Laser spectroscopy illuminates the shell closure
Tim E. Lellinger, Liss V. Rodriguez, Patrick Muller +29
Atomic nuclei are strongly correlated quantum many-body systems, and how their shell structure evolves with increasing neutron excess remains a central open question in nuclear phy…

Pinning down electron correlations in RaF via spectroscopy of excited states and high-accuracy relativistic quantum chemistry
M. Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis, S. G. Wilkins, L. V. Skripnikov +53
We report the spectroscopy of the 14 lowest excited electronic states in the radioactive molecule radium monofluoride (RaF). The observed excitation energies are compared with full…

Electromagnetic Properties of Indium Isotopes Elucidate the Doubly Magic Character of Sn
J. Karthein, C. M. Ricketts, R. F. Garcia Ruiz +24
Our understanding of nuclear properties in the vicinity of Sn, suggested to be the heaviest doubly magic nucleus with equal numbers of protons (Z=50) and neutrons (N=50), h…
