Experimental evidence for the emission of high-energy gamma-rays from the dinuclear system formed at the first stage of the fusion reactionsnatSn+20Ne (164, 196 MeV)

In the^natSn+²⁰Ne (164,196 MeV) reactions gamma-ray spectra were observed in coincidence with fast alpha particles forward peaked and with those evaporated into a backward hemisphere. The observed differences in the form of the gamma-ray spectra and in the corresponding yields of high-energy gamma-rays are preliminary related to the time evolution of the deformation of the nuclear systems formed in the heavy ion induced fusion reaction.

Calculation of the Refractive Indices of M1-xRxF2+x Crystals (M = Ca, Sr, Ba, Cd, Pb; R are Rare Earth Elements)

It is shown that the refractive indices of two-component M _1-x R _x F_2+x crystals (M = Ca, Sr, Ba, Cd, Pb; R = La-Lu, Y; 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) can be calculated with a rather high accuracy in a wide spectral range (depending on the rare-earth-element content) using molecular refraction additivity for the components.     

Excitation functions for 44Sc, 46Sc, and 47Sc radionuclides produced in the interaction of 45Sc with deuterons and 6He

Experimental excitation functions are presented for ⁴⁵Sc(d, p)⁴⁶Sc, ⁴⁵Sc(d, t)⁴⁴Sc, ⁴⁵Sc(⁶He, ⁵He*)⁴⁶Sc and ⁴⁵Sc(6He, α)⁴⁷Sc reactions at projectile energies near the Coulomb barrier. The obtained excitation functions for reactions ⁴⁵Sc(d, p)⁴⁶Sc and ⁴⁵Sc(⁶He, ⁵He*)⁴⁶Sc have similar behavior and have a maxima near the Coulomb barriers of these reactions. The compilation of the available experimental data, obtained at deuteron- and ⁶He-energies near the Coulomb barrier, showed that the values of the cross sections at the maxima of the excitation functions obtained in (d, p) reactions and the reactions for one-neutron pickup from the ⁶He projectiles have a different Z-dependence.     

Cluster states in the neutron excess nucleus 22Ne

High-spin states of the ²²Ne nucleus in the excitation energy range of 15–30 MeV have been studied. The angular correlation method has been used to determine the spins of excited states. A number of new states with high angular momenta—20.0 MeV (9^?), 20.7 MeV (11^?), 21.6 MeV (9^?), 22.2 MeV (12⁺), and 25.0 MeV (9^?)—have been revealed. They are intensely populated in the reaction ¹⁴C(¹²C, α₁)²²Ne* → α₂ + ¹⁸O and correspond to the rotational bands of various structures.     

Short-range fundamental forces

We consider theoretical motivations to search for extra short-range fundamental forces as well as experiments constraining their parameters. The forces could be of two types: 1) spin-independent forces; 2) spin-dependent axion-like forces. Different experimental techniques are sensitive in respective ranges of characteristic distances. The techniques include measurements of gravity at short distances, searches for extra interactions on top of the Casimir force, precision atomic and neutron experiments. We focus on neutron constraints, thus the range of characteristic distances considered here corresponds to the range accessible for neutron experiments.     

Rinneite,K3Na[FeCl6], at 293, 84 and 9.5 K

The crystal structure of tripotassium sodium hexa­chloro­ferrate(II) has been determined by X‐ray diffraction at 293, 84 and 9.5 K. The accurate and extensive data sets collected should be suitable for charge–density analysis studies.
