The cross section for neutron interactions on argon is an important design and operational parameter for a number of neutrino, dark matter, and neutrinoless double beta decay experiments which use liquid argon as a detection or shielding…
Two methods of the luminosity determination for the experiment performed by WASA collaboration to search for $^{4} {-0.03cm}{He}$-$\eta$ bound state are presented. During the measurement the technique of continous change of the beam…
A study of the $\beta$ decay of the proton-rich $T_{z}$ = -2 nucleus $^{56}$Zn has been reported in a recent publication. A rare and exotic decay mode, $\beta$-delayed $\gamma$-proton decay, has been observed there for the first time in the…
This article reviews recent advances in our understanding of the experimental aspects of jet-quenching and correlations in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC. Emphasis is put on correlation measurements, namely jet-like…
The new experimental measurements of beam spin asymmetry were performed for the deeply virtual exclusive $\pi^0$ production in a wide kinematic region with the photon virtualities $Q^2$ up to 8 GeV$^2$ and the Bjorken scaling variable $x_B$…
The HIRFL-CSR external-target experiment (CEE) under construction is expected to provide novel opportunities to the studies of the thermodynamic properties, namely the equation of state of nuclear matter (nEOS) with heavy ion collisions at…
In the high-energy $p+p$ collisions, the transverse single spin asymmetry for very forward neutron production has been interpreted by an interference between $\pi$ (spin flip) and $a_1$ (spin non-flip) exchange with a non-zero phase shift.…
The chiral magnetic wave (CMW) has been theorized to propagate in the deconfined nuclear medium formed in high-energy heavy-ion collisions, and to cause a difference in elliptic flow ($v_{2}$) between negatively and positively charged…
Polarization of $\Lambda$ hyperons has been observed in various collision systems over a wide range of collision energies over the last 50 years since its discovery in Fermilab in the 70's. The existing experimental and theoretical…
Gamma decays were observed in $^{56}$Ca and $^{58}$Ca following quasi-free one-proton knockout reactions from $^{57,59}$Sc beams at $\approx 200$ MeV/nucleon. For $^{56}$Ca, a $\gamma$ ray transition was measured to be 1456(12) keV, while…
The excitation energy of the 1/2$^-$ isomer in $^{99}$In at ${N=50}$ is measured to be 671(37) keV and the mass uncertainty of the 9/2$^+$ ground state is significantly reduced using the ISOLTRAP mass spectrometer at ISOLDE/CERN. The…
The $\beta$ decays from both the ground state and a long-lived isomer of $^{133}$In were studied at the ISOLDE Decay Station (IDS). With a hybrid detection system sensitive to $\beta$, $\gamma$, and neutron spectroscopy, the comparative…
The decay properties of $^{133}$In were studied in detail at the ISOLDE Decay Station (IDS). The implementation of the Resonance Ionization Laser Ion Source (RILIS) allowed separate measurements of its $9/2^+$ ground state ($^{133g}$In) and…
The nuclear level density (NLD) and $\gamma$-ray strength function ($\gamma$SF) of $^{63}\mathrm{Ni}$ have been investigated using the Oslo method. The extracted NLD is compared with previous measurements using particle evaporation and…
The level structure of the transitional nucleus $\mathrm{^{217}Ra}$ has been extended with the addition of around 20 new transitions. The discrepancies between the placements of several transitions reported in the earlier studies are…
There have been numerous attempts, in the last decades, to understand the origin of the unexpectedly large transverse single-spin asymmetry ($A_{N}$) observed in inclusive hadron productions at forward rapidities in transversely polarized…
Coulomb excitation of the exotic neutron-rich nucleus Ne26 on a Pb208 target was measured at 58 MeV/u in order to search for low-lying E1 strength above the neutron emission threshold. This radioactive beam experiment was carried out at the…
The $\gamma$-ray strength function and the nuclear level density of $^{167}$Ho have been extracted using the Oslo method from a $^{164}\text{Dy}(\alpha,p\gamma)^{167}$Ho experiment carried out at the Oslo Cyclotron Laboratory. The level…
"Ultra-low" Q value $\beta$ decays are referred to as such due to their low decay energies of less than $\sim$1 keV. Such a low energy decay is possible when the parent nucleus decays into an excited state in the daughter, with an energy…
The Nab experiment at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA, aims to measure the beta-antineutrino angular correlation following neutron $\beta$ decay to an anticipated precision of approximately 0.1\%. The proton momentum is reconstructed…
