HIGHLIGHTED ARTICLES

Quantitative feasibility study of sequential neutron captures using intense lasers

Vojtěch Horný, Sophia N. Chen, Xavier Davoine, Laurent Gremillet, and Julien Fuchs

Phys. Rev. C 109, 025802 (2024) - Published 14 February, 2024

Laser-generated nucleosynthesis remains out of reach of present-day technology—but more powerful lasers could eventually make it possible.

Eigenvector continuation for the pairing Hamiltonian

M. Companys Franzke, A. Tichai, K. Hebeler, and A. Schwenk

Phys. Rev. C 109, 024311 (2024) - Published 13 February, 2024

This work reports on an emulator for the evaluation of many-body observables based on an eigenvector continuation (EC) framework as an example of a reduced-basis method for a detailed study of the exactly solvable pairing Hamiltonian that serves as a model for nuclear superfluidity. EC is established as a robust resummation tool for many-body perturbation theory even though the bare perturbative expansion breaks down. The authors obtain a reliable, computation-saving, description of the exact solution with a small number of training points, provided these are taken from both sides of the pairing phase transition.

Elastic electron scattering from deformed and oriented odd-A nuclei

P. Sarriguren

Phys. Rev. C 109, 024312 (2024) - Published 12 February, 2024

Deformation is a common property of nuclei, typically deduced from excitation spectra and γ-transition rates. Such deduction is more difficult for odd-A nuclei. In this paper, Sarriguren shows how one can use the interference between monopole and quadrupole Coulomb form factors in electron scattering off polarized odd-A nuclei to obtain detailed information on the quadrupole deformation, including its sign.

Ternary quasifission in collisions of actinide nuclei

Far away from the heaviest known nuclei, an island of relatively stable nuclei should exist in the nuclear chart. Reaching that island of stability requires a nuclear reaction that will transfer a large number of nucleons from one nucleus to another, such as in the collision of two actinide nuclei, which are heavy and already neutron-rich. In one particular collision scenario, ternary quasifission, the composite system formed by the two colliding nuclei is not in equilibrium, splitting into three fragments, instead of the more commonly observed binary fission process. The authors report a systematic study of ternary quasifission in 238U + 238U collisions in a microscopic framework that has been successfully applied to various nuclear phenomena. They find that including octupole deformation has a pronounced effect on the formation of the middle fragment. For tail-to-tail and tail-to-side collisions, the model calculations predict the formation of very heavy neutron-rich systems in certain energy intervals, a result that is potentially interesting for the synthesis of superheavy elements.

Atomic corrections for the unique first-forbidden β transition of Re187

O. Niţescu, R. Dvornický, and F. Šimkovic

Phys. Rev. C 109, 025501 (2024) - Published 13 February, 2024

The shape of the spectrum of electrons emitted in β decay near the highest (endpoint) energy offers a direct way to determine the absolute values of neutrino masses. The authors reexamine one of the most promising candidates for determining the neutrino mass scale, the unique first-forbidden β transition from 187Re(5/2+) to 187Os(1/2). Their results show that exchange effects between the emitted electrons and the atomic bound electrons can considerably impact the shape of the electron spectrum near the endpoint. The authors conclude that atomic effects, especially the exchange effect, should be considered in current and future investigations of the neutrino mass scale from β decays.

Radiative decay branching ratio of the Hoyle state

Zifeng Luo (罗梓锋), M. Barbui, J. Bishop, G. Chubarian, V. Z. Goldberg, E. Harris, E. Koshchiy, C. E. Parker, M. Roosa, A. Saastamoinen, D. P. Scriven, and G. V. Rogachev

In 1954 Fred Hoyle postulated that a 7.65 MeV excited state in 12C had to exist for carbon-based life to develop on Earth. During stellar helium burning, such a state allows a short-lived 8Be, formed from two α particles, to resonantly react with a third α particle to form this state which can decay to the 12C ground state via γ or electron-positron pair emission. The branching fraction for this radiative decay determines the amount of 12C produced in stars. A recent experiment suggested that the decay was significantly different from previous results from the 1960’s and 1970’s, adding considerable uncertainty to this important reaction. This paper uses modern detection technology to remeasure the branching ratio with reduced uncertainties compared with the new result and confirms that the earlier results were correct, thus significantly reducing the uncertainty in stellar 12C production.

The shape of the spectrum of electrons emitted in β decay near the highest (endpoint) energy offers a direct way to determine the absolute values of neutrino masses. The authors reexamine one of the most promising candidates for determining the neutrino mass scale, the unique first-forbidden β transition from 187Re(5/2+) to 187Os(1/2). Their results show that exchange effects between the emitted electrons and the atomic bound electrons can considerably impact the shape of the electron spectrum near the endpoint. The authors conclude that atomic effects, especially the exchange effect, should be considered in current and future investigations of the neutrino mass scale from β decays.

In 1954 Fred Hoyle postulated that a 7.65 MeV excited state in 12C had to exist for carbon-based life to develop on Earth. During stellar helium burning, such a state allows a short-lived 8Be, formed from two α particles, to resonantly react with a third α particle to form this state which can decay to the 12C ground state via γ or electron-positron pair emission. The branching fraction for this radiative decay determines the amount of 12C produced in stars. A recent experiment suggested that the decay was significantly different from previous results from the 1960’s and 1970’s, adding considerable uncertainty to this important reaction. This paper uses modern detection technology to remeasure the branching ratio with reduced uncertainties compared with the new result and confirms that the earlier results were correct, thus significantly reducing the uncertainty in stellar 12C production.
