Thallium-208: a beacon of in situ neutron capture nucleosynthesis
Nicole Vassh, Xilu Wang, Maude Lariviere +7
We demonstrate that the well-known 2.6 MeV gamma-ray emission line from thallium-208 could serve as a real-time indicator of astrophysical heavy element production, with both rapid…
Emergent nucleosynthesis from a 1.2 second long simulation of a black-hole accretion disk
T. M. Sprouse, K. A. Lund, J. M. Miller +2
We simulate a black-hole accretion disk system with full-transport general relativistic neutrino radiation magnetohydrodynamics (GRRMHD) for 1.2 seconds. This system is likely t…
Superheavy Elements in Kilonovae
Erika M. Holmbeck, Jennifer Barnes, Kelsey A. Lund +3
As LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA enters its fourth observing run, a new opportunity to search for electromagnetic counterparts of compact object mergers will also begin. The light curves and sp…
Executive Summary of the Topical Program: Nuclear Isomers in the Era of FRIB
G. W. Misch, M. R. Mumpower, F. G. Kondev +29
We report on the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) Theory Alliance topical program "Nuclear Isomers in the Era of FRIB". We outline the many ways isomers influence and contrib…
Bayesian averaging for ground state masses of atomic nuclei in a Machine Learning approach
M. R. Mumpower, M. Li, T. M. Sprouse +3
We present global predictions of the ground state mass of atomic nuclei based on a novel Machine Learning (ML) algorithm. We combine precision nuclear experimental measurements tog…
Nucleosynthesis and observation of the heaviest elements
E. M. Holmbeck, T. M. Sprouse, M. R. Mumpower
The rapid neutron capture or 'r process' of nucleosynthesis is believed to be responsible for the production of approximately half the natural abundance of heavy elements found on…
