Evidence for ground-state electron capture of ${}^{40}K$

L. Hariasz et al. (KDK Collaboration)

Phys. Rev. C 108, 014327 (2023) - Published 31 July, 2023

Potassium-40 ( $^{40}$ K) is a long-lived, naturally occurring radioisotope whose decay properties impact geochronology as well as rare-event searches. The KDK Collaboration reports first experimental evidence for the existence of the very rare electron-capture branch from $^{40}$ K to the ground state of $^{40}$ Ar, suppressed by two orders of magnitude as compared to the decay to the excited state of $^{40}$ Ar. This measurement quantifies a previously ill-known background in rare-event searches, resolves a longstanding uncertainty in potassium-based geological age estimates, and benchmarks the theoretical modeling of highly forbidden weak decays including a neutrinoless double- $β$ decay.

LETTER

Information-field-based global Bayesian inference of the jet transport coefficient

Man Xie, Weiyao Ke, Hanzhong Zhang, and Xin-Nian Wang

Phys. Rev. C 108, L011901 (2023) - Published 26 July, 2023

All recent analyses of heavy-ion data that extract information about the transport properties of excited strongly interacting matter use Bayesian techniques to fit parameters of functional forms motivated by physical insight. These explicit parameterizations may introduce undesired long-range correlations between different regions of parameter space. This paper develops an information field approach to avoid an explicit functional parameterization and obtain a global Bayesian inference of the jet transport coefficient $\hat{q}$ as a function of the temperature.
