Nonproportional Response of a GAGG Scintillator to Beta and Gamma Radiation over a Wide Energy Range in PIKACHU
Takumi Omori, Takashi Iida, Yosuke Suga +12
Nonproportional response of scintillation light yield for sub-MeV radiations is a well-known characteristic of inorganic scintillators. In the PIKACHU experiment, a precise underst…
Effect of the Coulomb interaction on nuclear deformation and drip lines
Kenta Hagihara, Takashi Nakatsukasa, Nobuo Hinohara
Nuclei are self-bound systems in which the strong interaction (nuclear force) plays a dominant role and the isospin is approximately a good quantum number. The isospin symmetry is…
Simulation Tool Development and Sensitivity Analysis of 160Gd Double Beta Decay Search by the PIKACHU Project
Takumi Omori, Takashi Iida, Nobuo Hinohara +11
Neutrinoless double beta decay (0v2b) has been investigated as a physical process that can provide evidence for the Majorana nature of neutrinos. The theoretical predictions of the…
Moment of inertia for pair rotation: Interplay between order parameter and shell structure
Chisato Ruike, Nobuo Hinohara, Takashi Nakatsukasa
[Background] Pair condensation in finite nuclei generates a collective motion known as pair rotation. The moment of inertia of pair rotation (P-MoI) has been used as an indicator o…
