The origin of the terrestrial planets
Richard B. Firestone
Three major planets, Venus, Earth, and Mercury formed out of the solar nebula. A fourth planetesimal, Theia, also formed near Earth where it collided in a giant impact, rebounding…
Spin/Parity Dependent Level Density
Richard B. Firestone
It is shown that the Constant Temperature (CT) model of nuclear level density is a direct consequence of a symmetrized Poisson distribution of nuclear level spacings. The standard…
The Origin of the Giant Dipole Resonance
Richard B. Firestone
The Giant Dipole Resonance (GDR), which is conventionally described as due to collective motion, is instead shown to be the result of a sudden increase in level density at the 2hω…
Reference Database for Photon Strength Functions
S. Goriely, P. Dimitriou, M. Wiedeking +16
Photon strength functions describing the average response of the nucleus to an electromagnetic probe are key input information in the theoretical modelling of nuclear reactions. Co…
IAEA Photonuclear Data Library 2019
T. Kawano, Y. S. Cho, P. Dimitriou +24
Photo-induced reaction cross section data are of importance for a variety of current or emerging applications, such as radiation shielding design and radiation transport analyses,…
First evidence of enhanced low-energy -ray strength from thermal neutron capture data
L. Crespo Campo, R. B. Firestone, B. A. Brown +2
The -ray strength function, or average reduced -ray transition probability, is a fundamental input in the calculation of cross sections used to simulate the nucleosyn…
