Implications of a Weakening N = 126 Shell Closure Away from Stability for r-Process Astrophysical Conditions
Mengke Li, Gail C. McLaughlin, Rebecca Surman
The formation of the third r-process abundance peak near A = 195 is highly sensitive to both nuclear structure far from stability and the astrophysical conditions that produce the…
Emulation of the final r-process abundance pattern with a neural network
Yukiya Saito, Iris Dillmann, Reiner Krücken +2
This work explores the construction of a fast emulator for the calculation of the final pattern of nucleosynthesis in the rapid neutron capture process (the -process). An emulat…
Thallium-208: a beacon of in situ neutron capture nucleosynthesis
Nicole Vassh, Xilu Wang, Maude Lariviere +7
We demonstrate that the well-known 2.6 MeV gamma-ray emission line from thallium-208 could serve as a real-time indicator of astrophysical heavy element production, with both rapid…
Uncertainty Quantification of Mass Models using Ensemble Bayesian Model Averaging
Yukiya Saito, Iris Dillmann, Reiner Kruecken +2
Developments in the description of the masses of atomic nuclei have led to various nuclear mass models that provide predictions for masses across the whole chart of nuclides. These…
Executive Summary of the Topical Program: Nuclear Isomers in the Era of FRIB
G. W. Misch, M. R. Mumpower, F. G. Kondev +29
We report on the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) Theory Alliance topical program "Nuclear Isomers in the Era of FRIB". We outline the many ways isomers influence and contrib…
The need for a local nuclear physics feature in the neutron-rich rare-earths to explain solar -process abundances
Nicole Vassh, Gail C. McLaughlin, Matthew R. Mumpower +1
We apply Markov Chain Monte Carlo to predict the masses required to form the observed solar -process rare-earth abundance peak. Given highly distinct astrophysical outflows and…
