Direct Nuclear Reactions: https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.00433
Carlos A. Bertulani, Angela Bonaccorso
Direct nuclear reactions occur in a characteristic time of 10−22 s, the time it takes a nucleon to cross the nucleus. The short time only allows for the interaction with one or a few nucleons. Contrary to compound nucleus products, the direct reaction products are not distributed isotropically, but are focused in the forward direction. In this brief review we discuss the basic theoretical concepts used in the experimental studies of the most common cases of direct reactions such as (a) elastic scattering, (b) inelastic scattering, (c) Coulomb excitation, (d) transfer reactions and (e) breakup reactions. A recommended list of references, which will help the reader of this short and scope-limited review are [1-5].

Microscopic Theory of Nuclear Fission: https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.02716
Nicolas Schunck
Nuclear fission represents the ultimate test for microscopic theories of nuclear structure and reactions. Fission is a large-amplitude, time-dependent phenomenon taking place in a self-bound, strongly-interacting many-body system. It should, at least in principle, emerge from the complex interactions of nucleons within the nucleus. The goal of microscopic theories is to build a consistent and predictive theory of nuclear fission by using as only ingredients protons and neutrons, nuclear forces and quantum many-body methods. Thanks to a constant increase in computing power, such a goal has never seemed more within reach. This chapter gives an overview both of the set of techniques used in microscopic theory to describe the fission process and of some recent successes achieved by this class of methods.

Origin of the Chemical Elements: https://arxiv.org/abs/1011.5627
T. Rauscher, A. Patkos
This review provides the necessary background from astrophysics, nuclear, and particle physics to understand the cosmic origin of the chemical elements. It reflects the year 2009 state of the art in this extremely quickly developing interdisciplinary research direction. The discussion summarizes the nucleosynthetic processes in the course of the evolution of the Universe and the galaxies contained within, including primordial nucleosynthesis, stellar evolution, and explosive nucleosynthesis in single and binary systems.

The Condensed Matter Physics of QCD: https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0011333
Krishna Rajagopal (MIT), Frank Wilczek (MIT)
Important progress in understanding the behavior of hadronic matter at high density has been achieved recently, by adapting the techniques of condensed matter theory. At asymptotic densities, the combination of asymptotic freedom and BCS theory make a rigorous analysis possible. New phases of matter with remarkable properties are predicted. They provide a theoretical laboratory within which chiral symmetry breaking and confinement can be studied at weak coupling. They may also play a role in the description of neutron star interiors. We discuss the phase diagram of QCD as a function of temperature and density, and close with a look at possible astrophysical signatures.
