134. Recent highlights and prospects on (n,γ) measurements at the CERN n_TOF facility

Jorge Lerendegui-Marco (Instituto de Física Corpuscular (CSIC-UV))

Experimental Techniques

Invited Oral

Neutron capture cross-section measurements are fundamental in the study of astrophysical phenomena, such as the slow neutron capture (s-) process of nucleosynthesis operating in red-giant and massive stars. One of the best suited methods to measure neutron capture (n,γ) cross sections over the full stellar range of interest is the time-of-flight (TOF) technique.

TOF neutron capture...

137. Quadrupole-octupole coupling and the onset of octupole collectivity

Prof. Kosuke Nomura (Hokkaido University)

Theoretical Nuclear Structure

Invited Oral

Octupole deformations and related collective phenomena are studied using the framework of nuclear density functional theory. Axially-symmetric quadrupole-octupole constrained self-consistent mean-field calculations with a choice of universal energy density functional are performed for actinides, Xe, Ba, Ce, and Nd isotopes from proton-rich to neutron-rich sides, and neutron-rich Ge, Se, and...

123. Neutron transfer (d,p) reactions to inform neutron capture

Jolie Cizewski (Rutgers University)

Experimental Nuclear Structure

Invited Oral

Essentially all of the elements heavier than iron are synthesized via neutron capture through slow (s) and rapid (r) nucleosynthesis processes. Since both the neutron and many of the isotopes involved in these nucleosynthetic processes are unstable, direct measurements of neutron capture reactions are in most cases not feasible, especially when half-lives are much less than 100 days. ...

54. Status of nuclear spectroscopy program at center for exotic nuclear studies

Dr Yung Hee Kim (Center for Exotic Nuclear Studies, Institute for Basic Science )

Experimental Techniques

Invited Oral

Center for exotic nuclear study in institute of basic science was recently founded to study fundamental questions in astrophysics and nuclear physics through investigations of radioactive atomic nuclei. The center is composed of four groups experimental nuclear structure, experimental nuclear reaction, experimental nuclear astrophysics and nuclear theory.
In the experimental groups, many...
