A \(\beta \)-decay Study of the Low-spin Structure of \(^{98}\)Zr
A high-statistics \(\beta \)-decay experiment was conducted at the TRIUMF-ISAC facility using the \(8\pi \) \(\gamma \)-ray spectrometer and its ancillary detectors to study the low-spin structure of \(^{98}\)Zr. The analysis of \(\gamma \)–\(\gamma \) and \(e^-\)–\(\gamma \) coincidence data is presented. New measurements of \(\gamma \)-ray branching ratios and mixing ratios are reported for four \(J^{\pi } = 2^+\) states located above 2 MeV excitation energy in \(^{98}\)Zr. Based on these measurements, ratios of \(B\)(E2) values for transitions to lower-lying levels are determined, highlighting the preferential decay paths of these \(2^+\) states.

A campaign of Coulomb-excitation experiments to study the electromagnetic structure of \(^{110}\)Cd was performed using beams of \(^{14}\)N, \(^{32}\)S, and \(^{60}\)Ni. The use of various reaction partners enables disentangling the contributions of individual electromagnetic matrix elements involved in the excitation process, yielding, among others, a precise determination of the lifetime of the 2\(^+_2\) state in \(^{110}\)Cd.

A search for pair production of scalar and vector leptoquarks (LQs) each decaying to a muon and a bottom quark is performed using proton-proton collision data collected at with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of . No excess above standard model expectation is observed. Scalar (vector) LQs with masses less than 1810 (2120) GeV are excluded at 95% confidence level, assuming a 100% branching fraction of the LQ decaying to a muon and a bottom quark. These limits represent the most stringent to date. © 2024 CERN, for the CMS Collaboration2024CERNmore » « less

We present momentum resolved covariance measurements of entangled electronic-nuclear wave packets created and probed with octave spanning phaselocked ultrafast pulses. We launch vibrational wave packets on multiple electronic states via multiphoton absorption, and probe these wave packets via strong field double ionization using a second phaselocked pulse. Momentum resolved covariance mapping of the fragment ions highlights the nuclear motion, while measurements of the yield as a function of the relative phase between pump and probe pulses highlight the electronic coherence. The combined measurements allow us to directly visualize the entanglement between the electronic and nuclear degrees of freedom and follow the evolution of the complete wavefunction.

The ionic structure of high-pressure, high-temperature fluids is a challenging theoretical problem with applications to planetary interiors and fusion capsules. Here we report a multimessenger platform using velocimetry and angularly and spectrally resolved x-ray scattering to measure the thermodynamic conditions and ion structure factor of materials at extreme pressures. We document the pressure, density, and temperature of shocked silicon near with uncertainties of 6%, 2%, and 20%, respectively. The measurements are sufficient to distinguish between and rule out some ion screening models. Published by the American Physical Society2024more » « less
