β-Decay Half-Lives of 110 Neutron-Rich Nuclei across the N ¼ 82 Shell Gap: Implications for the Mechanism and Universality of the Astrophysical r Process

Giuseppe Lorusso, +59 more
TL;DR: It is anticipated that universality may not extend to the elements Sn, Sb, I, and Cs, making the detection of these elements in metal-poor stars of the utmost importance to determine the exact conditions of individual r-process events.
Journal Article

Yrast 6(+) Seniority Isomers of Sn-136,Sn-138

TL;DR: In this paper, the wave functions of these isomeric states are proposed to be predominantly a fully aligned pair of f(7/2) neutrons, and shell-model calculations, performed using a realistic effective interaction, reproduce well the energies of the excited states of these nuclei and the measured transition rates, with the exception of the B(E2; 6(+) -> 4(+)) rate of Sn-136, which deviates from a simple seniority scheme.

Extension of the N=40 island of inversion towards N=50: Spectroscopy of 66Cr, 70,72Fe

TL;DR: State-of-the-art shell model calculations with a modified Lenzi-Nowacki-Poves-Sieja (LNPS) interaction in the pfg(9/ 2)d(5/2) valence space reproduce the observations and interpretation within the shell model shows an extension of the island of inversion at N=40 for more neutron-rich isotopes towards N=50.
