Searches for double beta decay of $^{134}$Xe were performed with EXO-200, a single-phase liquid xenon detector designed to search for neutrinoless double beta decay of $^{136}$Xe. Using an exposure of $29.6\text{ kg}\!\cdot\!\text{yr}$, the…
We report the result of $D^0$ and $D^+$ lifetime measurement using $D^0\to K^-\pi^+$ and $D^+\to K^-\pi^+\pi^+$ decays reconstructed using $72~{\rm fb^{-1}}$ of data collected by the Belle II experiment at SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy…
Systematic time-resolved measurements on neutral and charged excitonic complexes (X, XX, X+, and XX+) of 26 different single InAs/GaAs quantum dots are reported. The ratios of the decay times are discussed in terms of the number of…
Properties of Xe isotopes isotopes are studied in the U(5)<->O(6) transitional region of Interacting Boson Model (IBM-1). The energy levels and B(E2)transition rates are calculated via the affine SU(1,1)Lie Algebra. The agreement with the…
$B(E3; 0_1^+ \to 3_1^-)$ transition matrix elements have been measured for even-mass $^{124-134}$Xe nuclei using sub-barrier Coulomb excitation in inverse kinematics. The trends in energy $E(3^-)$ and $B(E3; 0_1^+ \to 3_1^-)$ excitation…
We report on a new lifetime measurement of the E_x=6792 keV state in 15O via the Doppler-shift attenuation method at the E=259 keV resonance in the reaction 14N(p,g)15O. This subthreshold state is of particular importance for the…
$^{136}$Xe is a 0{\nu}{\beta}{\beta} decay candidate isotope, and is used in multiple experiments searching for this hypothetical decay mode. These experiments require precise information about neutron capture for their background…
Neutron lifetime is a critical parameter in the Standard Model. Its measurements using, particularly, the beamline and ultracold neutron storage techniques reveals serious tension. The status of the tension between various measurements have…
The lifetime measurement of molecular excited state has been the subject of many papers and experiments. Very often the experimental data are fitted by single or bi exponential decays which in many case is the best fit that can be done…
We measure the lifetime of the cesium $5^2D_{5/2}$ state using a time-resolved single-photon-counting method. We excite atoms in a hot vapor cell via an electric quadrupole transition at a wavelength of $685\,\mathrm{nm}$ and record the…
Recently the lifetime of the excited $^{2}P_{1/2}$-state of S$^-$ was measured to be $503\pm 54$ s (B\"ackstr\"om et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 143003 (2015)). The earlier theoretical lifetime of $436$ s was clearly outside the experimental…
In one-dimensional random walks, the waiting time for each direction transitions is the same, even in the presence of bias, as a consequence of the microscopic-reversibility. We study the symmetry breaking of forward/ backward transition…

The article provides a theoretical substantiation for a significant increase in the level of accuracy in determining the neutron lifetime using an alternative concept of neutron beta decay. Neutrons are distributed among different subsets…
The available data for E2 transition strengths in the region between neutron-deficient Hf and Pt isotopes are far from complete. More and precise data are needed to enhance the picture of structure evolution in this region and to test…

Free neutrons have a measured lifetime of 880 s, but disagreement between existing laboratory measurements of ~10 s have persisted over many years. This uncertainty has implications for multiple physics disciplines, including standard-model…
Degradation data are considered for assessing reliability in highly reliable systems. The usual assumption is that degradation units come from a homogeneous population. But in presence of high variability in the manufacturing process, this…
