Contributed Talks

Nuclear spin orientation provides access to an additional observable in beta-decay experiments – the anisotropy of radiation emission, which reflects the parity-nonconserving nature of the weak interaction [1]. The resulting directional distribution of the radiation depends on the asymmetry parameter, which is sensitive to the angular momentum change, as well as on the polarization of the...

31. Electrons for Neutrinos: from MAMI to MESA

Luca Doria (Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz)

Contributed Talks

Next-generation long-baseline neutrino experiments aim to measure neutrino oscillation parameters with percent-level precision and to determine the CP-violating phase in the lepton sector of the Standard Model. Achieving these ambitious goals requires a significantly improved understanding of neutrino–nucleus interaction cross sections, which currently constitute one of the dominant sources of...

104. Exploring the structure of nuclei with A≈100 via β decay

Desislava Kalaydjieva (University of Guelph)

2026-07-27, 4:50 p.m.

Contributed Talks

A sudden ground-state shape transition is known to occur sharply at $N=60$ for several nuclei in the $A\approx\!100$ region [1]. Dramatic changes are observed in the energy spectra of Sr and Zr, including an appearance of low-energy $0^+$ states that are associated to competing configurations characterized by different nuclear shapes. In contrast, in Mo isotopes the ground state shape...

27. Nuclear structure of $^{114}$Sn via $\beta$ decay of $^{114}$Sb with GRIFFIN

Madhu Madhu (Simon Fraser University)

Contributed Talks

The semi-magic Sn ($Z$ = 50) isotopes with neutron numbers extending from $N$ = 50 to beyond the $N$ = 82 shell, provide an important testing ground for studying the evolution of nucleon–nucleon interactions across the chain. Although ground states of Sn isotopes are predominantly spherical, mid-shell isotopes ($A$ = 112–122) display shape coexistence associated with proton 2p–2h intruder...
