被引用回数：2 パーセンタイル：57.65(Physics, Nuclear)-delayed neutron emission was observed in the study of the decay of 
In at ISOLDE CERN. Neutron emission probabilities from the unbound states in Sn to known low-lying, single-particle states in 
Sn were measured. The neutron energies were determined using the time-of-flight technique and the decay from excited states in Sn was studied by detecting its 
rays. Individual -delayed neutron emission probabilities were determined by correlating the relative intensities and energies of neutrons and rays. The new results suggest the violation of the assumption that neutrons are emitted statistically via the intermediate compound nucleus. This impacts the neutron-emission probabilities and other properties of nuclei participating in the 
-process. A model of neutron emission, which links the observed neutron emission probabilities to nuclear shell effects, is proposed.

被引用回数：16 パーセンタイル：89.22(Physics, Nuclear)Combining laser spectroscopy with Penning-trap mass spectroscopy at the Isolde facility at CERN, the charge radii of neutron-rich mercury isotopes 
Hg were successfully measured. Furthermore, more precise values for the masses of 
Hg was obtained, as well as the magnetic moment of 
Hg. These results were used to understand the systematics of Hg isotopes across the =126 shell closure. Comparison with covariant density functional theory calculations revealed that in particular the 1
and 2
neutron orbitals affect the evolution of charge radii.

被引用回数：110 パーセンタイル：96.95(Physics, Multidisciplinary)In rare cases, the removal of a single proton (Z) or neutron (N) from an atomic nucleus leads to a dramatic shape change. These instances are crucial for understanding the components of the nuclear interactions that drive deformation. The mercuryisotopes (Z = 80) are a striking example: their close neighbours, the lead isotopes (Z = 82), are spherical and steadily shrink with decreasing N. The even-mass (A = N + Z) mercury isotopes follow this trend. The odd-mass mercury isotopes 
Hg, however, exhibit noticeably larger charge radii. Due to the experimental difficulties of probing extremely neutron-deficient systems, and the computational complexity of modelling such heavy nuclides, the microscopic origin of this unique shape staggering has remained unclear. Here, by applying resonance ionization spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and nuclear spectroscopy as far as 
Hg, we determine 
Hg as the shape-staggering endpoint. By combining our experimental measurements with Monte Carlo shell model calculations, we conclude that this phenomenon results from the interplay between monopole and quadrupole interactions driving a quantum phase transition, for which we identify the participating orbitals. Although shape staggering in the mercury isotopes is a unique and localized feature in the nuclear chart, it nicely illustrates the concurrence of single-particle and collective degrees of freedom at play in atomic nuclei.

larger than previously held, leading to a substantial increase in . Our revised value for is in good agreement with the value obtained in -transfer studies and the weighted average of the two gives a robust and precise determination of , which provides significantly improved constraints on the C(,)O cross section in the energy range relevant to hydro static He burning.

被引用回数：29 パーセンタイル：57.33(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Nuclear data in general, and neutron-induced reaction cross sections in particular, are important for a wide variety of research fields. They play a key role in the safety and criticality assessment of nuclear technology, not only for existing power reactors but also for radiation dosimetry, medical applications, the transmutation of nuclear waste, accelerator-driven systems, fuel cycle investigations and future reactor systems as in Generation IV. Applications of nuclear data are also related to research fields as the study of nuclear level densities and stellar nucleosynthesis. Simulations and calculations of nuclear technology applications largely rely on evaluated nuclear data libraries. The evaluations in these libraries are based both on experimental data and theoretical models. CERN's neutron time-of-flight facility, n_TOF, has produced a considerable amount of experimental data since it has become fully operational with the start of the scientific measurement program in 2001. While for a long period a single measurement station (EAR1) located at 185 m from the neutron production target was available, the construction of a second beam line at 20 m (EAR2) in 2014 has substantially increased the measurement capabilities of the facility. An outline of the experimental nuclear data activities at n_TOF will be presented.

被引用回数：72 パーセンタイル：92.59(Physics, Multidisciplinary)The energy spacing between the spin-doublet bound state of He
was determined to be 
keV, by measuring rays for the 
transition with a high efficiency germanium detector array in coincidence with the 
He reaction at J-PARC. In comparison to the corresponding energy spacing in the mirror hypernucleus H, the present result clearly indicates the existence of charge symmetry breaking (CSB) in interaction. By combining the energy spacings with the known ground-state binding energies, it is also found that the CSB effect is large in the 
ground state but is vanishingly small in the 
excited state, demonstrating that the CSB interaction has spin dependence.
