Neutron $s$ states in loosely bound nuclei

C. R. Hoffman, B. P. Kay, and J. P. Schiffer

Phys. Rev. C 89, 061305(R) (2014) - Published 13 June, 2014

It is well-known that the relative energies of the 1s1/2 and 0d5/2 single-particle states vary drastically in light nuclei. This work shows that the effect is caused by the special properties of the neutron state with zero angular momentum, which approaches zero binding much more slowly than other orbits. Interestingly, the behavior of the relative energies of these states is fit remarkably well by a standard Woods-Saxon potential well.

Chiral effective field theory analysis of hadronic parity violation in few-nucleon systems

M. Viviani, A. Baroni, L. Girlanda, A. Kievsky, L. E. Marcucci, and R. Schiavilla

Phys. Rev. C 89, 064004 (2014) - Published 18 June, 2014

Weak interactions between quarks induce a parity-violating (PV) component in the nucleon-nucleon potential. This work exploits chiral effective field theory at next-to-next-to-leading order to construct this parity-nonconserving component. The potential obtained is used to investigate several PV observables, including the neutron-spin rotations in scattering of polarized neutrons off protons and deuterons, and the longitudinal asymmetries in proton-proton elastic scattering and in the $^{3}$ He( $\vec{n}$ , $p$ ) $^{3}$ H charge-exchange reaction.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

New general approach in few-body scattering calculations: Solving discretized Faddeev equations on a graphics processing unit

V. N. Pomerantsev, V. I. Kukulin, and O. A. Rubtsova

Phys. Rev. C 89, 064008 (2014) - Published 30 June, 2014

Combining the discretization of the two- and three-body scattering continuum and the use of a graphics processor unit (GPU) for parallel computing, the authors solved the Faddeev equation for neutron-deuteron scattering, using a modern realistic nucleon-nucleon potential. They carried out the calculations on a desk-top computer and achieved very short run-times.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Transition from collectivity to single-particle degrees of freedom from magnetic moment measurements on $_{38}^{82} Sr$ $_{44}$ and $_{38}^{90} Sr$ $_{52}$

Slater, A. Spiridon, S. Yu. Torilov, V. I. Zherebchevsky, G. Gürdal, S. J. Q. Robinson, S. D. Pain, and J. T. Harke

Phys. Rev. C 89, 064305 (2014) - Published 10 June, 2014

The evolution of shell structure and the fragility of the benchmark magic numbers is a topic of major interest in nuclear-structure physics. The authors measured the structure-sensitive $g$ factors of states in unstable even-even strontium isotopes, following $α$ -pickup reactions by krypton beams from a carbon target. The results help elucidate how protons and neutrons contribute to the evolution of nuclear structure in this important mass region where rapid structural changes occur.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Hydrodynamics of charge fluctuations and balance functions

Bo Ling, Todd Springer, and Mikhail Stephanov

Phys. Rev. C 89, 064901 (2014) - Published 6 June, 2014

Hydrodynamic fluctuations are used to study correlations between electrically charged particles produced in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC. Comparing to STAR data the authors infer an electric charge diffusion coefficient of $D \approx 1 / (2 π T)$ with a temperature $T$ in the range of 150 to 200 MeV, consistent with a strongly coupled medium.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Constraints from $v_{2}$ fluctuations for the initial-state geometry of heavy-ion collisions

Thorsten Renk and Harri Niemi

Phys. Rev. C 89, 064907 (2014) - Published 16 June, 2014

The authors show that recent data from the CERN Large Hadron Collider rule out all simple, commonly used, independent-particle Glauber-based models of the initial state of high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Either some nonlinear dynamics in the creation or in the evolution of the dense strongly interacting matter is necessary or one must consider additional sources of fluctuations in the particle production.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

The reaction $π N \to π π N$ in chiral effective field theory with explicit $Δ (1232)$ degrees of freedom

D. Siemens, V. Bernard, E. Epelbaum, H. Krebs, and Ulf-G. Meißner

Phys. Rev. C 89, 065211 (2014) - Published 30 June, 2014

The reaction $π N \to π π N$ is particularly well-suited for studying the role of the $Δ$ , the lightest excitation of the nucleon. The chiral perturbation theory analysis of this reaction, in this work, shows that including explicit $Δ$ contributions significantly improves the description of low-energy data.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Weakly interacting massive particle-nucleus elastic scattering response

Nikhil Anand, A. Liam Fitzpatrick, and W. C. Haxton

Phys. Rev. C 89, 065501 (2014) - Published 25 June, 2014

A model-independent formulation of WIMP-nucleon scattering is used to define the experiments needed to interpret the physics of dark matter. The graphic shows the relative event rate for six different isotopes for the six different nuclear responses considered in the paper. One can see that several isotopes will be needed to distinguish between different interaction types after a discovery is made.
