In this paper, a "centrality" estimator based on flattenicity ($rho$) is studied in proton-led (p-Pb) collisions at $sqrt{s_{rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV using PYTHIA 8 Angantyr. Although Angantyr is still under development, the existing implementation is enough to study the particle production in systems where medium effects are absent. Firstly, ALICE data on pseudorapidity distributions as a function of the forward multiplicity (V0M), as well as transverse momentum distributions of identified particles in non-single diffractive p-Pb collisions, are compared with Angantyr. Secondly, the average number of binary nucleon-nucleon ($N_{rm coll}$) collisions for different "centrality" estimators are compared. The studies include the following "centrality" estimators: V0M, $rho$ and midrapidity multiplicity (CL1). On one hand, the "centrality" dependence of $langle N_{rm coll} rangle$ for the $rho$ selection shows the smallest deviations ($<8$ %) with respect to that obtained using impact parameter $b$; on the other hand, the V0M and CL1 yield huge deviations (up to a factor 2) with respect to the results using $b$. The particle ratios and nuclear modification factors ($Q_{rm pPb}$) as a function of $p_{rm T}$ are also studied. The proton-to-pion ratio exhibits a flow-like peak at intermediate $p_{rm T}$ (2-8 GeV/$c$) with little or no "centrality" dependence for V0M, $rho$ and $b$ selections. The kaon-to-pion ratio as a function of $p_{rm T}$ is "centrality" independent for the same selections. On the contrary, for the CL1 class the ratios exhibit the typical behaviour associated with hard physics. Regarding $Q_{rm pPb}$, a peak at intermediate $p_{rm T}$ ($2-8$ GeV/$c$) for different particle species is observed when the "centrality" is obtained with $b$ or $rho$. The observed features diminish for the selections based on V0M and CL1.

The mechanism of antiproton-nucleus annihilation at rest is not fully understood, despite substantial previous experimental and theoretical work. In this study we used slow extracted, sub-keV antiprotons from the ASACUSA apparatus at CERN to measure the charged particle multiplicities and their energy deposits from antiproton annihilations at rest on three different nuclei: carbon, molybdenum and gold. The results are compared with predictions from different models in the simulation tools Geant4 and FLUKA. A model that accounts for all the observed features is still missing, as well as measurements at low energies, to validate such models.

A dedicated isochronous storage ring, named the Rare-RI Ring, was constructed at the RI Beam Factory of RIKEN, aiming at precision mass measurements of nuclei located in uncharted territories of the nuclear chart. The Rare-RI Ring employs the isochronous mass spectrometry technique with the goal to achieve a relative mass precision of $10^{-6}$ within a measurement time of less than 1 ms. The performance of the facility was demonstrated through mass measurements of neutron-rich nuclei with well-known masses. Velocity or magnetic rigidity is measured for every particle prior to its injection into the ring, wherein its revolution time is accurately determined. The latter quantity is used to determine the mass of the particle, while the former one is needed for non-isochronicity corrections. Mass precisions on the order of $10^{-5}$ were achieved in the first commissioning, which demonstrates that Rare-RI Ring is a powerful tool for mass spectrometry of short-lived nuclei.
理化学研究所的 RI 光束工厂建造了一个专用的等时存储环，命名为 Rare-RI 环，旨在对位于核图未知领域的核进行精确的质量测量。稀有-RI 环采用等时质谱技术，目标是在小于 1 毫秒的测量时间内实现 10^{-6}$ 的质量精度。通过对众所周知的富中子原子核进行质量测量，证明了该设施的性能。每个粒子在注入环之前都要测量其速度或磁刚度，从而精确确定其旋转时间。后一个量用于确定粒子的质量，而前一个量则需要进行非等时性校正。第一次试运行就达到了 10^{-5}$ 的质量精确度，这表明稀有 RI 环是对短寿命原子核进行质谱分析的有力工具。

The $^{246}$Cm(n,$gamma$) and $^{248}$Cm(n,$gamma$) cross-sections have been measured at the Experimental Area 2 (EAR2) of the n_TOF facility at CERN with three C$_6$D$_6$ detectors. This measurement is part of a collective effort to improve the capture cross-section data for Minor Actinides (MAs), which are required to estimate the production and transmutation rates of these isotopes in light water reactors and innovative reactor systems. In particular, the neutron capture in $^{246}$Cm and $^{248}$Cm open the path for the formation of other Cm isotopes and heavier elements such as Bk and Cf and the knowledge of (n,$gamma$) cross-sections of these Cm isotopes plays an important role in the transport, transmutation and storage of the spent nuclear fuel. The reactions $^{246}$Cm(n,$gamma$) and $^{248}$Cm(n,$gamma$) have been the two first capture measurements analyzed at n_TOF EAR2. Until this experiment and two recent measurements performed at J-PARC, there was only one set of data of the capture cross-sections of $^{246}$Cm and $^{248}$Cm, that was obtained in 1969 in an underground nuclear explosion experiment. In the measurement at n_TOF a total of 13 resonances of $^{246}$Cm between 4 and 400 eV and 5 of $^{248}$Cm between 7 and 100 eV have been identified and fitted. The radiative kernels obtained for $^{246}$Cm are compatible with JENDL-5, but some of them are not with JENDL-4, which has been adopted by JEFF-3.3 and ENDF/B-VIII.0. The radiative kernels obtained for the first three $^{248}$Cm resonances are compatible with JENDL-5, however, the other two are not compatible with any other evaluation and are 20% and 60% larger than JENDL-5.

AMoRE searches for the signature of neutrinoless double beta decay of $^{100}$Mo with a 100 kg sample of enriched $^{100}$Mo. Scintillating molybdate crystals coupled with a metallic magnetic calorimeter operate at milli-Kelvin temperatures to measure the energy of electrons emitted in the decay. As a demonstration of the full-scale AMoRE, we conducted AMoRE-I, a pre-experiment with 18 molybdate crystals, at the Yangyang Underground Laboratory for over two years. The exposure was 8.02 kg$cdot$year (or 3.89 kg$_{mathrm{^{100}Mo}}cdot$year) and the total background rate near the Q-value was 0.025 $pm$ 0.002 counts/keV/kg/year.

High-energy nuclear collisions create a quark-gluon plasma, whose initial condition and subsequent expansion vary from event to event, impacting the distribution of the event-wise average transverse momentum ($P([p_{mathrm{T}}])$). Distinguishing between contributions from fluctuations in the size of the nuclear overlap area (geometrical component) and other sources at fixed size (intrinsic component) presents a challenge. Here, these two components are distinguished by measuring the mean, variance, and skewness of $P([p_{mathrm{T}}])$ in $^{208}$Pb+$^{208}$Pb and $^{129}$Xe+$^{129}$Xe collisions at $sqrt{s_{{mathrm{NN}}}} = 5.02$ and 5.44 TeV, respectively, using the ATLAS detector at the LHC. All observables show distinct changes in behavior in ultra-central collisions, where the geometrical variations are suppressed as the overlap area reaches its maximum. These results demonstrate a new technique to disentangle geometrical and intrinsic fluctuations, enabling constraints on initial condition and properties of the quark-gluon plasma, such as the speed of sound.

Purpose: Single-neutron adding data was collected in order to determine the distribution of the single-neutron strength of the $0f_{7/2}$, $1p_{3/2}$, $1p_{1/2}$ and $0f_{5/2}$ orbitals outside of $Z=16, N=18$, $^{34}$S. Methods: The $^{34}$S($d$,$p$)$^{35}$S reaction has been measured at 8 MeV/u to investigate cross sections to excited states in $^{35}$S. Outgoing proton yields and momenta were analyzed by the Super-Enge Split-Pole Spectrograph in conjunction with the CeBrA demonstrator located at the John D. Fox Laboratory at Florida State University. Angular distributions were compared with Distorted Wave Born Approximation calculations in order to extract single-neutron spectroscopic overlaps. Results: Spectroscopic overlaps and strengths were determined for states in $^{35}$S up through 6~MeV in excitation energy. Each orbital was observed to have fragmented strength where a single level carried the majority. The single-neutron centroids of the $0f_{7/2}$, $1p_{3/2}$, $1p_{1/2}$ and $0f_{5/2}$ orbitals were determined to be $2360^{+90}_{-40}$~keV, $3280^{+80}_{-50}$~keV, $4780^{+60}_{-40}$~keV, and $gtrsim7500$~keV, respectively. Conclusion: A previous discrepancy in the literature with respect to distribution of the neutron $1p_{1/2}$ strength was resolved. The integration of the normalized spectroscopic strengths, up to 5.1~MeV in excitation energy, revealed fully-vacant occupancies for the $0f_{7/2}$, $1p_{3/2}$, and $1p_{1/2}$ orbitals, as expected. The spacing in the single-neutron energies highlighted a reduction in the traditional $N=28$ shell-gap, relative to both the $1p$ spin-orbit energy difference ($N=32$) and the lower limit on the $N=34$ shell spacing.

Nuclear medium effects on B$^+$ meson production are studied using the binary-collision scaled cross section ratio between events of different multiplicities from proton-lead collisions. Data, collected by the CMS experiment in 2016 at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of $sqrt{s_mathrm{NN}}$ = 8.16 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 175 nb$^{-1}$, were used. The scaling factors in the ratio are determined using a novel approach based on the Z $to$ $mu^+mu^-$ cross sections measured in the same events. The scaled ratio for B$^+$ is consistent with unity for all event multiplicities, putting stringent constraints on nuclear modification for heavy flavor.

The isomeric ratios of $^{198}$Au, $^{197}$Hg and $^{195}$Hg produced by $alpha$-particle induced reactions on natural platinum were investigated experimentally up to 29 MeV by using the standard stacked foil activation technique and $gamma$-ray spectrometry. The isomeric ratios of $^{197}$Hg and $^{195}$Hg determined by the conventional activation cross section formula showed strong cooling time dependence. The time dependence was resolved by adjusting the isomeric transition branching ratios for the two isotopes within a simultaneous decay curve analysis framework. Our analysis suggests 94.5$pm$0.7% and 48.9$pm$1.8% as the isomeric transition branching ratios of $^{197m}$Hg (24 h) and $^{195m}$Hg (42 h), respectively. The isomeric ratios and independent production cross sections of $^{198}$Au, $^{197}$Hg, $^{195}$Hg and some other Hg, Au and Pt isotopes were also measured down to 6 MeV with these corrected isomeric transition branching ratios, and compared with predictions of statistical and pre-equilibrium models by TALYS-2.0 to discuss spin cuto? parameter dependence. We found the measured isomeric ratios are better predicted if we reduce the spin cuto? parameter to half or less from that estimated with the rigid body moment of inertia.
