Top: protons striking a nucleus deflect from their original path depending on velocity, location of impact, and force from the protons inside the nucleus. Bottom: elastic proton scattering cross ...

Strongly interacting systems play an important role in quantum physics and quantum chemistry. Stochastic methods such as Monte Carlo simulations are a proven method for investigating such systems.

The J π =19/2-isomer in 53 Fe represents an extraordinary nuclear phenomenon which can directly decay to the ground state with a single photon with angular momentum of 6ℏ emitting. This E6 transition ...
