New Ground State in La Removes Two-Neutron-Separation-Energy Anomaly in Lanthanum Isotopes
S. Kimura, M. Wada, H. Haba +9
Nuclear mass is a key indicator of how the nuclear shell structure evolves. The recent mass measurement study of neutron-rich lanthanum isotopes [A. Jaries, ., Phys. Rev. Le…

Precision mass measurements around Mo rule out ZrNb cycle formation in the rapid proton-capture process at type I X-ray bursts
S. Kimura, M. Wada, C. Y. Fu +27
The rapid proton-capture (-) process is one of the primary, explosive thermonuclear burning processes that drive type I X-ray bursts. A possible termination of the -process…

Direct observation of and decay from a high-spin long-lived isomer in Ta
J. L. Chen, H. Watanabe, P. M. Walker +20
Ta (, ) is located in the neutron-rich region where a prolate-to-oblate shape transition via triaxial softness is predicted to take place. A pr…
