A new measurement of 174Hf alpha decay to the ground state of 170Yb was performed deep underground at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS) of the INFN (Italy). The experimental data were accumulated over 97.7 days with a 16.87 g Cs2HfCl6 single crystal. A new half-life value of 174Hf α decay: T1/2 = yr, was evaluated. The total internal α activity of the crystal is 18.6(4) mBq/kg, and should be further improved, especially in terms of 147Sm contamination (0.25 mBq/kg), in order to achieve a higher experimental sensitivity.

Activation cross sections of 103Rh(α,xn)106m,105g,104gAg and 103Rh(α,αxn)101m,102gRh radionuclides were measured at energies ranging from their respective threshold energies up to 40 MeV. Standard stacked foil activation technique was employed for irradiation. Residual activity was assayed using high-resolution gamma-ray spectrometry. Excitation functions were also theoretically calculated using TALYS nuclear reaction model to reproduce the experimental cross section data. The present data are compared with the available literature data, TENDL-2023 data using default values as well as the theoretical data calculated by TALYS-1.96. The shape and amplitude of the experimentally obtained excitation functions were well reproduced theoretically for all the studied radionuclides except for 105gAg, for which magnitude of the cross sections was not reproduced. The integral yields were also deduced using the measured cross sections and the stopping power of natural Rh from 40 MeV down to their threshold energies for these radionuclides, and compared with the experimental yield data available in the literature.

A systematic investigation of superheavy nuclei in the isotopic chains of proton numbers Z=106, 114, 120, and 126 together with isotonic chains of neutron numbers N=162, 172, and 184 is presented in the theoretical framework of relativistic mean-field density functionals based on density-dependent meson-nucleon couplings. Ground-state properties, including binding energy, shape, deformation, density profile, and radius, are estimated to provide compelling evidence of magicity in these even-even nuclei, aligning with the concept of the ‘island of stability.’ The analysis reveals central depletion in the charge density, indicating a bubble-like structure, primarily attributed to the substantial repulsive Coulomb field and the influence of higher l-states. A thorough examination of potential decay modes, employing various semi-empirical formulas, is presented. The probable α-decay chains are evaluated, demonstrating excellent agreement with available experimental data.

In this article, the authors presents a novel four parameter formula based on developing an expression for the moment of inertia in terms of Bohr-Mottelson Geometric Collective Model (GCM). The formula provides an excellent agreement with the experimental data for all nuclei under consideration. Some key quantities will also be derived such as the rotational frequency, the kinematic and dynamical moment of inertia, and their variation with spin will be investigated. A comparison between our proposed four parameter model with both the variable moment of inertia model, and the recently proposed β-stretching model is also presented. Various and energy staggering indices will be presented and compared to the experimental counterpart in the paper.

In systems comprising three identical particles, the Efimov effect emerges in the unitary limit. This article, utilizing the method of effective field theory along with the effective range expansion (ERE) and low-momentum expansion, reproduces the Efimov effect beyond unitary limit and identical case and applies to DDK system. It also links the high-energy scale with the ultraviolet cutoff in the three-body system. We discuss a method for obtaining exact solutions for the three-body wave function below the threshold of dimer production, that is D and . It turns out that introducing this scale is a necessary condition for the emergence of DDK three-body bound state. Since without this scale, the wave function would be solved below threshold with arbitrary binding energy, which violates the conditions of unitarity and energy quantization. The calculation involving this scale results in a discrete spectrum below the threshold and restores unitarity, making the effects induced by this scale significant for the formation of DDK bound state. In order to establish this in a complete formalism, the paper further gives an analytical expression for the three-body coupling constant, and compares it to the numerical calculation in DDK system.

Three isotone groups (N=128,130,132) with alpha-decaying, short-lifetime even-even nuclei of large mass number are studied in order to show that the tunneling phase of the alpha decay process is appropriately describable by a specific non-hermitian mean-field model. In this model the mean-field lifetime of the alpha cluster is extracted directly by the complex diagonalization of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian of the system. In this paper, we demonstrate that by calculating the mean-field width of the alpha clusters, in each isotone groups, by non-perturbative complex spectral calculations, then, due to the distinct patterns the isotones are naturally organized into with respect to the half-life and proton number, the total width of the alpha-decay can be approximated by matching the calculated results to experimental data.

The FRS Ion Catcher (FRS-IC) is located at the final focal plane of the Fragment Separator FRS at GSI. The FRS-IC setup is well known for high-precision experiments with stopped exotic nuclei produced by projectile fragmentation and fission. The facility consists of the cryogenic gas-filled stopping cell (CSC), an RFQ-based beamline (DISTRICT), and a multiple-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometer (MR-TOF-MS). This paper illustrates how alpha spectroscopy performed at this facility has emerged as a promising tool to unveil the nuclear structure of exotic nuclei, i.e., half-live and decay energy measurements. First studies of that kind were performed on the decay chains of 218Rn, 219Rn, 221Ac, 220Fr, and 223,224Th produced by projectile fragmentation of 238U. The α decay energy measurements performed and the deduced Qα values confirm the known maximum at N=128 and the values of Qα at N follow the predicted increasing in Qα values compared to the values for At isotopes at the same neutron number N. Further, the production rate ratio of the isomer to the ground state of 211Po was measured. It allows an estimate of the angular momentum distribution of 211Po fragments following fragmentation of 238U in a 9Be target at relativistic energies. In addition, the potential of mass-selected decay spectroscopy behind the MR-TOF-MS was demonstrated with short-lived 215Po ions ( ms). This demonstrates that the FRS-IC is a reliable setup for α spectroscopy studies and related nuclear structure studies.

The <em>α</em> decay energy measurements performed and the deduced Q<sub><em>α</em></sub> values confirm the known maximum at N=128 and the values of Q<sub><em>α</em></sub> at N<span><math><mo>=</mo><mn>132</mn><mo>−</mo><mn>133</mn></math></span> follow the predicted increasing in Q<sub><em>α</em></sub> values compared to the values for At isotopes at the same neutron number N. Further, the production rate ratio of the isomer to the ground state of <sup>211</sup>Po was measured. It allows an estimate of the angular momentum distribution of <sup>211</sup>Po fragments following fragmentation of <sup>238</sup>U in a <sup>9</sup>Be target at relativistic energies. In addition, the potential of mass-selected decay spectroscopy behind the MR-TOF-MS was demonstrated with short-lived <sup>215</sup>Po ions (<span><math><msub><mrow><mi>t</mi></mrow><mrow><mn>1</mn><mo>/</mo><mn>2</mn></mrow></msub><mo>=</mo><mn>1.78</mn></math></span> ms). This demonstrates that the FRS-IC is a reliable setup for <em>α</em> spectroscopy studies and related nuclear structure studies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19246,"journal":{"name":"Nuclear Physics A","volume":"1053 ","pages":"Article 122967"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142432765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have found a typo mistake in the code used to obtain the double folding results discussed in the above paper. However the single folding results were unaffected as they were calculated with a different code.
The correct code provides values bringing the double folding and the single folding results closer to each other at an incident energy around 60 A.MeV, as it can be seen in Table 1 and Figs. 1 and 2 presented in the following. However the main conclusions of the paper are qualitatively unaffected because the single folding model still provides larger reaction cross sections and strong absorption radii indicating the important effect of surface absorption. This is particularly true in the high energy case for which there are also data shown in the four panels of Fig. 3 where the energy dependence of the reaction cross section for four different projectiles is studied comparing data with the single folding and double folding results. There are only a few small projectile cases shown in Table 1 for which the single folding provides smaller cross sections and strong absorption radii than the double folding.
