Polarized phonons carry the missing angular momentum in femtosecond demagnetization

S. R. Tauchert, M. Volkov, D. Ehberger +8

Magnetic phenomena are ubiquitous in our surroundings and indispensable for modern science and technology, but it is notoriously difficult to change the magnetic order of a materia…

Interplay between quantum shells and orientation in quasi-fission

A. Wakhle, C. Simenel, D. J. Hinde +5

The quasi-fission mechanism hinders fusion in heavy systems through breakup within zeptoseconds into two fragments with partial mass equilibration. Its dependence on the structure…

Effects of Nuclear Structure on Quasi-fission

Cédric Simenel, A. Wakhle, Benoît Avez +6

The quasi-fission mechanism hinders fusion of heavy systems because of a mass flow between the reactants, leading to a re-separation of more symmetric fragments in the exit channel…

Investigation of the role of shell structure in quasi-fission mass distributions

D. J. Hinde, R. du Rietz, R. G. Thomas +8

Systematic measurements of mass-ratio distributions for fission following collisions of Ti projectiles with even-even target nuclei from Sm to Pb have been m…

Influence of entrance-channel magicity and isospin on quasi-fission

Cédric Simenel, D. J. Hinde, R. Du Rietz +5

The role of spherical quantum shells in the competition between fusion and quasi-fission is studied for reactions forming heavy elements. Measurements of fission fragment mass dist…

Novel insights into transfer processes in the reaction 16O+208Pb at sub-barrier energies

M. Evers, C. Simenel, M. Dasgupta +4

The collision of the doubly-magic nuclei O+Pb is a benchmark in nuclear reaction studies. Our new measurements of back-scattered projectile-like fragments at sub-bar…
