Performance of the Particle-Identification Silicon-Telescope Array coupled with the VAMOS++ magnetic spectrometer

Journal article Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A Accelerators Spectrometers Detectors and Associated Equipment · October 1, 2026 The Particle-Identification Silicon-Telescope Array (PISTA) is a new detection system designed for high-resolution studies of fission process induced by multi-nucleon transfer in inverse kinematics. It is specifically optimized for experiments with the VAM ... Full text Cite

Measurements of short-lived fission product yields from photofission of 238U using 13.0 MeV monoenergetic photons

Journal article Physical Review C · February 2, 2026 Photon-induced fission product yield (FPY) measurements were conducted on the isotope 238U. Fission was induced using Eγ = 13.0 MeV monoenergetic photons produced by the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory’s High Intensity γ-ray ... Full text Cite

Measurement of magnetic dipole strength in 40Ar between 9.3 and 10.3 MeV excitation energy and impact on neutral current neutrino interaction

Journal article Physical Review C · November 24, 2025 The magnetic dipole strength B(M1↑) of 40Ar was measured in the excitation energy range between 9.3 and 10.3 MeV. The nuclear resonance fluorescence technique was used with monoenergetic, linearly polarized incident photon beams. The new data in ... Full text Cite
