Phys. Rev. C 93, 044306 (2016) - Published 11 April, 2016

With new-generation facilities able to provide beams of very unstable nuclei, one can explore how the traditional magic numbers and shell closures become fragile and break down in neutron-rich regions of the chart of nuclides. One important such region is near $^{32}$ Mg, the so-called ”island of inversion”, suggesting a rearrangement of the nuclear shell structure. This study reports on $B (E 2)$ transition probabilities for the most neutron-rich nuclei yet measured in that region, $^{30}$ Ne and $^{36}$ Mg. The results help map the evolution and extent of anomalous shell structure toward the neutron drip line.

Phys. Rev. C 93, 045803 (2016) - Published 11 April, 2016

Many heavy elements in the universe are produced by slow neutron capture (the $s$ process) in stars, and one needs detailed knowledge of both neutron production and capture to understand the physics. This paper reports new measurements of neutron capture on $^{13}$ C and $^{14}$ N that both lead to $^{14}$ C and which act as neutron ”poisons” that starve the $s$ process of neutrons, thus hampering the formation of the heavier elements. The authors use different accelerators, one to perform the capture reaction and one to measure, via accelerator mass spectrometry, the number of produced $^{14}$ C nuclei. These data reduce the uncertainty in the predicted stellar neutron densities and the resulting heavy-element yields from the $s$ process.
