Abstract

We describe a cooperative measurement of the capture rate of solar neutrinos by the reaction 71Ga(ν_e,e^-)71Ge. Extractions were made from a portion of the gallium target in the Russian-American Gallium Experiment SAGE and the extraction samples were transported to the Gran Sasso laboratory for synthesis and counting at the Gallium Neutrino Observatory GNO. Six extractions of this type were made and the resultant solar neutrino capture rate was 64 ^{+24}_{-22} SNU, which agrees well with the overall result of the gallium experiments. The major purpose of this experiment was to make it possible for SAGE to continue their regular schedule of monthly solar neutrino extractions without interruption while a separate experiment was underway to measure the response of 71Ga to neutrinos from an 37Ar source. As side benefits, this experiment proved the feasibility of long-distance sample transport in ultralow background radiochemical experiments and familiarized each group with the methods and techniques of the other.

Neutron Optical Constraints on Exotic Parity-odd Interactions between Neutrons and Nucleons

Many theories beyond the standard model of particle physics predict the existence of weakly-coupled exotic spin-dependent interactions between standard model particles. We use experimental upper bounds on neutron-nucleus parity violation at meV and keV neutron energies in the forward scattering limit described by neutron optics to constrain exotic parity-odd interactions of the neutron with nucleons from exotic vector boson exchange for force ranges between $10^{-2}$ to $10^{-14}$ meters.

Sizeable mixing between the coexisting normal and intruder structures of $^{96}$Zr revealed through lifetime measurements

Lifetimes of excited states of the nucleus $^{96}$Zr were studied with the Doppler-shift attenuation method following the $^{94}$Zr($^{18}$O,$^{16}$O)$^{96}$Zr two-neutron transfer reaction. The obtained $B(E2;2^+_2\to0^+_2)$ and $B(E2;4^+_1\to2^+_2)$ transition strengths, amounting to $26(2)$ and $39(7)$\,W.u., respectively, firmly attribute the $2^+_2$ and $4^+_1$ states to the collective intruder band built on top of the $0^+_2$ state. The nature of this structure is discussed against predictions of the collective model using the Bohr Hamiltonian, the interacting boson model with configuration mixing, and the quasiparticle vacua shell model. The collective, interband $B(E2;4^+_1\to2^+_1)=11.2(8)$\,W.u. transition strength, refuting the previously assumed purity of both structures, is reproduced in the calculations. The quasiparticle vacua shell model predicts, in agreement with a simple two-state model based on experimental $E2$ transition strengths, considerable mixing between the normal and intruder $2^+$ states.

Search for $^4\overline{\mathrm{Li}}$ from $\overline{\mathrm{p}}+{}^3\overline{\mathrm{He}}$ femtoscopy in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}} =5.36$ TeV with ALICE

In these proceedings, the search for $^4\overline{\mathrm{Li}}$ in Pb-Pb collisions with ALICE is presented. The particle is reconstructed via its two-body decay channel $^4\overline{\mathrm{Li}} \rightarrow \overline{\mathrm{p}} + {}^3\overline{\mathrm{He}}$, using femtoscopic correlations. A dedicated analysis procedure has been developed to subtract the correlated and uncorrelated $\overline{\mathrm{p}} + ^3\overline{\mathrm{He}}$ combinatorial background. The production yield of $^4\overline{\mathrm{Li}}$ is compared with that of $^4\overline{\mathrm{He}}$. Owing to the presence of several $^4\mathrm{Li}$ resonances and their spin degeneracy, the production of $^4\overline{\mathrm{Li}}$ is expected to be enhanced with respect to the compact $^4\overline{\mathrm{He}}$, making this new measurement a sensitive probe for testing nucleosynthesis models in high-energy hadronic collisions.
