Electric monopole, E 0 transitions in nuclei are reviewed. Values for ρ 2 (E 0)× 1 0 3, X (E
0/E 2) and q K 2 (E 0/E 2) are tabulated. Particular attention is paid to a complete re …

Stellar evolution theory predicts a" gap" in the black hole birth function caused by the pair
instability. Many presupernova stars that have a core mass below some limiting value, M …

Due to the lack of “how-to” pieces in the methods literature, a theatre artist who later became
an ethnographer offers this personal primer in playwriting with qualitative data …

Gravitational-wave (GW) detections of binary black hole (BH) mergers have begun to
sample the cosmic BH mass distribution. The evolution of single stellar cores predicts a gap …

In this review, we discuss recent advancements in the study of clustering phenomena
occurring in light nuclei, and their influence on nuclear structure, dynamics, and …

The cascading 3.21 and 4.44 MeV electric quadrupole transitions have been observed from
the Hoyle state at 7.65 MeV excitation energy in C 12, excited by the C 12 (p, p′) reaction at …

Abstract Knowledge of the low-lying monopole strength in C 12—the Hoyle state in
particular—is crucial for our understanding of both the astrophysically important 3α reaction …

The E0 transition depopulating the first-excited 0+ state in 24 Mg has been observed for the
first time, and the E0 transition strength determined by electron-positron pair and γ-ray …

The electric monopole (E 0) transition strength ρ 2 for the transition connecting the third 0+
level, a “superdeformed” band head, to the “spherical” 0+ ground state in doubly magic Ca …

Charge-coupled devices (CCDs) are a leading technology in direct searches for dark matter
because of their eV-scale energy threshold and micrometer-scale spatial resolution. Recent …
