Impact of the small Dirac component on the valence electron density of actinides at their nuclei in solids

A. V. Nikolaev, U. N. Kurelchuk, and E. V. Tkalya

Phys. Rev. C 114, 034601 (2026) - Published 3 September, 2026

An enhanced Full-Potential Linear Augmented Plane Wave (FLAPW) method is introduced which incorporates the small Dirac components of valence states—specifically the 6p1/2 semicore states—in actinide solids such as Ac, Th, ThO $_{2}$ , and UO $_{2}$ . By accounting for these small components, it is demonstrated that the valence electron density at the nucleus increases by a factor of 2.4 to 4.3, correcting standard approximations in computational physics that omit significant valence electron density near the atomic nucleus. These refined relativistic Dirac calculations offer improved theoretical precision for nuclear phenomena such as internal conversion, Mossbauer spectroscopy, and electron bridge effects, providing foundational electronic structure insights relevant to technologies like $^{229}$ Th-based solid-state nuclear clocks.

Decay-resolved charge changes from radioactive decays in levitated microparticles

Jiaxiang Wang, T. W. Penny, Yu-Han Tseng, Benjamin Siegel, and David C. Moore

Phys. Rev. C 114, 034602 (2026) - Published 3 September, 2026

We have demonstrated a new way to reveal the electrical ‘fingerprint’ left by a single nuclear decay. When a radioactive atom implanted just beneath a surface decays, its products can eject a shower of secondary electrons from the surrounding material. Often undetected by conventional laboratory instruments, these electrons can create a substantial background in experiments that rely on precise electron counting. To study this process, we use a microscopic glass sphere suspended by laser light as a highly isolated charge detector with sub-electron charge sensitivity. We pair the sphere with a conventional scintillation detector that records the emitted radiation. By matching the timing of the two signals, we can link each charge change to a specific decay. We found that one alpha decay can knock more than 100 electrons from a material’s surface, while beta decays release far fewer. Measuring these electrical fingerprints one decay at a time could help experiments searching for rare events, including future sterile neutrino searches, to distinguish genuine signals from electrons released by radioactive impurities near detector surfaces.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Electromagnetic radiation from baryon-rich matter in heavy-ion collisions

Xiang-Yu Wu, Charles Gale, Sangyong Jeon, Jean-François Paquet, Björn Schenke, and Chun Shen

Phys. Rev. C 114, 034902 (2026) - Published 8 September, 2026

Photons and dileptons produced in high energy nuclear collisions contain undistorted information about the conditions at their point of emission, such as the local temperature, flow velocity, and chemical potential. Using state of the art modeling of the collision dynamics, which reproduce hadronic spectra, the authors find good agreement with measurements by the STAR Collaboration at the Relativistic Heavy Collider, but differ from measurements by the PHENIX Collaboration in terms of magnitude but not shape. This work shows that the multimessenger approach to heavy-ion collisions previously used at higher energy is amenable to baryon-rich environments at lower temperatures, and paves the way for more comprehensive studies of the QCD phase diagram.

Precise determination of electron-capture $Q$ value of ${}^{113}{Sn}$ decay related to electron neutrino mass measurements

Phys. Rev. C 114, 035501 (2026) - Published 10 September, 2026

High-precision measurements of nuclear decay energies can reveal rare low-Q transitions with enhanced sensitivity to the absolute neutrino mass. Using the JYFLTRAP double Penning trap and the PI-ICR technique, the electron-capture Q value of $^{113}$ Sn was determined with an eightfold improvement in precision over the previous evaluation. Combining the new mass result with known excited states in $^{113}$ In identifies two energetically allowed low-Q electron-capture branches. In particular, an allowed transition to the 1029.650-keV state has $Q *_{E C} = 9.60 (20)$ keV and lies close to the L-shell binding energies. Atomic and nuclear calculations show enhanced spectral sensitivity near the endpoint, making this decay an interesting complementary system for future direct neutrino-mass studies.

Correlated and uncorrelated Monte Carlo neutron-capture rate variations in weak $r$ -process simulations

Atul Kedia, Jeffrey M. Berryman, Jonathan Cabrera Garcia, Jutta E. Escher, Oliver C. Gorton, Erika M. Holmbeck, Gail C. McLaughlin, Cole D. Pruitt, Andre Sieverding, and Rebecca Surman

Phys. Rev. C 114, 035805 (2026) - Published 21 September, 2026

Where do the heavy elements in our universe come from, and how accurately can we model their creation? Accurately predicting the abundances of elements produced in the weak rapid neutron-capture ( $r$ - process) requires rigorous quantification of nuclear reaction uncertainties far from stability. This work utilizes cross sections with uncertainty-quantified optical potential and considers both independent (uncorrelated) rate variations and rate variations fully correlated via the underlying optical potential. While fully correlated variations alter the covariance structure among elemental yields, they do not automatically reduce the overall uncertainty envelope. By identifying specific neutron capture rates that have the most leverage on the $r$ -process element production, this work provides a roadmap for experimental and theoretical efforts to constrain key nuclear reaction rates.
