1963. Ab initio calculations for exotic nuclei (I)

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

One of the recently developed approaches capable of describing both bound and scattering states in light nuclei simultaneously is the No-Core Shell Model with Continuum (NCSMC). This technique represents a state-of-the-art $ab \; initio$ approach and combines the No-Core Shell Model (NCSM) description of short-range correlations with the clustering and scattering properties of the Resonating...

High-precision measurements of the $ft$ values for superallowed Fermi beta decays between 0$^+$ isobaric analogue states have provided invaluable probes of the Standard Model (SM) description of the electroweak interaction. These measurements confirm the CVC hypothesis to 1.2 parts in 10$^4$, set the tightest experimental limits on the existence of scalar currents in the electroweak...

Oral (Graduate Student) / Orale (Étudiant(e) du 2e ou 3e cycle)

Some nuclei far from the valley of stability have been found to have ground state properties that are different than those naively expected from the nuclear shell model. The term `island of inversion' is used to refer to regions of the nuclear landscape in which deformed intruder configurations dominate nuclear ground states over the normal spherical shell model ones. The nuclear structure of...

2162. Enhanced $\alpha$-Transfer population of the $2^{+}_{ms}$ mixed-symmetry state in $^{52}$Ti

Nuclear Physics / Physique nucléaire (DNP-DPN)

Oral (Non-Student) / Orale (non-étudiant(e))

The residual nucleon-nucleon interaction plays a crucial role in nuclear structure physics. In spherical even-even nuclei the quadrupole interaction leads to characteristic low-lying 2+ states of proton-neutron mixed symmetry character, decaying via M1 transitions to the proton-neutron symmetric states. We have calculated the associated M1 transition strengths in the $^{52}$Ti nucleus within...

2342. User Support and Engagement at TRIUMF

Oral (Non-Student) / Orale (non-étudiant(e))

As a facility for users from around the world, TRIUMF takes very seriously its commitment to providing researchers' the best possible experience at the lab. Recently a new 'Visitor Liaison' group has been established that enhances user support and engagement, and a new User Newsletter is being launched to provide users with up to date information about laboratory experimental services. This...
