βdecay of102Y produced in projectile fission of238U
2012
The population of 102Zr following the β decay of 102Y produced in the projectile fission of 238U at the GSI facility in Darmstadt, Germany has been studied. 102Y is known to ß decay into 102Zr via two states, one of high spin and the other low spin. These states preferentially populate different levels in the 102Zr daughter. In this paper the intensities of transitions in 102Zr observed are compared with those from the decay of the low-spin level studied at the TRISTAN facility at Brookhaven National Laboratory and of the high-spin level studied at the JOSEF separator at the Kernforschungsanlage Jülich.
Reaction dynamics and nuclear structure studies via deep inelastic collisions with heavy-ions: spin and parity assignment in49Ca
2011
The population and gamma decay of neutron rich nuclei around 48Ca has been measured at Legnaro National Laboratory with the PRISMA-CLARA setup, using deep-inelastic collisions (DIC) on 64Ni, at an energy approximately twice the Coulomb barrier. The reaction properties of the main products are investigated, focusing on total cross sections and angular distributions both integrated in energy and associated to the population of specific excited states. Gamma spectroscopy studies are also performed, giving evidence, for the first time in transfer reactions with heavy ions, of a large spin alignment (~70%), perpendicular to the reaction plane. This makes possible the use of angular distributions…
Cluster Structure of $^9$Be by Scattering of Deuterons
2017
International audience; Angular distributions of protons, deuterons, tritons and alpha particles emitted in the reaction 2H+9Be at Elab=19.5 MeV were measured with an aim to shed light on the internal cluster structure of 9Be and to study possible cluster transfer of 5He. The analyses suggest a significant contribution of five-nucleon transfer in the reaction channel 9Be(d,4He)7Li.
From led light signboards to the Planck’s constant
2018
Recent studies have highlighted an alarming decline in young people’s interest towards the study of scientific subjects, often considered interesting but not easily understood and appreciated by students. In particular, the introduction of Modern Physics (MP) key-topics at secondary school level is a difficult and complex task because MP involves abstract ideas and requires a strong mathematical background. In this communication we present and discuss the results of an inquiry-based teaching/learning path aimed at surmounting the difficulties of an exclusively theoretical approach to the introduction of MP topics. In particular, we planned and realized an inquiry-driven learning environment…

On the renormalization of ultraviolet divergences in the inflationary angular power spectrum
2015
We revise the role of ultraviolet divergences of cosmological observables and the corresponding renormalization from a space-time perspective. We employ the two-point function of primordial perturbations generated during inflation to derive an analytic expression for the multipole coefficients Cl in the Sachs-Wolfe regime. We analyzethe ultraviolet behaviorand stress the fact that the standard result in the literature is equivalent to a renormalization of the two-point function at zeroth adiabatic order. We also argue that renormalization at second adiabatic order seems to be more appropriate from a physical point of view. This may change significantly the predictions for Cl, while maintain…
Testing the stage-discharge relationship of a sharp crested sluice gate deduced by the momentum equation for a free-flow condition
2018
Abstract In this paper the stage-discharge relationship of a sharp crested sluice gate is deduced by applying the momentum equation for a free flow condition. The theoretically deduced stage-discharge formula was then calibrated using experimental flume data obtained in previous investigations carried out for a free-flow condition. The deduced stage–discharge relationship is characterized by a momentum coefficient which is empirically estimated by the ratio between the height of the orifice and the water depth in the section upstream the gate. The relative errors are always less than or equal to - 10% to +10% and 71.4% of the errors are less than or equal to ± 2%.
Conductivity reconstructions using real data from a new planar electrical impedance tomography device
2013
Abstract In this paper, we present results of reconstructions using real data from a new planar electrical impedance tomography device developed at the Institut fur Physik, Johannes Gutenberg Universitat, Mainz, Germany. The prototype consists of a planar sensing head of circular geometry, and it was designed mainly for breast cancer detection. There are 12 large outer electrodes arranged on a ring of radius cm where the external currents are injected, and a set of 54 point-like high-impedance inner electrodes where the induced voltages are measured. Two direct (i.e. non-iterative) reconstruction algorithms are considered: one is based on a discrete resistor model, and the other one is an …
Double charge exchange reactions as a probe for neutrinoless double beta decay nuclear matrix elements
2020
Abstract The formalism to describe heavy-ion double charge exchange (DCE) processes in the eikonal and small-momentum transfer approximations introduced in Phys. Rev. C 98, 061601(R) (2018) is briefly discussed. It is also shown that, under the previous approximations, the heavy-ion DCE cross-section can be factorized in terms of a reaction and a nuclear part. A double charge exchange effective potential is explicitly derived in the closure approximation and also for the first time the explicit form of the DCE nuclear matrix elements, that are of the form of double Gamow-Teller and double Fermi. The recent hypothesis of a linear correlation between double Gamow-Teller neutrinoless double be…
