A first experiment is reported that makes use of a new kind of spectrometer uniquely suited to the study of reactions with radioactive beams in inverse kinematics, the helical orbit spectrometer, HELIOS. The properties of some low-lying states in the neutron-rich N = 8 nucleus B-13 were studied with good resolution. From the measured angular distributions of the (d, p) reaction and the relative spectroscopic factors, spin and configuration assignments of the first- and third-excited states of this nucleus can be constrained.

New capability for neutron transmission measurements at LANSCE: The DICER instrument

A. Stamatopoulos, P. Koehler, A. Couture, B. DiGiovine, G. Rusev, J. Ullmann

Summary: A new capability for neutron transmission measurements, called DICER instrument, has been developed. This instrument tightly constrains neutron-capture cross sections for short-lived radionuclides that are beyond the reach of direct techniques, by measuring and analyzing neutron transmission resonances on these same radionuclides. The innovative DICER apparatus enables simultaneous sample-in and sample-out measurements, reducing the required sample material and halving the measurement time.

Summary: A narrow near-threshold proton-emitting resonance (E-x = 11.4 MeV, J(pi) = 1/2(+), and Gamma(p) = 4.4 keV) was directly observed in B-11 via proton resonance scattering. The good agreement between both experimental results confirms the existence of such exotic decay and the particular behavior of weakly bound nuclei coupled to the continuum.

Summary: The absolute cross sections for the addition of s-and d-wave neutrons to 14C and 14N have been determined using the (d,p) reaction. The results differ significantly from those obtained from intermediate-energy knockout reactions. The simultaneous technique used in this study helps eliminate systematic uncertainties.

Summary: We review recent progress in nuclear optical potentials and emphasize the need for further developments, especially in regions away from stability. An improved description of nuclear reactions involving short-lived isotopes has significant benefits for fundamental science discoveries and applications. We outline the methods used to build optical potentials and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. We also provide open challenges and recommendations to advance nuclear reaction studies in the rare-isotope beam era.

Instrumentation for correlated prompt n-y emission studies in coincidence with fission fragments

Summary: Recent theoretical and experimental results have sparked renewed interest in fission fragment angular momentum. Neutron and γ-ray measurements in conjunction with fission fragments are still the most valuable tools for studying fission physics. In this study, a new twin Frisch-gridded ionization chamber and an array of trans-stilbene organic scintillators (FS-3) were developed for measuring fission fragment properties and neutron/y-ray multiplicities and spectra. The details of these detectors and the initial experimental results are discussed, as well as future plans for event-by-event analysis and experiments.

Summary: Motivated by uncertainties in the thermonuclear rate of the 30P(p, gamma )31S reaction, we measured lifetimes of 31S excited states using the DSL2 facility at ISAC-II. We used modern statistical techniques to analyze gamma-ray data and determined the lifetimes of the lowest-lying 31S excited states. We also observed gamma rays from the astrophysically important 30P(p, gamma )31S resonance, but more data is needed for accurate lifetime constraints.

Direct measurement of 59Ni(n, p) 59Co and 59Ni(n, α) 56Fe at fast-neutron energies from 500 keV to 10 MeV

Summary: Nuclear reaction data for neutron induced reactions on unstable nuclei are crucial, but difficult to obtain. This study presents direct measurements of Ni-59(n, p) and Ni-59(n, alpha) cross sections using a radioactive Ni-59 target, and compares them to existing nuclear data evaluations. The results also challenge the reliability of an indirect surrogate ratio method used in a previous study.

Summary: The gamma-decay properties of an excited state in Al-26 at 6398.3(8) keV have been reexamined. The relative branching to the Al-26 ground state was determined to be 0.76 +/- 0.03 (stat.) +/- 0.10 (syst.), indicating a considerable increase in the production of cosmic gamma rays from Al-26 radioactivity.

νi13/2 structures in 155Sm and 159Gd: Supporting evidence of a Z=60 deformed subshell gap

Summary: Maximal ground-state deformation is expected when both proton and neutron Fermi surfaces are located at midshell, but stable large deformations can also occur at other proton or neutron values. Evidence of this has been observed in the rare-earth region, specifically at Z = 60. Further evidence of the deformed gap has been found by studying the signature splitting systematics of nu i13/2 bands in odd-N, rare-earth nuclei, and confirmed through particle transfer experiments.
