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…

Corrections for systematic errors in slit-profiler transverse phase space measurements

C. Richard, M. Krasilnikov, N. Aftab +8

In photo injectors, the transverse emittance is one of the key measures of beam quality as it defines the possible performance of the whole facility. As such it is important to mea…

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…

Half-life determination of heavy ions in a storage ring considering feeding and depleting background processes

R. J. Chen, G. Leckenby, R. S. Sidhu +49

Heavy-ion storage rings have relatively large momentum acceptance which allows for multiple ion species to circulate at the same time. This needs to be considered in radioactive de…

Schottky detection techniques for ultra-rare short-lived ions in heavy ion storage rings

Shahab Sanjari, Yuri A. Litvinov, George Hudson-Chang +10

Non-destructive Schottky detectors are indispensable devices widely used in experiments at heavy-ion storage rings. In particular, they can be used to accurately determine the mass…

Bound-State Beta Decay of Ions and the LOREX Project

R. S. Sidhu, G. Leckenby, R. J. Chen +55

Stable Tl ions have the lowest known energy threshold for capturing electron neutrinos () of \,keV. The Lorandite Experiment (LOREX), proposed in…
