Kay, Benjamin (Ed.)Since its foundation in the 1960s, the John D. Fox Superconducting Linear Accelerator Laboratory at Florida State University (FSU) pursued research at the forefront of nuclear science. In this contribution, we present recent highlights from nuclear structure and reaction studies conducted at the John D. Fox Superconducting Linear Accelerator Laboratory, also featuring the general experimental capabilities at the laboratory for particle- coincidence experiments. Specifically, we focus on light-ion induced reactions measured with the Super-Enge Split-Pole Spectrograph (SE-SPS) and the CATRiNA neutron detectors, respectively. Some results obtained with the CeBrA demonstrator for particle- coincidence experiments at the SE-SPS are presented. A highlight from the first experimental campaigns with the combined CLARION2-TRINITY setup, showing that weak reaction channels can be selected, is discussed as well.more » « lessFree, publicly-accessible full text available December 20, 2025

This white paper is the result of a collaboration by many of those that attended a workshop at the facility for rare isotope beams (FRIB), organized by the FRIB Theory Alliance (FRIB-TA), on ‘Theoretical Justifications and Motivations for Early High-Profile FRIB Experiments’. It covers a wide range of topics related to the science that will be explored at FRIB. After a brief introduction, the sections address: section 2: Overview of theoretical methods, section 3: Experimental capabilities, section 4: Structure, section 5: Near-threshold Physics, section 6: Reaction mechanisms, section 7: Nuclear equations of state, section 8: Nuclear astrophysics, section 9: Fundamental symmetries, and section 10: Experimental design and uncertainty quantification.more » « lessFree, publicly-accessible full text available May 6, 2026

Abstract Emperor penguins (Aptenodytes forsteri) are under increasing environmental pressure. Monitoring colony size and population trends of this Antarctic seabird relies primarily on satellite imagery recorded near the end of the breeding season, when light conditions levels are sufficient to capture images, but colony occupancy is highly variable. To correct population estimates for this variability, we develop a phenological model that can predict the number of breeding pairs and fledging chicks, as well as key phenological events such as arrival, hatching and foraging times, from as few as six data points from a single season. The ability to extrapolate occupancy from sparse data makes the model particularly useful for monitoring remotely sensed animal colonies where ground-based population estimates are rare or unavailable.more » « less

With growing populations and pressing environmental problems, future economies will be increasingly plant-based. Now is the time to reimagine plant science as a critical component of fundamental science, agriculture, environmental stewardship, energy, technology and healthcare. This effort requires a conceptual and technological framework to identify and map all cell types, and to comprehensively annotate the localization and organization of molecules at cellular and tissue levels. This framework, called the Plant Cell Atlas (PCA), will be critical for understanding and engineering plant development, physiology and environmental responses. A workshop was convened to discuss the purpose and utility of such an initiative, resulting in a roadmap that acknowledges the current knowledge gaps and technical challenges, and underscores how the PCA initiative can help to overcome them.more » « less
