Because the interaction is well-known, Coulomb excitation is one of the best tools for the investigation of nuclear properties. In the last 3 decades new reaction theories for Coulomb excitation have been developed such as: (a) relativistic Coulomb excitation, (b) Coulomb excitation at intermediate energies, and (c) multistep coupling in the continuum. These developments are timely with the adv...

We study inclusive ω photoproduction in nuclei and propose a measurement of the nuclear transparency ratio as a means to learn about the in-medium properties of the ω meson. To this end we are using the semi-classical coupled-channel BUU transport approach that allows for a consistent treatment of all nuclear effects. The conditions of our calculations are chosen such as to match the setup of e...

Highly radioactive materials are at the core in many useful applications ranging from operating nuclear reactors (including fast breeder reactors) to vitrified high-level waste, which is currently stored and awaiting final disposal into dedicated facilities within deep geological formations [...]
