Decay of a microsecond seniority 3 isomeric state in Open
Excited states in the neutron-deficient nuclide Hf155 have been investigated in experiments performed at the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyväskylä. The Hf155 nuclei were produced in fusion-evaporation reactions induced by b…

Protocol paper for SMART OPS: Shared decision-making Multidisciplinary Approach – a Randomised controlled Trial in the Older adult Population considering Surgery Open
Introduction The Australian population presenting with surgical pathology is becoming older, frailer and more comorbid. Shared decision-making is rapidly becoming the gold standard of care for patients considering high-risk surgery to ensu…

Observation of the proton emitter $${}_{\,57}^{116}$$La59 Open
The quantum tunneling and emission of a single constituent nucleon provide a beautifully simple and unique window into the complex properties of atomic nuclei at the extreme edge of nuclear existence. In particular, for odd-odd proton emit…

First observation of the proton emitter 116La: Evidence for strong neutron-proton pairing from proton separation energies and emission probabilities Open
The discovery of the new proton emitter $^{116}_{~57}$La$_{59}$, 23 neutrons away from the only stable La isotope, $^{139}_{~57}$La$_{82}$, is reported. The $^{116}$La nuclei were synthesised in the fusion-evaporation reaction $^{58}$Ni($^…

Neutron occupancies and single-particle energies across the stable tin isotopes Open
The occupancies and vacancies of the valence neutron orbitals across the stable tin isotopic chain from $112\leq A\leq 124$ have been determined. These were inferred from the cross sections of neutron-adding and -removing reactions. In eac…
