The rapid neutron capture process (r process) is believed to be responsible for about half of
the production of the elements heavier than iron and contributes to abundances of some …

This is an exciting time for the study of r-process nucleosynthesis. Recently, a neutron star
merger GW170817 was observed in extraordinary detail with gravitational waves and …

Self-consistent methods for the structure of heavy and superheavy nuclei are reviewed. The
construction and application of energy-density functionals are discussed. The relationship …

Theoretical models of β-delayed neutron emission are used as crucial inputs in r-process
calculations. Benchmarking the predictions of these models is a challenge due to a lack of …

We perform large-scale shell-model calculations of β-decay properties for neutron-rich
nuclei with 13≤ Z≤ 18 and 22≤ N≤ 34, taking the first-forbidden transitions into account …

Abstract β-decay half-life and β-delayed neutron emission (β n) are of great importance in
the development of basic science and industrial applications, such as nuclear physics and …

Abstract Gamma-Ray Infrastructure For Fundamental Investigations of Nuclei, GRIFFIN, is a
new high-efficiency γ-ray spectrometer designed for use in decay spectroscopy experiments …

The bulk of the rare earth elements are believed to be synthesized in the rapid neutron
capture process or r process of nucleosynthesis. The solar r-process residuals show a small …

An influence of the phonon-phonon coupling (PPC) on the β-decay half-lives and multi-
neutron emission probabilities is analyzed within the microscopic model based on the …

Developments at TRIUMF's isotope separator and accelerator (ISAC) resonance ionization
laser ion source (RILIS) in the past years have concentrated on increased reliability for on …
