Future directions in nuclear decay at FRIB and beyond

Garrett B. King, Ayala Glick-Magid, Grigor Sargsyan +38

Motivated by the opportunities presented for studies relevant to nuclear structure, astrophysics, and fundamental symmetries with nuclear decay, the Facility for Rare Isotope B…

Spectroscopy of Be from the Be() reaction measured in inverse kinematics by the AT-TPC in SOLARIS

M. Z. Serikow, D. Bazin, M. A. Caprio +21

The spectroscopy of Be is explored using the BeBe transfer reaction performed in inverse kinematics at $9.6\,\MeV/u$ using the Active Target Time Projec…

Symplectic no-core configuration interaction framework for nuclear structure

Anna E. McCoy, Mark A. Caprio, Patrick J. Fasano +1

We present the symplectic no-core configuration interaction (SpNCCI) framework, in which the nuclear many-body problem is solved a symmetry-adapted basis that explicitly encodes ap…

Deformation-driven intruder states in light island-of-inversion nuclei

Calvin W. Johnson, Mark A. Caprio, Shwetha L. Vittal

Islands of inversion occur when the nuclear ground state is dominated by intruder configurations, specifically particle-hole excitations across shell gaps, rather than by the naive…

Symmetry and shape coexistence in 10Be

M. A. Caprio, A. E. McCoy, P. J. Fasano +1

Within the low-lying spectrum of 10Be, multiple rotational bands are found, with strikingly different moments of inertia. A proposed interpretation has been that these bands variou…

Analytic descriptions for transitional nuclei near the critical point

M. A. Caprio, F. Iachello

Exact solutions of the Bohr Hamiltonian with a five-dimensional square well potential, in isolation or coupled to a fermion by the five-dimensional spin-orbit interaction, are cons…
