Nucleosynthesis with tritium Open
This paper reports on the possible role of tritium-induced reactions of light nuclei, which may influence nucleosynthesis in short-lived environments such as the third minute of the Big Bang. They may also play a role during the emergence …

Investigation of post-breakup Coulomb acceleration using a trajectory model Open
Intermediate mass fragments ejected during the deexcitation of excited projectilelike fragments may promptly decay following ejection; the daughter particles that are subsequently produced are subject to interactions with the residual nucl…

Impact of composition and symmetry energy on the temperature of quasiprojectiles simulated with antisymmetrized molecular dynamics Open
The equation of state describes the emergent physical properties of matter. Experimental data is needed to help constrain the equation of state for nuclear matter. These constraints can help distinguish between an “asy-stiff” and an “asy-s…

Search for toroids in excited nuclear material Open
Ground state nuclei usually have compact geometries. However, there have been theoretical predictions that excited nuclei can take on more extended shapes such as toroids or bubbles. There have been many attempts to identify signatures of …

Apparent temperatures of neutron-poor and neutron-rich compound nuclei Open
The possibility of the dependence of the nuclear caloric curve on neutron excess sets a limit on the accuracy of our knowledge of the nuclear equation of state, and thus impacts predictive capabilities of nuclear reaction and nuclear astro…

Investigating the time dependence of neutron-proton equilibration using molecular dynamics simulations Open
Neutron-proton equilibration has previously been studied experimentally in dynamically deformed nuclei in heavy ion collisions [Phys. Rev. Lett. 118, 062501 (2017); Phys. Rev. C 95, 044604 (2017)] using the NIMROD detector array at the Cyc…

Proton and neutron exchange as a prelude to fusion at near-barrier energies Open
Systematic examination of fusion for 39,41,45,47K + 28Si and 36,44Ar + 28Si provides insight into the impact of neutron and proton exchange on fusion for nuclei at and near the N = 20 and N = 28 shells. Comparison of the reduced excitation…

Complexation of Astatine(III) with Ketones: Roles of NO<sub>3</sub><sup>–</sup>Counterion and Exploration of Possible Binding Modes Open
Ketones have been proven effective in extracting astatine(III) from aqueous solvents. Previous theoretical studies suggested a mechanism where the "sp2" lone pair on the carbonyl oxygen donates electron density into the π system of the AtO…

Impact of shell structure on the fusion of neutron-rich mid-mass nuclei Open
The influence of shell effects on fusion of mid-mass nuclei is explored using isotopic chains of K and Ar ions on an oxygen target. Comparison of the reduced excitation functions reveals that the fusion cross section for the open neutron-s…

Advances in <sup>211</sup>At production at Texas A&M University Open
Alpha emitting radionuclides with medically relevant half-lives are interesting for treatment of tumors and other diseases because they deposit large amounts of energy close to the location of the radioisotope. Researchers at the Cyclotron…

Correlation between time and angular alignment in molecular dynamics simulations of heavy ion collisions Open
Neutron-proton equilibration is a process which has been used to study the density dependence of the symmetry energy term in the nuclear equation-of-state. Here, this study utilizes constrained molecular dynamics (CoMD) simulations of 70Zn…

Isoscaling and nuclear reaction dynamics Open
Isoscaling parameters α and β have been explored as a function of breakup angle in binary excited projectile-like fragment decays produced in collisions of 70Zn+ 70Zn and 64Zn+ 64Zn at 35 MeV per nucleon. In this analysis, focus was placed…
