New measurements at UMass Lowell Research Reactor revealed discrepancies in current data essential to many applications. We are set to remeasure new data on gamma rays from thermal neutron capture on ...

Nuclear cluster states represent a remarkable departure from the traditional view of nuclei as uniformly distributed collections of nucleons. Instead, they reveal that under certain conditions ...

Nucleons, comprising protons and neutrons, are not elementary particles but are built from quarks and gluons held together by the strong nuclear force. At typical inter-nucleon distances, effective ...

The nuclear structure of titanium-48 changes from a shell model structure to an α-cluster structure based on the distance from the center of the nucleus. The world around us is made up of particles ...

Using the advanced GALILEO Array coupled with the 4π Si-ball EUCLIDES, the researchers conducted in-depth spectroscopic analysis to track and identify the reactions. The gamma-gamma coincidence method ...
