Decay of neutron-rich Ga isotopes near N = 50 at PARRNe

The PARRNe facility has been used to produce neutron-rich isotopes ^83,84Gaby the ISOL method. Their decay has been studied, and β-γ coincidence and γ-γ coincidence data were collected as a function of time. The first two excited levels in ⁸³Ge and the first excited level in ⁸⁴Ge have been measured for the first time.     

Real Paley-Wiener theorems associated with the weinstein operator

In this paper we use real analysis techniques to establish a new real Paley-Wiener theorems for the Fourier-Bessel transform associated with the Weinstein operator. More precisely we characterize the C ^∞-functions whose image under the Fourier-Bessel transform are functions with compact support through an L ^p growth condition, p ∈ [1, +∞] and we give another version of the real Paley-Wiener theorem for L ²-functions.     

The LPCTrap experiment: measurement of the β–ν angular correlation in 6He using a transparent Paul trap

We report on the status of the LPCTrap experiment, devoted to measure the β–ν angular correlation in the pure Gamow–Teller decay of ⁶He. This measurement is motivated by the search for the presence of tensor type contributions to the weak interaction. The ⁶He ions are confined in a novel transparent Paul trap. The β particles and the recoil ions are detected in coincidence to deduce the angular correlation parameter. The commissioning run performed in 2005 has given the proof of principle of this experiment. Up to 10⁵ coincidences were recorded during a second run in 2006.     

Stable products of spheres in the non-linear coupling of oscillators or quasi-periodic motions

For generic families of vector fields or transformations, normally hyperbolic invariant products of spheres appear near partially elliptic rest points. To cite this article: M. Kammerer-Colin de Verdière, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 339 (2004).     

Trois formulations d'un modèle de plasma quasi-neutre avec courant non nul

In this Note, we propose three formulations of a model describing a quasi-neutral plasma with non-vanishing current. In order to study and compare the numerical efficiency of each formulation, two test-problems are implemented in one dimension. The first is a periodic perturbation of a uniform stationary plasma. The second is a case of plasma expansion in vacuum between two electrodes. To cite this article: P. Crispel et al., C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 338 (2004).     

Weak density of smooth maps for the Dirichlet energy between manifolds

We prove that given a simply connected compact manifold M and a closed manifold N, any map in the Sobolev space W ^1,2(M,N) can be approximated weakly by smooth maps between M and N. Submitted: September 2002, Final version: November 2002.     

Genericity of the Morse-Smale Property for Damped Wave Equations

We prove that for damped hyperbolic equations the Morse-Smale property (hyperbolicity of equilibria and transversal intersection of stable and unstable manifolds) is generic. More precisely, we prove that in an appropriate functional space of nonlinear terms in the equation, the set of functions for which the latter has the Morse-Smale property is residual, i.e., it is a countable intersection of open dense sets. The result extends a similar result proved in [1] for reaction diffusion equations. However, because of the absence of knowledge about nodal sets of polutions new ideas were needed in the proof.     

Lagrangian skeletons,periodic geodesic flows and symplectic cuttings

In this paper, we investigate symplectic manifolds endowed with a Morse–Bott function with only two critical submanifolds, one of which is Lagrangian while the other one is symplectic.
