TL;DR: The available data on nuclear fusion cross sections important to energy generation in the Sun and other hydrogen-burning stars and to solar neutrino production are summarized and critically evaluated in this article.

TL;DR: In this paper, a study of the processes generated by the electromagnetic interaction in relativistic nuclear, and atomic collisions is presented, where it is shown that this process can be used to study nuclear structure properties which are not accessible by means of the traditional electromagnetic excitation at nonrelativistic energies.

TL;DR: In the ultra-peripheral collisions (UPC) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) as discussed by the authors, the photon-ion and photon-photon collisions are not possible at large impact parameters.

TL;DR: The extracted E1 polarizability leads to a neutron skin thickness close to that of a neutron star, thereby constraining the symmetry energy and its density dependence relevant to the description of neutron stars.

TL;DR: In this article, the photodisintegration by means of the virtual photons provided by a nuclear Coulomb field is considered, which is related to the inverse process of the radiative capture process by the detailed balance theorem.
