Unified description of 2+_1 states within the deformed quasiparticle random-phase approximation
2013
We describe low-lying collective states in deformed even-even nuclei within a deformed quasiparticle random-phase approximation (dQRPA) by using a single-particle basis with good angular momentum. The statistical factors, accounting for the level occupancy, appear in the dQRPA in a natural way as rotation coefficients that take the intrinsic system to the laboratory system. We have used our model by performing a systematic analysis of E2 transitions from the first ${2}^{+}$ state to the ground state for all superfluid nuclei in the range $50lZ\ensuremath{\le}100$ by using a common charge polarization parameter $\ensuremath{\chi}=0.2$. In spite of its similarity to the QRPA, this method is a…
61Ni Mössbauer study of the surface hyperfine magnetic field in nickel
1988
61Ni Mossbauer measurements have been performed at 4.2 K on spherical Ni particles with an average diameter of 100 and 30 A, covered with a protective layer of SiO. Their spectra contain a surface component with a significantly reduced hyperfine magnetic field as compared with the field in the bulk. This result confirms recent theoretical predictions.
Ab initio calculations for the polar (0 0 1) surfaces of YAlO3
2018
Abstract The results of ab initio calculations of polar YAlO3 (0 0 1) surfaces by means of a hybrid B3LYP exchange-correlation functional as it is implemented in the CRYSTAL computer code are presented. Both polar YO and AlO2-terminations of the cubic YAlO3 (0 0 1) surface were considered. We performed relaxation of atoms on the upper three layers of both YO and AlO2-terminated YAlO3 (0 0 1) surfaces using in our calculations slabs containing 22 and 23 atoms as well as 9 layers, respectively. We predict a significant increase of the Al-O chemical bond covalency on the AlO2-terminated YAlO3 (0 0 1) surface with respect to the YAlO3 bulk. Our calculated YO and AlO2-terminated YAlO3 polar (0 0…

Characterization of the Microshell Surface Using Holography
2011
AbstractTo characterize the shape, the quality, and the roughness of microshells, digital holographic microscopy technology is used because it offers an appropriate ability to these studies. It captures holograms to reconstruct a double image, one for the intensity and another one for the phase. Using rotation axis, bump counting for the complete microshell surface is possible with a very high speed. Using image stitching and three-dimensional surface rebuilding software, mapping can be done in a few minutes. Each bump can then be characterized on the map by its position, diameter, and height.
Isotopic Effects and Surface Absorption in $^{35-37}$Cl+$^{24}$Mg Interactions
1992
Abstract The few-nucleon transfer is found to play an important role in the isotopic effects observed in absorption. This conclusion is obtained by measuring elastic scattering and quasielastic reactions and by analysing elastic data with both phenomenological and microscopic models. The sensitivity domain is found to be different for imaginary and real potentials. The implication for the validity of the dispersion relation for phenomenological potentials at the real sensitivity radius, when transfers are important, is discussed.

A measurement of the K-S lifetime
2002
A measurement of the K_S lifetime is presented using data recorded by the NA48 experiment at the CERN-SPS during 1998 and 1999. The K_S lifetime is derived from the ratio of decay time distributions in simultaneous, collinear K_S and K_L beams, giving a result which is approximately independent of the detector acceptance and with reduced systematic errors. The result obtained is tau_S=(0.89598 +- 0.00048 +- 0.00051)x10^(-10) s, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic.
Observation ofηc(1S)andηc(2S)decays toK+K−π+π−π0in two-photon interactions
2011
We study the processes γγ→K_S^0K^±π^∓ and γγ→K^+K^-π^+π-π^0 using a data sample of 519.2fb^(-1) recorded by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e^+e^- collider at center-of-mass energies near the Υ(nS) (n=2, 3, 4) resonances. We observe the η_c(1S), χ_(c0)(1P) and η_c(2S) resonances produced in two-photon interactions and decaying to K^+K^-π^+π^-π^0, with significances of 18.1, 5.4 and 5.3 standard deviations (including systematic errors), respectively, and report 4.0σ evidence of the χ_(c2)(1P) decay to this final state. We measure the η_c(2S) mass and width in K_S^0K^±π^∓ decays, and obtain the values m(η_c(2S))=3638.5±1.5±0.8 MeV/c^2 and Γ(η_c(2S))=13.4±4.6±3.2 MeV, wher…
Error Estimates of Theoretical Models: a Guide
2014
This guide offers suggestions/insights on uncertainty quantification of nuclear structure models. We discuss a simple approach to statistical error estimates, strategies to assess systematic errors, and show how to uncover inter-dependencies by correlation analysis. The basic concepts are illustrated through simple examples. By providing theoretical error bars on predicted quantities and using statistical methods to study correlations between observables, theory can significantly enhance the feedback between experiment and nuclear modeling.
