HIGHLIGHTED ARTICLES

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Quasidynamical symmetries in the backbending of chromium isotopes

Raúl A. Herrera and Calvin W. Johnson

Phys. Rev. C 95, 024303 (2017) - Published 3 February, 2017

Nuclear forces strongly break spin and spatial symmetries such as $S$ , $L$ , SU(3), and SU(4). However, calculations have previously revealed that quasi-dynamical symmetry holds, resulting in a relatively constant pattern of breaking within an excitation band. The authors use this to illuminate the change of structure in chromium isotopes as they undergo an abrupt change in the moment of inertia, also known as backbending.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Triaxial shape fluctuations and quasiparticle excitations in heavy nuclei

Fang-Qi Chen and J. Luis Egido

Phys. Rev. C 95, 024307 (2017) - Published 7 February, 2017

This work generalizes the generator coordinate method to include ( $β$ , $γ$ ) deformation parameters together with two-quasiparticle excitations. The simultaneous consideration of collective as well as single particle degrees of freedom allows one to describe soft and rigid nuclei as well as the transition region in between. The results agree well with the experimental data for erbium isotopes ranging from very soft to very rigid shapes.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

MILESTONE

Nuclear shape evolution based on microscopic level densities

D. E. Ward, B. G. Carlsson, T. Døssing, P. Möller, J. Randrup, and S. Åberg

Phys. Rev. C 95, 024618 (2017) - Published 27 February, 2017

The authors treat the nuclear shape evolution as a random walk on a multidimensional potential-energy surface using shape-dependent microscopic level densities. The resulting fission-fragment mass distributions agree remarkably well with data, and the gradual disappearance of pairing and shell effects with increasing energy is accounted for without additional parameters.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

$Q_{EC}$ value of the superallowed $β$ emitter ${}^{42}{Sc}$

T. Eronen, J. C. Hardy, L. Canete, A. Jokinen, J. Hakala, A. Kankainen, V. S. Kolhinen, J. Koponen, I. D. Moore, I. M. Murray, H. Penttilä, I. Pohjalainen, O. Poleshchuk, J. Reinikainen, S. Rinta-Antila, N. Soukouti, A. Voss, and J. Äystö

Phys. Rev. C 95, 025501 (2017) - Published 10 February, 2017

Precise measurements of superallowed $0^{+} \to 0^{+}$ $β$ decay presently provide the most precise value for the weak mixing amplitude $V_{u d}$ . As the largest element of the CKM matrix, $V_{u d}$ is a critical piece of the Standard Model of the electroweak interaction. The new, precise Penning-trap mass measurement of the decay energy for the superallowed transition in $^{42}$ Sc opens the door for a much more precise $f t$ value determination if its half-life can be measured more precisely as well.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Lower limit on the heat capacity of the neutron star core

Andrew Cumming, Edward F. Brown, Farrukh J. Fattoyev, C. J. Horowitz, Dany Page, and Sanjay Reddy

Phys. Rev. C 95, 025806 (2017) - Published 21 February, 2017

Using the observation of four transiently-accreting neutron stars, the authors provide (under simple assumptions) a lower limit for the star core heat capacity. The limit rules out a large fraction of the core being made up of a quark color-flavor-locked phase. Future observations during cooling periods between accretion outbursts will further constrain the heat capacity and neutrino cooling luminosity of the core.
