“Parking-garage” structures in nuclear astrophysics and cellular biophysics

D. K. Berry, M. E. Caplan, C. J. Horowitz, Greg Huber, and A. S. Schneider

Phys. Rev. C 94, 055801 (2016) - Published 1 November, 2016

Simulations of the dense matter in a neutron star’s crust predict the formation of structures that resemble those found in biological membranes.

The Mg30(t,p)Mg32 “puzzle” reexamined

A. O. Macchiavelli, H. L. Crawford, C. M. Campbell, R. M. Clark, M. Cromaz, P. Fallon, M. D. Jones, I. Y. Lee, M. Salathe, B. A. Brown, and A. Poves

Phys. Rev. C 94, 051303(R) (2016) - Published 18 November, 2016

The nucleus 32Mg sits within the so-called island of inversion. In simplest terms, the 32Mg ground state (nominally a closed neutron, N=20, shell) is dominated by components involving neutrons excited to the next higher, pf shell. Extended shell-model calculations show that particle-hole states (0p0h, 2p2h, and 4p4h) are important. The present work demonstrates that 30Mg(t,p)32Mg two-neutron transfer cross sections to the first two 0+ states can be understood in a simple three-state mixing model.

Applicability of the continuum-discretized coupled-channels method to the deuteron breakup at low energies

Kazuyuki Ogata and Kazuki Yoshida

Phys. Rev. C 94, 051603(R) (2016) - Published 22 November, 2016

The authors present break-up reaction calculations, which are important but difficult. Their calculations show that the continuum discretized coupled channels (CDCC) method provides reliable results for break-up reactions, in contrast to a recent publication claiming strong discrepancies with Faddeev results, provided that closed channels are included. Thus, the CDCC method can be reliably used rather than the more difficult three-body approach.

Role of correlations in spin-polarized neutron matter

Isaac Vidaña, Artur Polls, and Victoria Durant

Phys. Rev. C 94, 054006 (2016) - Published 28 November, 2016

This paper uses Brueckner theory in its accepted modern form to definitively establish that neutron matter, in the density regime relevant to neutron stars, does not suffer any ferromagnetic instability. This result shows that a ferromagnetic transition cannot be the origin of the magnetic fields in neutron stars.

Rearrangement of valence neutrons in the neutrinoless double-β decay of Xe136

S. V. Szwec, B. P. Kay, T. E. Cocolios, J. P. Entwisle, S. J. Freeman, L. P. Gaffney, V. Guimarães, F. Hammache, P. P. McKee, E. Parr, C. Portail, J. P. Schiffer, N. de Séréville, D. K. Sharp, J. F. Smith, and I. Stefan

Phys. Rev. C 94, 054314 (2016) - Published 15 November, 2016

In neutrinoless double-β decay such as 136Xe to 136Ba, two neutrons become two protons, thus rearranging the occupancy of protons and neutrons in the ground states of the parent and daughter nuclei. From precision measurements of the cross sections of single-neutron adding and -removing reactions, the authors extract the change in ground-state neutron occupancies between 136Xe and 136Ba. Along with recent results on the proton occupancies, the new experimental neutron occupancies disagree with those used in existing theoretical calculations of the rate of this elusive β-decay mode, and provide a ​ ​basis for improved estimates of the uncertainties for new calculations.

D-meson production in p-Pb collisions at sNN=5.02 TeV and in pp collisions at s=7 TeV

J. Adam et al. (ALICE Collaboration)

Phys. Rev. C 94, 054908 (2016) - Published 23 November, 2016

For the first time the ALICE Collaboration has measured D-meson production down to zero transverse momentum at midrapidity in proton-proton collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. This provides an important constraint on perturbative QCD calculations and the low-x parton distribution functions. It will have implications for cosmic-ray and neutrino astrophysics as well as for modeling high-energy heavy-ion collisions.

Hadronic weak charges and parity-violating forward Compton scattering

Mikhail Gorchtein and Hubert Spiesberger

Phys. Rev. C 94, 055502 (2016) - Published 14 November, 2016

The authors consider contributions to parity-violating electron-proton scattering from two-photon exchange, where the electromagnetic interaction of the nucleon has a parity-violating component. Unlike the standard short-ranged weak interaction conveyed by a massive Z boson, the considered mechanism induces novel long-range parity-violating forces. This is relevant for upcoming measurements at electron accelerator facilities at the University of Mainz and Jefferson Laboratory, including the Q-Weak experiment. The results will allow access to the weak charge of the nucleon and thereby, potentially, to physics beyond the Standard Model.

Direct measurement of low-energy Ne22(p,γ)Na23 resonances

R. Depalo et al. (LUNA Collaboration)

Phys. Rev. C 94, 055804 (2016) - Published 21 November, 2016

The authors perform a direct measurement of radiative proton capture on 22Ne at the LUNA underground laboratory whose low background allows unprecedented sensitivity. They report detailed experimental information for three recently observed new resonances in the 22Ne(p,γ)23Na reaction which is the most uncertain process in the neon-sodium cycle of stellar hydrogen burning. At temperatures relevant for nucleosynthesis in asymptotic giant branch stars and classical novae, its uncertainty is mainly due to a large number of predicted but hitherto unobserved resonances at low energy. The updated thermonuclear reaction rate is significantly higher than previous evaluations at temperatures below 0.3 GK.

D-meson production in p-Pb collisions at sNN=5.02 TeV and in pp collisions at s=7 TeV

J. Adam et al. (ALICE Collaboration)

Phys. Rev. C 94, 054908 (2016) - Published 23 November, 2016

For the first time the ALICE Collaboration has measured D-meson production down to zero transverse momentum at midrapidity in proton-proton collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. This provides an important constraint on perturbative QCD calculations and the low-x parton distribution functions. It will have implications for cosmic-ray and neutrino astrophysics as well as for modeling high-energy heavy-ion collisions.

Hadronic weak charges and parity-violating forward Compton scattering

Mikhail Gorchtein and Hubert Spiesberger

Phys. Rev. C 94, 055502 (2016) - Published 14 November, 2016

The authors consider contributions to parity-violating electron-proton scattering from two-photon exchange, where the electromagnetic interaction of the nucleon has a parity-violating component. Unlike the standard short-ranged weak interaction conveyed by a massive Z boson, the considered mechanism induces novel long-range parity-violating forces. This is relevant for upcoming measurements at electron accelerator facilities at the University of Mainz and Jefferson Laboratory, including the Q-Weak experiment. The results will allow access to the weak charge of the nucleon and thereby, potentially, to physics beyond the Standard Model.

Direct measurement of low-energy Ne22(p,γ)Na23 resonances

R. Depalo et al. (LUNA Collaboration)

Phys. Rev. C 94, 055804 (2016) - Published 21 November, 2016

The authors perform a direct measurement of radiative proton capture on 22Ne at the LUNA underground laboratory whose low background allows unprecedented sensitivity. They report detailed experimental information for three recently observed new resonances in the 22Ne(p,γ)23Na reaction which is the most uncertain process in the neon-sodium cycle of stellar hydrogen burning. At temperatures relevant for nucleosynthesis in asymptotic giant branch stars and classical novae, its uncertainty is mainly due to a large number of predicted but hitherto unobserved resonances at low energy. The updated thermonuclear reaction rate is significantly higher than previous evaluations at temperatures below 0.3 GK.
