Medium-spin structure of neutron-rich Pd and Cd isotopes
2003
Cadmium isotopes are traditionally considered as good examples of nearly spherical, vibrational nuclei, which can be described by quadrupole vibrators in the collective model, as well as the U(5) dynamical symmetry in the interacting boson model (IBM). However, the shape coexistence of more deformed intruder states originating from proton 2p–4h excitation across the Z = 50 major shell is another interesting structural aspect, whose presence in Pd-isotopes has also been demonstrated [1,2].
High-spin structure in the transitional nucleus Xe131 : Competitive neutron and proton alignment in the vicinity of the N=82 shell closure
2018
The transitional nucleus 131Xe is investigated after multinucleon transfer (MNT) in the 136Xe+208Pb and 136Xe+238U reactions employing the high-resolution Advanced GAmma Tracking Array (AGATA) coupled to the magnetic spectrometer PRISMA at the Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro, Italy and as an elusive reaction product in the fusion-evaporation reaction 124Sn(11B,p3n) 131Xe employing the HORUS γ-ray array coupled to a double-sided silicon strip detector (DSSSD) at the University of Cologne, Germany. The level scheme of 131Xe is extended to 5 MeV. A pronounced backbending is observed at ~ω ≈ 0.4 MeV along the negative-parity one-quasiparticle νh11/2(α = −1/2) band. The results are compared to t…
Analysis of the deuteron spin structure by COMPASS
2007
New results on the longitudinal inclusive spin asymmetry A 1 d in the range 1 Q 2 100 (GeV/c) 2 and 0.004 x 0.7 are presented. From these results we derive the spin-dependent structure function g 1 d which we include in a QCD analysis of the world data. The data were obtained by the COMPASS experiment at CERN using a 160 GeV polarized muon beam scattered off a large polarized 6 LiD target. The results are in agreement with those from previous experiments and improve considerably the statistical accuracy in the region 0.004 x 0.03 .
Charged-pion cross sections and double-helicity asymmetries in polarizedp+pcollisions ats=200 GeV
2015
We present midrapidity charged-pion invariant cross sections, the ratio of the pi(-) to pi(+) cross sections and the charge-separated double-spin asymmetries in polarized p + p collisions at root s = p + 200 GeV. While the cross section measurements are consistent within the errors of next-to-leading-order (NLO) perturbative quantum chromodynamics predictions (pQCD), the same calculations overestimate the ratio of the charged-pion cross sections. This discrepancy arises from the cancellation of the substantial systematic errors associated with the NLO-pQCD predictions in the ratio and highlights the constraints these data will place on flavor-dependent pion fragmentation functions. The char…
New results on the spin structure function g1 of the proton and the deuteron from SMC
1998
Abstract New results from a measurement of the spin-dependent structure function g 1 p by the SMC are presented. A next-to-leading order QCD analysis of all published data is used to compute g 1 p at a fixed Q 2 of 10 GeV 2 . Two methods for the extrapolation towards x = 0 to determine the first moment are discussed. In both cases the violation of the Ellis-Jaffe sum rule is confirmed. Using the deuteron data in addition the Bjorken sum rule is tested.
Shell Model Description of Spin-Dependent Elastic and Inelastic WIMP Scattering off 119Sn and 121Sb
2022
In this work, we calculate the spin structure functions for spin-dependent elastic and inelastic WIMP scattering off 119Sn and 121Sb. Estimates for detection rates are also given. 119Sn and 121Sb are amenable to nuclear structure calculations using the nuclear shell model (NSM). With the possible exception of 201Hg, they are the only such nuclei still unexplored theoretically for their potential of inelastic WIMP scattering to a very low excited state. The present calculations were conducted using a state-of-the-art WIMP–nucleus scattering formalism, and the available effective NSM two-body interactions describe the spectroscopic properties of these nuclei reasonably well.
