In some instances, these clusters assemble into molecular-like structures, bounded by valence nucleons that are shared between the clusters analogously to electrons in an atomic covalent bond. Linear-chain configurations of α particles...
