In the past, the mirror asymmetry parameter has been proposed as a probing mechanism for the presence of beyond the Standard Model second-class currents in nuclear beta decay transitions. However, this was hindered by large uncertainties in…
This paper presents a measurement of jet-track correlations in photon-jet events, using 1.72 nb$^{-1}$ of Pb+Pb data at $\sqrt{s_{\text{NN}}}$ = 5.02 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Events with energetic photon-jet pairs…
The radiative branching ratio of the Hoyle state is crucial to estimate the triple-$\alpha$ reaction rate in stellar environments at medium temperatures of $T=0.1$ to 2 GK. Knowledge of the $\gamma$-decay channel is critical as this is the…
Americium ($^{241}$Am) with an unpaired proton in the F$_{5/2}$ state exhibits a significant magnetic dipole moment. The dipole can be experimentally measured with application of even modest external magnetic fields, as little as 1G, as a…
Hard-jet correlations probe parton energy loss and the microscopic structure of the quark-gluon plasma formed in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The correlation of high-$p_\mathrm{T}$ jets with other jets, hadrons, or electroweak…
The NIFFTE fission Time Projection Chamber (fissionTPC) has been used to measure the $^{239}$Pu(n,f)/$^{235}$U(n,f) cross-section ratio for neutron-induced fission in the range of 0.1 - 100 MeV, with high precision. A white neutron source…
Hall D at Jefferson lab is an ideal place to install a polarized deuteron target which can be ''tensor polarized", allowing the separation of the spin states $m=0,\pm1$ or the measurement of tensor asymmetries. The bremsstrahlung photon…
The photoproduction of $\pi^+\pi^-$ meson pairs off the proton has been studied in the reaction $\gamma p\to p\,\pi^+\pi^-$ using the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) and the frozen-spin target (FROST) in Hall B at the Thomas…
Polonium isotopes having two protons above the shell closure at $Z=82$ show a wide variety of low-lying high-spin isomeric states across the whole chain. The structure of neutron-deficient isotopes up to $^{210}$Po ($N=126$) is well…
Spin-parity assignments of nuclear levels are critical for understanding nuclear structure and reactions. However, inconsistent notation conventions and ambiguous reporting in research papers often lead to confusion and misinterpretations.…
The Electron-Ion Collider, a next generation electron-hadron and electron-nuclei scattering facility, will be built at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The wealth of new data will shape research in hadron physics, from nonperturbative QCD…
The mass of the electron-antineutrino can be determined in dedicated measurements of the $\beta$ spectral shape near the $\beta$ endpoint of a $\beta^-$ transition, with a low $Q$ value enhancing the sensitivity of the measurement. One such…
The results of the study of unstable states in relativistic dissociation of isotopes $^{9,7}$Be, $^{10}$B, $^{12,11,10}$C, $^{14}$N and $^{16}$O in nuclear emulsion have been summarized. Their decays are identified in distributions by…
Photoproduction in ultra-peripheral relativistic heavy-ion collisions displays many unique features, often involving quantum mechanical coherence and two-source interference between photon emission from the two ions. We review the recent…
We present the first measurement of the $^{47}$K($d,p\gamma$)$^{48}$K transfer reaction, performed in inverse kinematics using a reaccelerated beam of $^{47}$K. The level scheme of $^{48}$K has been greatly extended with nine new bound…
We report the measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry in the N to $\Delta$ transition via the $e^- + p \rightarrow e^- + \Delta ^+$ reaction at two different kinematic points with low four-momentum transfer Q$^2$. Measurements were…
The semi-magic $^{110-122}\mathrm{Sn}$ isotopes display signs of shape coexistence in their excited $0^+$ states, which, in contrast to the spherical $0^+$ ground states, are deformed. This paper investigates the nuclear structure of…
For the first time the neutron-rich hydrogen isotope $\rm ^{6}H$ was produced in an electron scattering experiment in the reaction $\rm ^{7}Li(e,~e'p\pi^{+})^{6}H$ using the spectrometer facility of the A1 Collaboration at the Mainz…
The future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will operate a series of high-luminosity high-energy electron+proton ($e+p$) and electron+nucleus ($\textit{e + A}$) collisions to study several fundamental questions in the high energy and nuclear…
We present a measurement of the production of $\Xi^-$ and $\Lambda\Lambda$ in the $^{12}$C$(K^-, K^+)$ reaction at an incident beam momentum of 1.8 GeV/$\mathit{c}$, based on high-statistics data from J-PARC E42. The cross section for the…
