Precision masses of neutron-rich platinum and gold nuclei reveal enhanced shell strength below doubly-magic Pb
David Freire-Fernández, Rui-Jiu Chen, Usama Ahmed +63
The heaviest stable nuclei in the universe owe their existence to quantum shell structure, the grouping of protons and neutrons into discrete energy levels separated by gaps. The l…
Direct Neutron Reactions in Storage Rings Utilizing a Supercompact Cyclotron Neutron Target
Ariel Tarifeño-Saldivia, César Domingo-Pardo, Iris Dillmann +1
We propose a new approach for a high-density free-neutron target, primarily aimed at nuclear astrophysics reaction studies in inverse kinematics with radioactive ions circulating i…
Measurement of the ambient neutron flux and spectral distribution at the Canfranc Underground Laboratory
S. E. A. Orrigo, J. L. Tain, N. Mont-Geli +13
We report on the measurement of the ambient neutron flux and its energy distribution over a broad range of neutron energies, conducted in Hall A of the Canfranc Underground Laborat…
First Proton-Induced Cross Sections on a Stored Rare Ion Beam: Measurement of 118Te(p,γ) for Explosive Nucleosynthesis
F. Dellmann, J. Glorius, Yu. A. Litvinov +75
We present the first nuclear cross-section measurements of (p,γ) and (p,n) reactions on 118Te at energies relevant for the γ-process nucleosynthesis. Absolute cross-section value…
Charge Pickup Reaction Cross Section for Neutron-Rich p-Shell Isotopes at 900A MeV
J. -C. Zhang, B. -H. Sun, I. Tanihata +34
We report charge pickup reaction cross sections for 24 \textit{p}-shell isotopes, including Li, Be, B, C and N, measured…
Bayesian and Monte Carlo approaches to estimating uncertainty for the measurement of the bound-state decay of
G. Leckenby, M. Trassinelli, R. J. Chen +47
The measurement of the bound-state decay of at the Experimental Storage Ring at GSI, Darmstadt, has recently been reported with substantial impact on…
