169. Recent Results on Nuclear Structure from the University of Jyväskylä Accelerator Laboratory

Dr Panu Ruotsalainen (University of Jyväskylä)

2026-07-30, 4:00 p.m.

Invited speakers

The nuclear spectroscopy program at the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyväskylä has for decades relied on combining a germanium-detector array with a recoil separator, enabling the use of the highly sensitive recoil-gating and recoil-decay tagging techniques. Since 2019, the JUROGAM 3 spectrometer has been operated together with the vacuum-mode MARA and gas-filled RITU separators...

11. Nuclear structure of neutron-rich Ge and Zn isotopes in vicinity of the doubly-magic 78Ni nucleus.

Francois Didierjean (IPHC - University of Strasbourg)

Contributed Talks

The evolution of shell structure in neutron-rich nuclei remains a central question in nuclear structure physics. In isotopes with N = 50, from 90Zr to 78Ni, specific excited states are predominantly associated with neutron excitations across the N = 50 shell gap. The systematic study of their excitation energies, particularly in 82Ge, provides direct insight into the evolution of the N = 50...

60. Excited-State Lifetime Measurements in Neutron-Rich Ca, Ar Isotopes at INFN LNL

Beau Greaves (INFN-LNL)

2026-07-30, 4:50 p.m.

Contributed Talks

The isotopic mass region defined by the convergence of the Z = 20 and N = 28 magic numbers sits atop multiple areas of active study, offering a unique opportunity to constrain various distinct structural effects in a singular experiment. Working out towards the neutron-rich exotic Ca isotopes from the last stable isotope at $^{48}$Ca, closures of the $N$ = 32 and $N$ = 34 neutron sub-shells...

30. Low-Energy Coulomb Excitation of Neutron Deficient 106,108Sn

Daniel Rhodes (Lawrence Livermore National Lab)

2026-07-30, 5:10 p.m.

Contributed Talks

A low-energy Coulomb excitation experiment which employed 106,108Sn radioactive ion beams was recently performed at the ReA6 facility of FRIB. The experiment utilized the SeGA-JANUS setup for coincident particle and gamma ray detection. The measurement, its motivation, and the experimental results will be presented. In particular, results on B(E2) transition strengths and previously-unknown Qs...
