We present a general class of machine learning algorithms called parametric matrix models. In contrast with most existing machine learning models that imitate the biology of neurons, parametric matrix models use matrix equations that emulate physical systems. Parametric matrix models work by replacing operators in the known or supposed governing equations with trainable, parametrized ones....

Mid-shell Cd nuclei were traditionally considered to be the best examples of vibrational nuclei. Recent studies that combined detailed γ-ray spectroscopy with sophisticated beyond-mean-field calculations had suggested [1,2] that the low-lying 0$^+$ states in $^{110,112}$Cd possessed prolate, triaxial, and oblate shapes with rotational-like bands built upon them. If confirmed, this would have...

Zr isotopes exhibit a sudden change of nuclear shape from spherical to deformed at $N=60$ as can be seen by the jump of the $B(E2)$ transition strength from the lowest $2^+$ state to the ground state. This shape transition results from the shape coexistence of spherical and deformed bands at low energy. $^{100}\text{Zr}$ $(N=60)$ is deformed more easily than $^{98} \text{Zr}$, which is a...

Understanding and mitigation of background plays a crucial role in rare decay studies [1] and measurements of low cross sections relevant to nuclear astrophysics processes [2]. While anti-Compton shield (ACS) helps in enhancing the photopeak efficiency, muon induced interactions in the ACS can introduce additional background. With this motivation, measurements are carried out... -

The abundance of $^{26}$Al carries a special role in astrophysics, since it probes active nucleosynthesis in the Milky Way and constrains the Galactic core-collapse supernovae rate. It is estimated through the detection of the 1809 keV $\gamma$-line and from the superabundance of $^{26}$Mg in comparison with $^{24,25}$Mg in solar-system meteorites. For this reason, high precision is necessary...

Precision beta-decay measurements offer unique insight into the electroweak part of the Standard Model through a variety of tests including the unitarity of the Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) quark mixing matrix. A reliable unitarity test of the CKM matrix requires a precise and accurate value of $V_{ud}$. Several experimental quantities enter into the determination of $V_{ud}$ from...

The structure and decay properties of neutron-deficient nuclei along the $N=Z$ line have been one of the most important focal points of nuclear physics studies. An essential feature of nuclear structure that can affect the $\beta$ decay of $N=Z$ nuclei is the pairing correlation [1,2]. From the recent experimental measurement [3], an enhancement in GT transition strength for the $\beta$-decay...

About 50% of the elements heavier than iron are produced in the so-called s-process, where the lifetime for neutron capture of the nuclei involved is typically longer than their $\beta$-decay lifetimes. In the modeling of the s-process, great uncertainty derives from the competition between neutron capture and $\beta$-decay, in particular in some isotopes called “branching points”. $^{85}$Kr...

For many years, element discoveries have become synonymous with a 48Ca beam on an actinide target. However, as we move towards discoveries of elements heavier than 118 we have to find new beam-target combinations and use beams of heavier proton numbers.

The decay of $^8$B into $^8$Be is of great interest for both nuclear structure and astrophysics. For astrophysics, the decay of $^8$B is the main source of solar neutrinos with energy higher than 2 MeV mainly coming from the intense (88%) beta branch of the $^8$B decay to the 3 MeV state of $^8$Be.

For certain nuclei long-range octupole-octupole residual interactions can cause a reflection-asymmetric (pear) shape to occur. This octupole deformation, combined with quadrupole deformation, causes a separation between the centre of mass and centre of charge in the nucleus, resulting in a significant electric dipole (E1) moment. This effect enhances the strength of the E1 and electric...

In particular, neutron-deficient Pb nuclei near the N=104 mid-shell provide fruitful ground for investigating this phenomenon.

Near- and sub-barrier fusion reactions [1,2] between doubly magic nuclei are important benchmarks for theoretical models to reproduce the experimental evidence. The cases of 16O + 16O, 48Ca + 48Ca, and 16O + 208Pb have been measured. We add 40Ca + 90Zr even if Z=40 is not a major shell closure. 48Ca + 208Pb populates superheavy nuclei and involves different features.
