First observation of multi-phonon -vibrations in an odd-odd nuclear system

E. H. Wang, M. Abushawish, J. H. Hamilton +27

The identification of the first multi-phonon -vibrational bands in an odd-odd neutron-rich nucleus of the nuclear chart is presented. These high spin structures of hard to acce…

Direct transfer to K as a survey of the interaction

C. J. Paxman, A. Matta, W. N. Catford +76

The collapse of the canonical magic number in nuclei with has drawn significant interest as it relates to the emergence of an island of inversion centered on S…

Shape evolution in neutron-rich odd-even Nb isotopes

M. Abushawish, E. H. Wang, J. Dudouet +15

Neutron-rich nuclei around exhibit multiple shape transitions. This region shows one of the sharpest transitions in the nuclear chart, from a spherical vibrator at

Fusion of 12C+28Si at deep sub-barrier energies

A. M. Stefanini, G. Montagnoli, M. Del Fabbro +97

The existence of fusion hindrance is not well established in light heavy-ion systems. Studying slightly heavier cases allows extrapolating the trend to light systems of astrophysic…

Direct proton transfer on Ar supports the presence of a charge density bubble linked to a novel nuclear structure below Ca

Daniele Brugnara, Andrea Gottardo, Marlene Assiè +76

The Ar(He,d)K reaction was performed in inverse kinematics using a radioactive Ar beam produced by the SPIRAL1 facility at GANIL and a cryogenic He t…

Probing exotic cross-shell interactions at N=28 with single-neutron transfer on 47K

C. J. Paxman, A. Matta, W. N. Catford +76

We present the first measurement of the K()K transfer reaction, performed in inverse kinematics using a reaccelerated beam of K. The level scheme of $^{…
