Beyond Sphericity in a Semi-Magic Nucleus: Multiple-Shape Coexistence in Sn

Marco Siciliano, Marco Rocchini, Tomás R. Rodríguez +43

The study of nuclear shape evolution and coexistence provides key insight into the nuclear interaction, particularly in semi-magic systems expected to be spherical. A high-precisio…

Direct transfer to K as a survey of the interaction

C. J. Paxman, A. Matta, W. N. Catford +76

The collapse of the canonical magic number in nuclei with has drawn significant interest as it relates to the emergence of an island of inversion centered on S…

Fusion of 12C+28Si at deep sub-barrier energies

A. M. Stefanini, G. Montagnoli, M. Del Fabbro +97

The existence of fusion hindrance is not well established in light heavy-ion systems. Studying slightly heavier cases allows extrapolating the trend to light systems of astrophysic…

Direct proton transfer on Ar supports the presence of a charge density bubble linked to a novel nuclear structure below Ca

Daniele Brugnara, Andrea Gottardo, Marlene Assiè +76

The Ar(He,d)K reaction was performed in inverse kinematics using a radioactive Ar beam produced by the SPIRAL1 facility at GANIL and a cryogenic He t…

The 76Cu conundrum remains unsolved

B. Olaizola, A. Illana, J. Benito +80

Near the doubly-magic nucleus \nuc{Ni}{78} (, ), there has been a decades-long debate on the existence of a long-lived isomer in \nuc{Cu}{76}. A recent mass measurement…

Probing exotic cross-shell interactions at N=28 with single-neutron transfer on 47K

C. J. Paxman, A. Matta, W. N. Catford +76

We present the first measurement of the K()K transfer reaction, performed in inverse kinematics using a reaccelerated beam of K. The level scheme of $^{4…

Narrow resonances in the continuum of the unbound nucleus F

V. Girard-Alcindor, A. Mercenne, I. Stefan +100

The structure of the unbound F nucleus is investigated using the inverse kinematics resonant scattering of a radioactive O beam impinging on a CH target. The anal…
