Beta-decay Half Lives beyond Ca: A Systematic Survey of Decay Properties approaching the Neutron Dripline
W. -J. Ong, Z. Y. Xu, R. Grzywacz +83
In an experiment performed at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) using the FRIB Decay Station initiator (FDSi), 15 new half lives of isotopes near Ca were measured.…
Universal Effective Charges in the and Shells
T. H. Ogunbeku, J. M. Allmond, T. J. Gray +79
The 247-keV state in Sc, populated in the decay of Ca, is reported here as a nanosecond isomer with a half-life of 26.0(22) ns. The state is interpreted as the $1…
Mass measurements of neutron-rich nuclides using the Canadian Penning Trap to inform predictions in the -process rare-earth peak region
D. Ray, N. Vassh, B. Liu +25
Studies aiming to determine the astrophysical origins of nuclei produced by the rapid neutron capture process ( process) rely on nuclear properties as inputs for simulations. Th…
Strong evidence for 9N and the limits of existence of atomic nuclei
R. J. Charity, J. Wylie, S. M. Wang +21
The boundaries of the Chart of Nuclides contain exotic isotopes that possess extreme proton-toneutron asymmetries. Here we report on strong evidence of 9N, one of the most exotic p…
