Nuclear Level Density and the Determination of Thermonuclear Rates for Astrophysics
1997
The prediction of cross sections for nuclei far off stability is crucial in the field of nuclear astrophysics. We discuss the model mostly employed for such calculations: the statistical model (Hauser-Feshbach). Special emphasis is put on the uncertainties arising from nuclear level density descriptions and an improved global description is presented. Furthermore, criteria for the applicability of the statistical model are investigated and a "map" for the applicability of the model to reactions of stable and unstable nuclei with neutral and charged particles is given.
Coulomb displacement energies as a probe for nucleon pairing in the $f_{7/2}$ shell
2014
Coulomb displacement energies of $T=1/2$ mirror nuclei have been studied via a series of high-precision $Q_\mathrm{EC}$-value measurements with the double Penning trap mass spectrometer JYFLTRAP. Most recently, the $Q_\mathrm{EC}$ values of the $f_{7/2}$-shell mirror nuclei $^{45}$V ($Q_\mathrm{EC}=7123.82(22)$ keV) and $^{49}$Mn ($Q_\mathrm{EC}=7712.42(24)$ keV) have been measured with an unprecedented precision. The data reveal a 16-keV ($1.6\sigma$) offset in the adopted Atomic Mass Evaluation 2012 value of $^{49}$Mn suggesting the need for further measurements to verify the breakdown of the quadratic form of the isobaric multiplet mass equation. Precisely measured $Q_\mathrm{EC}$ values…
Electron Scattering Experiments at the Mainz 300 MeV Linear Accelerator
1970
The Mainz electron scattering facility provides energies between 80 and 300 MeV and scattering angles up to 158° which corres-pond to a useful momentum transfer region 0.4 ≤ q ≤ 3.0 fm−1. The accelerator and analyzing system produce approximately 1 μA average current with the overall resolution in the final spectra of usually 0.15% to 0.30%.
Mass ofAl23for testing the isobaric multiplet mass equation
2009
The mass excess of the proton-rich nucleus $^{23}\mathrm{Al}$ has been measured with the JYFLTRAP Penning trap setup. As a result of our experiment we obtain a mass excess of 6748.07(34) keV, and by combining the value to existing experimental data we have tested the validity of the isobaric multiplet mass equation $(\mathrm{IMME})$ for the $T=3/2$ quartet in the $A=23$ isobar. The fit to the IMME results in a vanishing cubic term equivalent to zero with high precision [$0.22(42)$ keV].
Mass of astrophysically relevantCl31and the breakdown of the isobaric multiplet mass equation
2016
The mass of $^{31}\mathrm{Cl}$ has been measured with the JYFLTRAP double-Penning-trap mass spectrometer at the Ion Guide Isotope Separator On-Line (IGISOL) facility. The determined mass-excess value, $\ensuremath{-}7034.7(34)$ keV, is 15 times more precise than in the Atomic Mass Evaluation 2012. The quadratic form of the isobaric multiplet mass equation for the $T=3/2$ quartet at $A=31$ fails $({\ensuremath{\chi}}_{n}^{2}=11.6)$ and a nonzero cubic term, $d=\ensuremath{-}3.5(11)$ keV, is obtained when the new mass value is adopted. $^{31}\mathrm{Cl}$ has been found to be less proton-bound, with a proton separation energy of ${S}_{p}=264.6(34)$ keV. Energies for the excited states in $^{31…
New Information on Nuclear Structure in the Cd-In-Sn Region from Laser Spectroscopy and the Question of Core Polarization Contribution to Nuclear Rad…
1986
Nuclear spin, moments and isotope shifts of charge radii have been measured by laser spectroscopy for about 70 nuclear states in the range 48 ≦ Z ≦ 50, 54 ≦ N ≦ 78. 1/2--states in heavy In-isotopes cross the Schmidt line, indicating complex nuclear structure. Magnetic as well as spectroscopic quadrupole moments of most of the odd odd In-isotopes can be reproduced satisfactorily by coupling the respective experimental moments of odd even and even odd neighbouring nuclei. The isotope shift of all three elements exhibits a parabolic shape, which is superimposed to the almost linear droplet model expectation. The shape can be fitted quantitatively to Talmis core polarization model. The curvatur…
The dynamical equation of the effective gluon mass
2011
In this article we derive the integral equation that controls the momentum dependence of the effective gluon mass in the Landau gauge. This is accomplished by means of a well-defined separation of the corresponding "one-loop dressed" Schwinger-Dyson equation into two distinct contributions, one associated with the mass and one with the standard kinetic part of the gluon. The entire construction relies on the existence of a longitudinally coupled vertex of nonperturbative origin, which enforces gauge invariance in the presence of a dynamical mass. The specific structure of the resulting mass equation, supplemented by the additional requirement of a positive-definite gluon mass, imposes a rat…
High-precision mass measurements for the isobaric multiplet mass equation atA= 52
2017
Masses of $^{52}$Co, $^{52}$Co$^m$, $^{52}$Fe, $^{52}$Fe$^m$, and $^{52}$Mn have been measured with the JYFLTRAP double Penning trap mass spectrometer. Of these, $^{52}$Co and $^{52}$Co$^m$ have been experimentally determined for the first time and found to be more bound than predicted by extrapolations. The isobaric multiplet mass equation for the $T=2$ quintet at $A=52$ has been studied employing the new mass values. No significant breakdown (beyond the $3\sigma$ level) of the quadratic form of the IMME was observed ($\chi^2/n=2.4$). The cubic coefficient was 6.0(32) keV ($\chi^2/n=1.1$). The excitation energies for the isomer and the $T=2$ isobaric analogue state in $^{52}$Co have been d…
