Nonlinear nanomechanical resonators approaching the quantum ground state
C. Samanta, S. L. De Bonis, C. B. Møller +9
An open question in mechanics is whether mechanical resonators can be made nonlinear with vibrations approaching the quantum ground state. This requires engineering a mechanical no…
Search for long lived heaviest nuclei beyond the valley of stability
P. Roy Chowdhury, C. Samanta, D. N. Basu
The existence of long lived superheavy nuclei (SHN) is controlled mainly by spontaneous fission and -decay processes. According to microscopic nuclear theory, spherical shell e…
Quantum tunneling in ^{277}112 and its alpha-decay chain
C. Samanta, D. N. Basu, P. Roy Chowdhury
The -decay half lives of nuclei in the decay from element are calculated in a WKB framework using DDM3Y interaction and experimental Q-values. Theoretical estimatio…
High Resolution Spectroscopic Study of Be
T. Gogami, C. Chen, D. Kawama +83
Spectroscopy of a Be hypernucleus was carried out at JLab Hall C using the reaction. A new magnetic spectrometer system (SPL+HES+HKS), specifically…
Folding model analysis of proton radioactivity of spherical proton emitters
D. N. Basu, P. Roy Chowdhury, C. Samanta
Half lives of the decays of spherical nuclei away from proton drip line by proton emissions are estimated theoretically. The quantum mechanical tunneling probability is calculated…
Gamow-Teller strengths in 24Na using the 24Mg(t,3He) reaction at 115 AMeV
M. E. Howard, R. G. T. Zegers, Sam M. Austin +16
Gamow-Teller transitions from 24Mg to 24Na were studied via the (t,3He) reaction at 115 AMeV using a secondary triton beam produced via fast fragmentation of 150 AMeV 16O ions. Com…
