Electric dipole strength in -shell nuclei from small-angle proton scattering
R. W. Fearick, O. Le Noan, H. Matsubara +3
The present work reports new total photoabsorption cross sections for the nuclei in the -shell Ne, Mg, Si, S, Ar, and for Mg. Th…
ESO Expanding Horizon White Paper: Revealing the properties of matter at supranuclear densities with gravitational waves
Tim Dietrich, Tanja Hinderer, Micaela Oertel +40
Understanding dense matter under extreme conditions is one of the most fundamental puzzles in modern physics. Complex interactions give rise to emergent, collective phenomena. Whil…
Electric dipole polarizability constraints on neutron skin and symmetry energy
P. von Neumann-Cosel, A. Tamii
We review the experimental knowledge on the dipole polarizability (DP) of nuclei and its relation to the neutron skin thickness and properties of the neutron-rich matter equation o…
Candidate toroidal electric dipole mode in the spherical nucleus Ni
P. von Neumann-Cosel, V. O. Nesterenko, I. Brandherm +8
Dipole toroidal modes appear in many fields of physics. In nuclei, such a mode was predicted more than 50 years ago, but clear experimental evidence was lacking so far. Using a com…
