It was discovered in 2019 that the thermal neutron absorption cross section of zirconium-88 was roughly 800,000 barns when 10 barns was expected. This has set off a flurry of activity and interest in the nuclear community. This talk will describe the ongoing efforts to resolve this mystery. These activities include measurements of the metastable state of zirconium-89 at the University of Texas...
The SOFIA project relates to the measurement of fission yields. DUring the course 3 experiments run at GSI, we could investigate the fission of numerous fissioning systems, both close to the beta stability valley and , on the neutron deficient side, down to Platinium isotopes. I will sum up some key finding of the programme in my talk.
