Summary: The study of alpha cluster formation on the surface of neutron-rich heavy nuclei using quasi-free alpha cluster-knockout reactions reveals a tight interplay with the neutron skin thickness. This result calls for a revision in the correlation between neutron-skin thickness and the density dependence of the symmetry energy, crucial for understanding neutron stars. Additionally, the observed monotonous decrease of reaction cross sections with increasing mass number provides a natural explanation for the origin of alpha particles in alpha decay.

Summary: The new isotope 241U was synthesized and systematic atomic mass measurements of nineteen neutron-rich Pa-Pu isotopes were performed in the multinucleon transfer reactions of the 238U + 198Pt system at the KISS facility. The present experimental results demonstrate the crucial role of the multinucleon transfer reactions for accessing unexplored neutron-rich actinide isotopes toward the N = 152 shell gap in this region of nuclides.

Summary: The fission properties of neutron-rich nuclei Cf-278 and Cf-286 near the end point of the r-process are studied using microscopic self-consistent approaches. Fission barriers and potential energy surfaces are obtained through constrained static Skyrme Hartree-Fock-BCS calculations. Fission fragments are studied through dynamical time-dependent Hartree-Fock+BCS calculations. The results show that Cf-286 has an octupole deformation at the ground state, which can increase the fission barrier height and significantly enhance the spontaneous fission half-life. No very asymmetric fission channels predicted by semi-empirical models are found in our results.

Summary: The mass and total kinetic-energy distributions of fission fragments from the Md-257 nucleus through the complete fusion of F-19 with U-238 have been measured in the range of excitation energy approximately 37-48 MeV. Experimental results show the existence of a significant supershort mode of fission for the Md-257 nucleus up to approximately 48 MeV, revealing deviations from liquid drop model predictions for neutron-rich exotic nuclei even at high excitation energies.

Summary: This study reports an investigation of even-even nuclei near the Pb-208 closed core within the large-scale shell-model framework. Calculations of low-lying state energies and electromagnetic transitions of Pb, Po, Rn, Ra, and Th nuclei were performed using a new effective interaction H208 derived from CD-Bonn nucleon-nucleon potential. A particular focus was given to the degree of collectivity, revealing a transitional region from spherical nuclear shape to weakly collective behavior.

Summary: The observation of mass-asymmetric fission in neutron-deficient 180Hg expanded the region of mass-asymmetric fission and stimulated research on the fission of sub-lead nuclei. The fission modes of 178Pt were investigated, revealing the presence of three modes: one mass-symmetric and two mass-asymmetric. New high-statistics data were obtained and analyzed, highlighting the importance of fitting the two-dimensional mass-kinetic energy distribution for accurate results. Systematic studies and rigorous statistical analysis are crucial to determine the shell effects responsible for multi-modal mass-asymmetric fission in this region.

Summary: An experimental study was conducted to investigate the spontaneous fission of 256Rf following the fusion reaction of 50Ti+208Pb using the velocity filter SHELS at the Flerov laboratory, JINR. The study obtained the average neutron number of & nu; = 4.30 + 0.17 and the variance of & sigma;& nu;2 = 3.2 from the prompt neutron multiplicity distribution. The study also determined the alpha decay branching ratio of b & alpha; = 0.003+0.005 -0.003 and the half-life of T1/2 = (6.7 + 0.2) ms of the isotope. For the first time, the neutron detector system enabled the investigation of prompt neutron multiplicity in the superheavy element region.

Summary: In this study, the production of new proton-rich nuclei near Sn-100 is investigated using TDHF and GEMINI++ models. Multinucleon transfer reactions are shown to have much higher production cross sections compared to fusion-evaporation and projectile fragmentation experiments. It is predicted that 19 new proton-rich isotopes can be produced through multinucleon transfer reactions of Ni-58 with Sn-112.

Summary: The study investigates the isovector giant dipole resonances in proton-rich Ar and Ca isotopes, revealing both giant resonances at around 18 MeV and pygmy resonances below 12 MeV. The strength of PDR decreases with increasing mass number, with proton motions dominating at the surface of nuclei. The collectivity of PDR states is found to be weak in proton-rich nuclei based on the analysis of QRPA amplitudes.

Summary: The multinucleon transfer reactions 197Au + 232Th, 186W + 232Th, and 238U + 232Th were studied using the dinuclear system (DNS) model and the decay model GEMINI++. The calculated isotopic production cross sections in the 136Xe + 249Cf reaction at Ec.m. = 567 MeV agreed well with experimental data. Inverse quasifission process was observed in the collisions of 186W + 232Th and 197Au + 232Th due to subshell closures. The reaction 197Au + 232Th was found to be more favorable for producing neutron-rich isotopes with Z = 92-106 compared to 186W + 232Th and 238U + 232Th, primarily due to its lower potential energy barrier. Additionally, the incident energy dependence of isotopic production cross sections in the reaction 197Au+232Th was investigated, and optimal incident energies for different isotopes were determined. The study also predicted the production cross sections of 88 unknown neutron-rich transuranium nuclei.

Summary: The relative probabilities of the standard I and standard II modes and their bifurcation near threshold were investigated for the p + Th-232 reaction. The results indicate that the standard II mode has a lower fission barrier than the standard I mode in Pa-233, and the relative probability of the standard I mode increases continually above its barrier energy. Multichance fission, especially last chance fission, plays a strong role in determining the observed energy dependence of all fission modes.

Summary: The probabilities of xn-, pxn-, and αxn- evaporation channels in excited superheavy nuclei were evaluated using the Monte Carlo method. The calculations utilized microscopically determined nuclear level densities and were compared with results obtained from the phenomenological Jackson formula. Effective temperatures derived from the microscopic approach were incorporated into the Jackson formula for different evaporation channels at low and moderate excitation energies. Additionally, an analytical formula was introduced to estimate the average kinetic energy of emitted particles in multi-step processes.

Summary: 225Ac is a radio-isotope used in targeted alpha therapy for treating distributed cancers. However, the shortage of pure 225Ac poses a challenge for developing 225Ac-labelled radiopharmaceuticals. One of the investigated techniques to obtain pure 225Ac is high-energy proton spallation of thorium or uranium combined with resonant laser ionization and mass separation. In this study, off-line resonant ionization mass spectrometry was performed on two samples of 225Ac, revealing operational collection efficiencies of 10.1(2)% and 9.9(8%) for different chemical environments.

Summary: In this paper, the first high-resolution laser spectroscopy results obtained at the GISELE laser laboratory of the GANIL-SPIRAL2 facility are presented for the first experiments with the S3-Low Energy Branch. Neutron-deficient radioactive isotopes of erbium and tin are studied, and the measured isotope-shift and hyperfine structure data for stable isotopes of these elements are presented. The laser setup is benchmarked using the atomic transitions of 4f126s2 3H6-* 4f12(3H)6s6p J = 5 (415 nm) for erbium isotopes and 5s25p2(3P0)-* 5s25p6s(3P1) (286.4 nm) for tin isotopes. Additionally, new isotope-shift data and corresponding field-shift F812 and mass-shift M812 factors are obtained for the 5s25p6s(3P1)-* 5s25p6p(3P2) (811.6 nm) atomic transition of tin isotopes.

Summary: Within the European medical radionuclides program PRISMAP, the possible enrichment of titanium and calcium stable isotopes through SILARC is investigated. In this process, titanium or calcium-containing molecules are injected into a gas cell with argon as a buffer gas and released via a nozzle to create a supersonic jet. By selectively exciting an isotopomer with an infrared laser, the molecule can be physically separated from the clusters formed by argon atoms. Density Functional Theory calculations have been performed on titanium-containing molecules to determine their ground-state configuration, interaction with argon, and calculate the frequencies of their vibrational modes.

Summary: Models of beta-delayed neutron emission assume statistical emission of neutrons through an intermediate compound nucleus, but contrary evidence was found in an In-134 beta-decay experiment at ISOLDE CERN. Neutron emission probabilities from unbound states in Sn-134 to known low-lying, single-particle states in Sn-133 were measured using time-of-flight technique and gamma-ray detectors. The experimental data disagree with predictions of statistical models based on the compound nucleus assumption, suggesting a violation of this assumption in beta-delayed neutron emission.
