Probing the Size of Neutron and Proton Single-Particle Orbitals from Nucleon Knockout Reactions

M. Enciu, A. Obertelli, P. Doornenbal +83

The size of neutron and proton single-particle orbitals of Ca, Ca, Ca, and Sc were investigated via nucleon knockout reactions at 230 MeV/nucleon…

Laser spectroscopy illuminates the shell closure

Tim E. Lellinger, Liss V. Rodriguez, Patrick Muller +29

Atomic nuclei are strongly correlated quantum many-body systems, and how their shell structure evolves with increasing neutron excess remains a central open question in nuclear phy…

Two-neutrino double-weak decays of Xe and Xe from different many-body methods

C. Brase, L. Jokiniemi, E. Kauppinen +4

We calculate the nuclear matrix elements and corresponding half-lives for the two-neutrino double-electron capture of Xe and the two-neutrino double-beta decay of X…

Uncertainties with low-resolution nuclear forces

Tom Plies, Matthias Heinz, Achim Schwenk

Low-resolution nuclear Hamiltonians, obtained from chiral effective field theory (EFT) and softened using renormalization group techniques, have been very successful in nuclear str…

r-Process Nucleosynthesis With Ab Initio Nuclear Masses Around The N=82 Shell Closure

Jan Kuske, Takayuki Miyagi, Almudena Arcones +1

Our understanding of the origin of heavy elements beyond iron relies on the rapid neutron capture process (r-process), which accounts for roughly half of their cosmic abundance. Ho…

Ab initio calculations of beta-decay half-lives for neutron-rich nuclei

Zhen Li, Takayuki Miyagi, Achim Schwenk

Beta-decay rates of extreme neutron-rich nuclei remain largely unknown experimentally, while they are critical inputs for -process nucleosynthesis. We present first ab initio ca…

The nuclear charge radius of

Patrick Müller, Matthias Heinz, Phillip Imgram +6

The size is a key property of a nucleus. Accurate nuclear radii are extracted from elastic electron scattering, laser spectroscopy, and muonic atom spectroscopy. The results are no…

Connecting Relativistic Density Functional Theory to Microscopic Calculations

Brendan T. Reed, Matthias Heinz, Pierre Arthuis +2

The development of systematic effective field theories (EFTs) for nuclear forces and advances in solving the nuclear many-body problem have greatly improved our understanding of de…

Ab initio calculations of overlap integrals for conversion in nuclei

Matthias Heinz, Martin Hoferichter, Takayuki Miyagi +2

The rate for conversion in nuclei is set to provide the most stringent test of lepton-flavor symmetry and a window into physics beyond the Standard Model. However, to dise…

Gamow-Teller and double-beta decays of heavy nuclei within an effective theory

Eduardo Antonio Coello Pérez, Javier Menéndez, Achim Schwenk

We study decays within an effective theory that treats nuclei as a spherical collective core with an even number of neutrons and protons that can couple to an additional neutro…

Nuclear structure studies of F

L. Caceres, A. Lepailleur, O. Sorlin +39

The structure of the F nucleus has been studied at GANIL using the decay of O and the in-beam -ray spectroscopy from the fragmentation of projectile nuclei. Co…
