  5. 4. What can we learn from electron-capture delayed fission?
    Andrei Andreyev (Univ. of York)
    22/07/2026, 10:15

    The beta-delayed fission of very heavy and extremely neutron-rich nuclides is believed to play an important role in the so-called 'fission termination' of the astrophysical $r$-process, together with spontaneous and neutron-induced fission. However, its properties are very difficult for investigations, because of the experimental problems to reach relevant regions of nuclei. Due to this, only...

    Jenny Lee (Univ. of Hong Kong)
    22/07/2026, 13:30

    The heaviest self-conjugate system bound by the strong force, $^{100}$Sn (Z = N = 50), represents the last of the “classical” doubly magic nuclei awaiting experimental confirmation and the final member along the N = Z line. It has long been a central objective in the quest to understand how nuclear forces behave under extreme conditions. $^{100}$Sn also serves as a unique testing ground for...

    Rituparna Kanungo (TRIUMF)
    22/07/2026, 14:45

    Rare isotopes in nature are offering a wealth of new information that markedly deviate from the traditional structural properties predicted by models based on observations from stable nuclei. These isotopes play key roles in the element synthesis in the universe and bring access to unravel the state of matter in the cosmic neutron-rich environments such as neutron stars.

  12. 12. Precision Mass Measurements of 130Te, 130Sn, and Their Impact on Models for R-Process Nucleosynthesis
    Grant Mathews (Univ. of Notre Dame))
    22/07/2026, 15:35

    The astrophysical rapid neutron capture nucleosynthesis process ($r$-process) remains an active area of research due to the fact that it occurs in extreme conditions and involves reactions with exotic nuclei that are difficult to study experimentally. For the first time using the Phase-Imaging Ion Cyclotron Resonance (PI-ICR) technique, we measured the mass excesses of $^{130}$Te, $^{130}$Sn,...

    Kate Jones (UTK)
    22/07/2026, 16:25

    The light tin isotopes are interesting owing to the vicinity of the doubly-magic $^{100}$Sn, which is the heaviest alpha-conjugate nucleus and has a cluster structure at its low-density surface [1]. The single-particle states outside of this unique core are important for predicting and understanding the structure of nuclei in the region. The ordering of the lowest single-particle states, which...

    23/07/2026, 09:25

    The RAON (Rare isotope Accelerator complex for ON-line experiments) is a rare isotope accelerator facility in Korea focused on fundamental science research by generating and accelerating RIBs (Rare Isotope Beams). Recently, a low-energy linear accelerator, comprising an injector system and a superconducting linear accelerator, was successfully commissioned. Additionally, RIBs produced by the...

    Xesus Pereira-Lopez (CENS, IBS)
    23/07/2026, 11:17

    Direct reaction experiments in inverse kinematics are one of the best suited tools to probe a broad range of nuclear properties, providing great insight into the nuclear structure of exotic nuclei. Thus a large amount of effort was devoted at the Center for Exotic Nuclear Studies (CENS) to develop nuclear detection instruments especially intended for experiments with direct reactions in...

  28. 24. Charge-symmetry-breaking response in mirror displacement energies and charge radii
    Myung-Ki Cheoun (Soongsil Univ.)
    24/07/2026, 09:00

    Mirror charge radii provide a promising route to neutron-skin information, but their interpretation requires control of nuclear isospin-symmetry breaking beyond the Coulomb interaction. We present a differential Skyrme energy-density-functional analysis that treats mirror displacement energies (MDEs) and mirror charge-radius differences within the same class-III charge-symmetry breaking (CSB)...

  29. 25. Accelerating X-ray Burst Sensitivity Studies with Deep Learning
    Kyung Yuk Chae (Sungkyunkwan Univ.)
    24/07/2026, 09:25

    Type I X-ray bursts (XRBs) are explosive astrophysical phenomena powered by hundreds of thermonuclear reactions in the rapid proton capture process ($rp$-process). Sensitivity studies with XRB simulation codes have been used to identify nuclear reactions that have the most impact on observables and should be prioritized for future studies. Due to the high computational cost and time-consuming...

  30. 26. The potential of cross-detector foundation models for nuclear physics: a case study using TPCs
    Michelle Kuchera (Davidson College)
    24/07/2026, 09:50

    Foundation models such as the GPT models, BERT, and DALL-E have shown impressive performance in text and image domains. Such models are built through large-scale training on self-supervised tasks. Similarly, foundation models built for physics-native data structures show potential for applications in nuclear physics experiments. This talk presents work toward developing a multi-purpose deep...

  31. 27. Shape evolution of the Mo isotopes far from the valley of stability
    Jeongsu Ha (CENS, IBS)
    24/07/2026, 10:40

    The triaxial degree of freedom in nuclei has an important role in the shape evolution. The neutron-deficient and neutron-rich Mo isotopes provide a good example. The large collectivity of a neutron-deficient nuclide $^{84}$Mo leads to the isospin-symmetric island of inversion, and the large triaxiality is expected from the state-of-the-art shell model calculation [1]. For the nuclides lying on...

  32. 28. Nuclear structure of 94Pd at transition-point between the isoscalar and isovector characteristics
    Youngseub Jang (Korea Univ.)
    24/07/2026, 11:05

    Nuclei near the doubly magic nucleus $^{100}$Sn (N = Z = 50) have been extensively studied to investigate nuclear structure, including shell evolution, seniority effects, and proton–neutron interactions. In this work, $^{94}$Pd with N = Z + 2 was investigated with a focus on isovector (T = 1) and isoscalar (T = 0) neutron-proton pairing using the fast-timing measurement. Half-lives of yrast...

  33. 29. Development of a cryogenic gas target and future experiments
    Sunji Kim (CENS, IBS)
    24/07/2026, 11:17

    Cryogenic gas targets are widely used in low-energy nuclear experiments for studies of nuclear astrophysics and nuclear structure. Compared with solid targets such as CH$_{2}$ and CD$_{2}$, cryogenic gas targets offer high purity and high density. These advantages reduce unwanted background contributions and enhance reaction yields, thereby improving the sensitivity of nuclear physics...

  37. 32. Deep subthreshold pion production in heavy-ion collisions (SUPER)
    Jung Keun Ahn (Korea Univ.)
    24/07/2026, 13:30

    Subthreshold pion production in heavy-ion collisions provides unique insight into high-density nuclear matter and multi-nucleon dynamics. While neutral pion creation in proton-proton collisions requires over 280 MeV, nuclear collisions achieve this at much lower energies—down to 25 MeV/nucleon—thanks to Fermi motion and collective effects, which remain incompletely understood. The SUPER...

    Byungsik Hong (Korea Univ.)
    24/07/2026, 14:45

    The density as well as momentum dependences of the symmetry potential in nuclear matter can be studied using the collective flow parameters in intermediate energy nuclear collisions, where mean-field dynamics and nucleon–nucleon collisions compete. The directed and elliptic flow parameters for light charged particles in Xe + Sn collisions at 100 MeV/u, measured by the INDRA detector, have been...
