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…

Johan Messchendorp, Mohammad Al-Turany, Volker Friese +10
This Conceptual Design Report (CDR) presents the plans of the computing infrastructure for research at FAIR, Darmstadt, Germany. It presents the computing requirements of the vario…
Software Defined Radio for on-line interaction with beam processes in the heavy ion storage ring ESR
M. S. Sanjari, Yu. A. Litvinov, S. Litvinov +19
The application of software defined radio in on-line interaction with the beam processes of the heavy ion storage ring is presented. It is discussed how this new technique can enha…
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…
High-temperature Tl decay clarifies Pb dating in early Solar System
G. Leckenby, R. S. Sidhu, R. J. Chen +56
Radioactive nuclei with lifetimes on the order of millions of years can reveal the formation history of the Sun and active nucleosynthesis occurring at the time and place of its bi…
