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…

First evidence for the J1 components of the pygmy dipole resonance in neutron-rich nuclei

R. Li, E. Litvinova, M. N. Harakeh +21

Gamma () decay shapes the synthesis of heavy elements in neutron-rich nuclear environments of neutron star mergers, supplying the Universe with heavy elements. The low-energy p…

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…

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 $^{…

Shape evolution in even-mass Zr isotopes via lifetime measurements using the -coincidence technique

G. Pasqualato, S. Ansari, J. S. Heines +82

The Zirconium (Z = 40) isotopic chain has attracted interest for more than four decades. The abrupt lowering of the energy of the first state and the increase in the transiti…
