“…In another challenge, the data obtained in the study of neutron resonances have led a group of physicists at Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator, headed by Dr. Paul Koehler, to question the applicability of the random matrix theory to movements of neutrons and protons in the nucleus. The data indicate that the particles in the nucleus are moving in a coordinated fashion, rather than randomly as suggested by the random matrix theory (Reich, 2010(Reich, , p. 1034. At the same time physicists also report observing quantum phenomena in macro events.…”

“…2 we perform these calculations allowing for up to 8 harmonic oscillator quanta in the relative motion; the study involves various values of oscillator frequency parameterhω, while each of the alpha particles is computed with the no-core shell model approach limited to s 4 structure, the so called N max = 0 calculations. The rotational band formed by 0 + , 2 + and 4 + emerges, and it is remarkable that this rotational band remains nearly undistorted in the full no-core shell model study of 8 Be that has no a-priori assumption about any clustering structure. In Tab.…”

“…The distribution of reduced decay widths of chaotic many body states, where significant deviations from the expected Porter-Thomas distribution were observed [8], has been discussed recently as a possible manifestation of the continuum effects, see Refs [9,10,11]. Competition between decay collectivity and other nuclear collective modes, for example the redistribution of the dipole strength, have also been proposed as another manifestation of superradiance [12,13].…”

“…[5,6,7] reported strong disagreement of neutron resonance data with GOE predictions. Some of these results have found wide attention [8,9,10,11] eroding, as they seemingly do, one of the cornerstones of the statistical theory of nuclear reactions [3,4]. After defining the GOE in Section 2 we address questions (i) and (ii) in turn.…”
