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…
Level structure of light neutron-rich La isotopes beyond the N=82 shell closure
A. Navin, E. H. Wang, S. Bhattacharyya +32
The high spin excited states of Lanthanum isotopes La, above the closed shell, have been populated in fission reactions. The prompt -ray transitions were mea…
First measurement of reactor neutrino oscillations at JUNO
Angel Abusleme, Thomas Adam, Kai Adamowicz +1131
Neutrino oscillations, a quantum effect manifesting at macroscopic scales, are governed by lepton flavor mixing angles and neutrino mass-squared differences that are fundamental pa…
Initial performance results of the JUNO detector
Angel Abusleme, Thomas Adam, Kai Adamowicz +1131
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) started physics data taking on 26 August 2025. JUNO consists of a 20-kton liquid scintillator central detector, surrounded by a…
Recent progress in configuration-interaction shell model
Menglan Liu, Cenxi Yuan
Since Mayer and Jensen employed the single-particle shell model to interpret the magic numbers, various microscopic nuclear models have been developed to study the nuclear force an…
