EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Testing isospin symmetry breaking in ab initio nuclear theory

M. S. Martin, S. R. Stroberg, J. D. Holt, and K. G. Leach

Phys. Rev. C 104, 014324 (2021) - Published 30 July, 2021

Superallowed $β$ decay, resulting when near-exact isospin symmetry exists between the initial and final nuclei, is an important test of the Standard Model. Understanding the minute breaking of isospin in such nuclei is thus crucially important. The authors calculate signatures of isospin breaking in all relevant superallowed systems, starting from underlying two- and three-nucleon forces. While their results agree with experiment, simpler phenomenological models reproduce these effects more accurately, showing that work remains to be done.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Stellar $s$ -process neutron capture cross sections on ${}^{78, 80, 84, 86}{Kr}$ determined via activation, atom trap trace analysis, and decay counting

Phys. Rev. C 104, 015806 (2021) - Published 29 July, 2021

Understanding stellar $s$ -process nucleosynthesis requires knowledge of neutron capture cross sections. In this work krypton gas is activated by an intense neutron beam at stellar energies. Applying for the first time atom-trap trace analysis (ATTA), long-lived reaction products are individually trapped and counted via fluorescence using cycling atomic transitions excited by precisely tuned lasers. Absolute isotope production is determined by comparison with reference samples. Improved capture cross sections are determined for four krypton isotopes, and the effect of the new values on relative $s$ -process abundances in medium- and high-mass stars is investigated.
