The lifetime of the 2(1)(+) state in C-16 has been measured with the recoil distance method using the Be-9(Be-9,2p) fusion-evaporation reaction at a beam energy of 40 MeV. The mean lifetime was measured to be 11.7(20) ps corresponding to a B(E2; 2(1)(+)-> 0(+)) value of 4.15(73)e(2) fm(4) [1.73(30) W.u.], consistent with other even-even closed shell nuclei. Our result does not support an interpretation for decoupled valence neutrons.

Senoville, O. Sorlin, M. Stanoiu, I Stefan, C. Stodel, D. Suzuki, J-C Thomas, M. Vandebrouck

Summary: The isovector and isoscalar components of neutron-proton pairing in the fp-shell of N=Z unstable nuclei were investigated using the (p, He-3) two-nucleon transfer reaction. By combining particle and gamma-ray detection with radioactive beams, the study was carried out for the first time in both closed and open-shell nuclei in the fp-shell. The results suggest the presence of a superfluid phase in the isovector channel based on the enhanced ground-state to ground-state pair transfer cross-section in Fe-52.

Evidence of the unthinkable: Experimental wargaming at the nuclear threshold

Andrew W. Reddie, Bethany L. Goldblum

Summary: This article introduces an experimental wargaming platform to quantify the effect of tailored nuclear capabilities on the nuclear threshold. The study finds that the presence of tailored nuclear capabilities increases the likelihood of conflict escalation, but this trend diminishes in the wargaming context.

Shimizu, H. Suzuki, K. Takahashi, H. Takeda, S. Takeuchi, R. Tanaka, Y. Togano, A. G. Tuff, M. Vandebrouck, K. Yoneda

Summary: Unbound states in 17C were studied by removing one neutron from an 18C beam at an energy of 245 MeV/nucleon on a carbon target. The energy spectrum of 17C above the single-neutron decay threshold was reconstructed using invariant mass spectroscopy, revealing resonances at 0.52(2), 0.77(2), 1.36(1), 1.91(1), 2.22(3), and 3.20(1) MeV. Through comparisons with calculations, the resonance at 0.77(2) MeV was tentatively assigned as the second 5/2+ state, while the resonances at 1.91(1) and 3.20(1) MeV were identified as p-shell hole states with spin-parities 1/2-1 and 3/2-1, respectively. A YSOX shell-model Hamiltonian based on the monopole-based universal interaction provided a good description of the results.

Summary: Gamma decays in Ca-56 and Ca-58 were observed following quasi-free one-proton knockout reactions. The transitions were tentatively assigned as the 2(1)(+) -> 0(gs)(+) decays and compared to results from ab initio and conventional shell-model approaches. A new nuclear shell above the N=34 shell was confirmed, indicating a potential extension of the dripline of Ca isotopes.

Yasuda, K. Yoneda, J. Zenihiro

Summary: The dineutron correlation was studied in three different Borromean nuclei near the neutron dripline. The correlation angle between valence neutrons was found to be largest in the same range of intrinsic momenta, which suggests a connection to the nuclear surface. This result reinforces the prediction of universal dineutron formation in environments with low neutron density, such as the surface of neutron-rich Borromean nuclei.

Summary: In this study, detailed ?-ray spectroscopy of the Ne-28 isotope was performed for the first time using the one-neutron removal reaction from 29Ne. Based on an analysis of momentum distributions, a level scheme with spin-parity assignments was constructed for Ne-28 and the negative-parity states were identified for the first time. The results indicate a breakdown of the N = 20 and N = 28 shell gaps, presenting a challenge for theoretical description of the transition in the Ne isotopic chain.

Summary: In this study, a new experimental method combining the shape method and the beta-Oslo technique is developed to measure the nuclear level density (NLD) of short-lived nuclei. The results show a fivefold increase in the NLD for the Kr-88 nucleus compared to theoretical values, with significant implications in astrophysics and other applications.

On the Experimental Description of Neutron Resonances

Julien Gibelin

Summary: We provide a set of simple derivations for neutron-induced resonance cross-sections, which are commonly used to experimentally describe the fundamental properties of resonances for neutron-rich nuclei far from stability and unbound nuclei. The main purpose of this article is to illustrate the dependencies of these formulae on basic observables and discuss the relevance of experimental approaches in deriving their properties, particularly for N-body resonances.

Summary: An independent investigation of the isoscalar giant monopole (IS0) strength distributions in nuclei was performed using the 0 degrees facility at iThemba Laboratory for Accelerator Based Sciences (iThemba LABS), South Africa to understand differences observed in previous experiments. The results showed structural differences in the IS0 strength distributions of 90Zr and 208Pb, which may affect the determination of nuclear matter incompressibility based on the IS0 centroid energies of these two nuclei.

E. J. Callaghan, B. L. Goldblum, J. A. Brown, T. A. Laplace, J. J. Manfredi, M. Yeh, G. D. Orebi Gann

Summary: This study presents the first measurement of the proton light yield of a water-based liquid scintillator (WbLS) and a pure LAB + 2 g/L 2,5-diphenyloxazole (PPO) mixture (LABPPO). The proton light yields were measured using a double time-of-flight method and a pulsed neutron beam. The results show that the proton light yield of WbLS is approximately 3.8% lower than that of LABPPO, which itself exhibits a relative proton light yield 15-20% higher than previous measurements of a similar sample.

Summary: High-spin states in As-74 were studied and two positive-parity and one negative-parity bands were identified. The positive-parity bands are interpreted as chiral doublet bands, and octupole correlations in As-74 were observed.

Summary: Wargames are a valuable tool in military and strategic research, but traditional approaches may lack rigorous data collection. Experimental wargaming, such as the SIGNAL game, combines experimental design principles to explore fundamental research questions about human behavior in conflict scenarios. SIGNAL has been played hundreds of times by thousands of players, creating a substantial database for academic purposes.

Summary: This study investigates the nuclear level density (NLD) and gamma-ray strength function (gamma SF) of 63Ni using the Oslo method. The results are compared with previous measurements and neutron resonance spacing. The study finds a strong low-energy enhancement in the gamma SF, which can be explained by M1 strength based on large-scale shell model calculations. Additionally, systematic changes in the strength below 5 MeV are observed with increasing mass in various Ni isotopes.

Summary: This work describes the development of a silicon tracker system for experiments with proton-rich radioactive ion beams at the SAMURAI superconducting spectrometer of RIBF at RIKEN. The system is designed for accurate angular reconstruction and atomic number identification of relativistic heavy ions and protons, and has shown good performance in two pilot experiments. The physics justification for such a system is also presented.
