Classification of gravitational-wave glitches via dictionary learning
2018
We present a new method for the classification of transient noise signals (or glitches) in advanced gravitational-wave interferometers. The method uses learned dictionaries (a supervised machine learning algorithm) for signal denoising, and untrained dictionaries for the final sparse reconstruction and classification. We use a data set of 3000 simulated glitches of three different waveform morphologies, comprising 1000 glitches per morphology. These data are embedded in non-white Gaussian noise to simulate the background noise of advanced LIGO in its broadband configuration. Our classification method yields a 96% accuracy for a large range of initial parameters, showing that learned diction…
JUNO sensitivity to low energy atmospheric neutrino spectra
2021
Atmospheric neutrinos are one of the most relevant natural neutrino sources that can be exploited to infer properties about cosmic rays and neutrino oscillations. The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) experiment, a 20 kton liquid scintillator detector with excellent energy resolution is currently under construction in China. JUNO will be able to detect several atmospheric neutrinos per day given the large volume. A study on the JUNO detection and reconstruction capabilities of atmospheric $\nu_e$ and $\nu_\mu$ fluxes is presented in this paper. In this study, a sample of atmospheric neutrino Monte Carlo events has been generated, starting from theoretical models, and then pro…

New Nuclear Magnetic Moment of Bi209 : Resolving the Bismuth Hyperfine Puzzle
2018
A recent measurement of the hyperfine splitting in the ground state of Li-like ${^{208}\mathrm{Bi}}^{80+}$ has established a ``hyperfine puzzle''---the experimental result exhibits a $7\ensuremath{\sigma}$ deviation from the theoretical prediction [J. Ullmann et al., Nat. Commun. 8, 15484 (2017); J. P. Karr, Nat. Phys. 13, 533 (2017)]. We provide evidence that the discrepancy is caused by an inaccurate value of the tabulated nuclear magnetic moment (${\ensuremath{\mu}}_{I}$) of $^{209}\mathrm{Bi}$. We perform relativistic density functional theory and relativistic coupled cluster calculations of the shielding constant that should be used to extract the value of ${\ensuremath{\mu}}_{I}(^{209…
Breakdown of the Reduction of the Rovibrational Hamiltonian: The Case of S18O2F2
2009
Abstract The ground state rotational spectrum of the near-spherical top molecule S18O2F2 (sulfuryl fluoride) has been measured from 50 to 700 GHz. As for the parent isotopologue, S16O2F2 [K. Sarka, J. Demaison, L. Margules, I. Merke, N. Heineking, H. Burger, H. Ruland, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 200 (2000) 55–64], it was necessary to use a non-reduced Hamiltonian in order to obtain a satisfactory fit. It was possible to determine six quartic centrifugal distortion constants (instead of five for a standard asymmetric top) and five sextic constants (one of them not existing in the reduced Hamiltonian) could also be determined. This ground state level has also been analysed thanks to a tensorial forma…
Observation of the 2+ isomer in Co52
2016
We report the first observation of the ${2}^{+}$ isomer in $^{52}\mathrm{Co}$, produced in the $\ensuremath{\beta}$ decay of the ${0}^{+}$, $^{52}\mathrm{Ni}$ ground state. We have observed three $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ rays at 849, 1910, and 5185 keV characterizing the $\ensuremath{\beta}$ de-excitation of the isomer. We have measured a half-life of 102(6) ms for the isomeric state. The Fermi and Gamow-Teller transition strengths for the $\ensuremath{\beta}$ decay of $^{52m}\mathrm{Co}$ to $^{52}\mathrm{Fe}$ have been determined. We also add new information on the $\ensuremath{\beta}$ decay of the ${6}^{+}$, $^{52}\mathrm{Co}$ ground state, for which we have measured a half-life of 112(3) ms.
Experimental study of isomeric intruder 12+ states in At197,203
2017
A newly observed isomeric intruder ${\textonehalf{}}^{+}$ state $[{T}_{\textonehalf{}}=3.5(6)\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\mathrm{ms}]$ is identified in $^{203}\mathrm{At}$ using a gas-filled recoil separator and fusion-evaporation reactions. The isomer is depopulated through a cascade of $E3$ and mixed $M1/E2$ transitions to the ${9/2}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ ground state, and it is suggested to originate from the $\ensuremath{\pi}{({s}_{\textonehalf{}})}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ configuration. In addition, the structures above the ${\textonehalf{}}^{+}$ state in $^{203}\mathrm{At}$ and $^{197}\mathrm{At}$ are studied using in-beam $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-ray spectroscopy, recoil-decay tagging, and recoi…
C15 : From halo effective field theory structure to the study of transfer, breakup, and radiative-capture reactions
2019
Background: Aside from being a one-neutron halo nucleus, $^{15}\mathrm{C}$ is interesting because it is involved in reactions of relevance for several nucleosynthesis scenarios.Purpose: The aim of this work is to analyze various reactions involving $^{15}\mathrm{C}$, using a single structure model based on halo effective field theory (halo EFT) following the excellent results obtained in [P. Capel et al., Phys. Rev. C 98, 034610 (2018)].Method: To develop a halo-EFT model of $^{15}\mathrm{C}$ at next to leading order (NLO), we first extract the asymptotic normalization coefficient (ANC) of its ground state by analyzing $^{14}\mathrm{C}(d,p)^{15}\mathrm{C}$ transfer data at low energy using …
Measurement of the 2+→0+ ground-state transition in the β decay of F20
2019
We report the first detection of the second-forbidden, nonunique, 2+→0+, ground-state transition in the β decay of F20. A low-energy, mass-separated F+20 beam produced at the IGISOL facility in Jyvaskyla, Finland, was implanted in a thin carbon foil and the β spectrum measured using a magnetic transporter and a plastic-scintillator detector. The β-decay branching ratio inferred from the measurement is bβ=[0.41±0.08(stat)±0.07(sys)]×10-5 corresponding to logft=10.89(11), making this one of the strongest second-forbidden, nonunique β transitions ever measured. The experimental result is supported by shell-model calculations and has significant implications for the final evolution of stars tha…
