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 proton transfer on Ar supports the presence of a charge density bubble linked to a novel nuclear structure below Ca
Daniele Brugnara, Andrea Gottardo, Marlene Assiè +76
The Ar(He,d)K reaction was performed in inverse kinematics using a radioactive Ar beam produced by the SPIRAL1 facility at GANIL and a cryogenic He t…

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…
