Alpha decay chains from superheavy nuclei
C. Samanta
Magic islands for extra-stable nuclei in the midst of the sea of fission-instability were predicted to be around Z=114, 124 or, 126 with N=184, and Z=120, with N=172. Whether these…
Phase Shift Sequences for an Adding Interferometer
Peter Hyland, Brent Follin, Emory F. Bunn
Cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarimetry has the potential to provide revolutionary advances in cosmology. Future experiments to detect the very weak B mode signal in CMB pola…
Contamination cannot explain the lack of large-scale power in the cosmic microwave background radiation
Emory F. Bunn, Austin Bourdon
Several anomalies appear to be present in the large-angle cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy maps of WMAP. One of these is a lack of large-scale power. Because the data o…
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…
Nuclear Half-Lives for Alpha Radioactivity of Elements with 100 Z 130
P. Roy Chowdhury, C. Samanta, D. N. Basu
Theoretical estimates for the half lives of about 1700 isotopes of heavy elements with Z from 100 to 130 are tabulated using theoretical Q-values. The quantum mechanical tunneling…
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 ef…
