  The Secret Life of Neutrinos

  Neutrinos are cosmic tricksters, paradoxically hardly there but lethal to stars significantly more massive than the sun.

  Nonconservation of Lepton Numbers in the Neutrino Sector Could Change the Prospects for Core Collapse Supernova Explosions

  We show that interactions violating the conservation of lepton numbers in the neutrino sector could significantly alter the standard low entropy picture for the presupernova collapsing core of a massive […]

  2νββ spectrum in chiral effective field theory

  We investigate two-neutrino double beta decay (2νββ) in chiral effective field theory. We find contributions from weak magnetism and double-weak pion-exchange at next-to-leading-order in the chiral power counting. We discuss […]

  Constraints on Nuclear Symmetry Energy Parameters

  A review is made of constraints on the nuclear symmetry energy parameters arising from nuclear binding energy measurements, theoretical chiral effective field predictions of neutron matter properties, the unitary gas […]

  Constraints on the Nuclear Symmetry Energy from Experiments, Theory and Observations

  Nuclear mass measurements and neutron matter theory tightly constrain the nuclear symmetry energy parameters J, L, Ksym and Qsym. Corroboration of these constraints on J and L can be found […]
