Wobbling Motion in the multi-bands crossing region: dynamical coupling mode between high- and low-K states

Abstract

We analyze a mechanism of coupling of high- and low-$K$ bands in terms of a dynamical treatment for nuclear rotations, i.e.,wobbling motion. The wobbling states are produced through the generator coordinate method after angular momentum projection ({\it GCM-after-AMP}), in which the intrinsic states are constructed through fully self-consistent calculations by the 2d-cranked (or tilted-axis-cranked) HFB method . In particular, the phenomena of ``signature inversion'' and ``signature splitting'' in the t-band (tilted rotational band) are explained in terms of the wobbling model. % Our calculations will be compared with new data for in-band E2 transition rates in $^{182}$Os, which may shed light on the mechanism of the anomalous K=25 isomer decay, directly to the yrast band.

Bayesian Inference of the Landau Parameter $G'_0$ from Joint Gamow-Teller Measurements

$G'_0$ is the leading-order Landau-Migdal parameter that characterizes the spin-isospin dependent nucleon-nucleon interaction. Consequently, the $G'_0$ is closely related to the Gamow-Teller resonance (GTR), the beta and double-beta decay rates of finite nuclei, the response of hot and dense nucleonic matter that modifies the neutrino-nucleon absorption rates in core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) and binary neutron star (BNS) mergers, and finally the critical density for pion condensation in neutron stars. In this letter, for the first time, we report the $G'_0$ with quantified uncertainty in the framework of Bayesian inference, using a self-consistent standard Skyrme Random Phase Approximation (RPA) model and joint constraints from experimental GTR measurements on $^{208}\mathrm{Pb}$, $^{132}\mathrm{Sn}$, $^{90}\mathrm{Zr}$. Our extracted $G_0'$ at saturation density is $0.48\pm0.034$, which is close to the prediction of a few existing Skyrme models that consider spin-isospin observables but smaller than the traditional ones extracted from pion-exchange models. The reasons for this deviation, like the value of the nucleon effective mass $\frac{m^*}{m}$ and the density dependence of $G'_0$, are investigated. The density-dependent $G_0'$ values extracted in this work may guide the construction of new energy density functionals that aims to self-consistently describe the dense matter properties in the spin-isospin channel.

Accessing zero-point fluctuations in high-energy nuclear collisions

Ultracentral high-energy collisions between identical nuclei are very sensitive to the size and shape of the frozen configuration of nucleons at the instant of the collision, an information that is encoded in the ground state wave functions of the colliding nuclei. The relative standard deviation of the size of the colliding system soon after the collision has recently been inferred from event-by-event fluctuations of the momentum per particle in collisions of $^{208}$Pb nuclei at the LHC, and since a single collision event produces thousands of particles, this information is very precise. We connect this extracted value to the magnitude of the zero-point fluctuations of the radius of the lead nucleus. The value that is extracted from the data is compatible with estimates based on nuclear sum rules, but is overestimated by classical Glauber-type modeling of high-energy collisions. The role of the Pauli principle in suppressing the fluctuations in closed-shell nuclei is underlined. It leads to a distinctive $A$ dependence that could be checked in collisions of smaller systems.

Medium effects on neutron star modified and direct Urca cooling rates

We study the effects of in-medium modification of the elementary cooling processes on observable properties of isolated neutron stars. We then deduce the neutron star mass distributions compatible with the cooling analysis and compare with current theoretical models. We conclude that current cooling data require fast direct Urca (DU) cooling, moderated by proton superfluidity, to be active in most neutron stars, and that the DU onset threshold must lie below canonical masses. In that case medium modifications of modified Urca (MU) rates are practically insignificant, but the $nn$ Bremsstrahlung rate plays a dominant role.
