A very rapidly rotating white dwarf in nova YZ Reticuli
G. J. M. Luna, N. Rawat, R. Angeloni +4
YZ Ret (Nova Reticuli 2020) is the first VY Scl-type nova-like variable observed to undergo a classical nova eruption. Following the outburst, timing analysis of 20-s cadence TESS…
Impact of Geant4's Electromagnetic Physics Constructors on Accuracy and Performance of Simulations for Rare Event Searches
H. Kluck, R. Breier, A. Fuà +3
A primary objective in contemporary low background physics is the search for rare and novel phenomena beyond the Standard Model of particle physics, e.g. the scattering off of a po…
The Impact of Helium Exposure on the PMTs of the SuperNEMO Experiment
SuperNEMO Collaboration, X. Aguerre, A. S. Barabash +76
The performance of Hamamatsu 8" photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) of the type used in the SuperNEMO neutrinoless double-beta decay experiment (R5912-MOD), is investigated as a function…
Candidate toroidal electric dipole mode in the spherical nucleus Ni
P. von Neumann-Cosel, V. O. Nesterenko, I. Brandherm +8
Dipole toroidal modes appear in many fields of physics. In nuclei, such a mode was predicted more than 50 years ago, but clear experimental evidence was lacking so far. Using a com…
