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…

Observation of the distribution of nuclear magnetization in a molecule

S. G. Wilkins, S. M. Udrescu, M. Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis +33

Rapid progress in the experimental control and interrogation of molecules, combined with developments in precise calculations of their structure, are enabling new opportunities in…

Cr as a Doorway to the N = 40 Island of Inversion

L. Lalanne, M. Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis, D. D. Dao +24

This paper reports on the measurement of the ground-state spin and nuclear magnetic dipole moment of Cr. The radioactive ion beam was produced at the CERN-ISOLDE facility an…

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…

Pinning down electron correlations in RaF via spectroscopy of excited states and high-accuracy relativistic quantum chemistry

M. Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis, S. G. Wilkins, L. V. Skripnikov +53

We report the spectroscopy of the 14 lowest excited electronic states in the radioactive molecule radium monofluoride (RaF). The observed excitation energies are compared with full…

Ionization potential of radium monofluoride

S. G. Wilkins, H. A. Perrett, S. M. Udrescu +43

The ionization potential (IP) of radium monofluoride (RaF) was measured to be 4.969(2)[10] eV, revealing a relativistic enhancement in the series of alkaline earth monofluorides. T…
