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…

First simultaneous measurement of the gamma-ray and neutron emission probabilities in inverse kinematics at a heavy-ion storage ring
M. Sguazzin, B. Jurado, J. Pibernat +50
The probabilities for gamma-ray and particle emission as a function of the excitation energy of a decaying nucleus are valuable observables for constraining the ingredients of the…

First measurement of the neutron-emission probability with a surrogate reaction in inverse kinematics at a heavy-ion storage ring
M. Sguazzin, B. Jurado, J. Pibernat +50
Neutron-induced reaction cross sections of short-lived nuclei are imperative to understand the origin of heavy elements in stellar nucleosynthesis and for societal applications, bu…
