Searching for neutrinoless double beta decay with GERDA

GERDA Collaboration, M. Agostini, A. M. Bakalyarov +103

The GERmanium Detector Array (GERDA) experiment located at the INFN Gran Sasso Laboratory (Italy), is looking for the neutrinoless double beta decay of Ge76, by using high-purity g…

Dawning of the N=32 shell closure seen through precision mass measurements of neutron-rich titanium isotopes

E. Leistenschneider, M. P. Reiter, S. Ayet San Andrés +42

A precision mass investigation of the neutron-rich titanium isotopes Ti was performed at TRIUMF's Ion Trap for Atomic and Nuclear science (TITAN). The range of the measur…

A laser excitation scheme for Th

Lars von der Wense, Benedict Seiferle, Simon Stellmer +4

Direct laser excitation of the lowest known nuclear excited state in Th has been a longstanding objective. It is generally assumed that reaching this goal would require a c…

Observation of top quark production in proton-nucleus collisions

CMS Collaboration

The first observation of top quark production in proton-nucleus collisions is reported using proton-lead data collected by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC at a nucleon-nucleon c…

Principal-component analysis of two-particle azimuthal correlations in PbPb and pPb collisions at CMS

CMS Collaboration

For the first time a principle-component analysis is used to separate out different orthogonal modes of the two-particle correlation matrix from heavy ion collisions. The analysis…

High-precision -value measurement of the superallowed emitter Mg and an evaluation of the isobaric triplet

M. P. Reiter, K. G. Leach, O. M. Drozdowski +22

A direct -value measurement of the superallowed emitter Mg was performed using TRIUMF's Ion Trap for Atomic and Nuclear science (TITAN). The direct ground-stat…

Effective proton-neutron interaction near the drip line from unbound states in F

M. Vandebrouck, A. Lepailleur, O. Sorlin +107

Background: Odd-odd nuclei, around doubly closed shells, have been extensively used to study proton-neutron interactions. However, the evolution of these interactions as a function…

Precision mass measurements of magnesium isotopes and implications on the validity of the Isobaric Mass Multiplet Equation

M. Brodeur, A. A. Kwiatkowski, O. M. Drozdowski +21

If the mass excess of neutron-deficient nuclei and their neutron-rich mirror partners are both known, it can be shown that deviations of the Isobaric Mass Multiplet Equation (IMME)…

Study of the long-lived excited state in the neutron deficient nuclides Po by precision mass measurement

N. A. Althubiti, D. Atanasov, K. Blaum +23

Direct mass measurements of the low-spin and high-spin states in the neutron-deficient isotopes Po, Po, and high-spin state in…

Precision mass measurements of Cd isotopes and isomers approaching the closed shell

D. Lascar, R. Klawitter, C. Babcock +24

We present the results of precision mass measurements of neutron-rich cadmium isotopes. These nuclei approach the closed neutron shell and are important to nuclear structure…

Background free search for neutrinoless double beta decay with GERDA Phase II

M. Agostini, M. Allardt, A. M. Bakalyarov +113

The Standard Model of particle physics cannot explain the dominance of matter over anti-matter in our Universe. In many model extensions this is a very natural consequence of neutr…
