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…
Energy spectra of light charged particles emitted following muon nuclear capture on Si
Shoichiro Kawase, Kentaro Kitafuji, Teppei Kawata +9
Background: Charged-particle emission following muon nuclear capture (muNC) probes the de-excitation dynamics of highly excited nuclei, particularly the interplay between preequili…
Neutron emission following nuclear muon capture on palladium isotopes
T. Y. Saito, M. Niikura, T. Matsuzaki +17
The energy spectra of the neutrons emitted following nuclear muon capture on palladium isotopes (, 105, 106, 108, and 110) were measured using isotopically enriched target.…
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…
