Molecules containing short-lived, radioactive nuclei are uniquely positioned to enable a
wide range of scientific discoveries in the areas of fundamental symmetries, astrophysics …

Heavy atomic nuclei have an excess of neutrons over protons, which leads to the formation
of a neutron skin whose thickness is sensitive to details of the nuclear force. This links …

Collinear laser spectroscopy is performed on the nickel isotopes Ni 58-68, 70, using a time-
resolved photon counting system. From the measured isotope shifts, nuclear charge radii R …

Nuclear charge radii of Ni 55, 56 were measured by collinear laser spectroscopy. The
obtained information completes the behavior of the charge radii at the shell closure of the …

Using a novel method of isochronous mass spectrometry, the masses of Ge 62, As 64, Se
66, and Kr 70 are measured for the first time, and the masses of Zn 58, Ga 61, Ge 63, As 65 …

Charge radii of neutron deficient Sc 40 and Sc 41 nuclei were determined using collinear
laser spectroscopy. With the new data, the chain of Sc charge radii extends below the …

Isospin-symmetry breaking is responsible for the energy difference of excited states in mirror
nuclei. It also influences the coefficient of the isobaric multiplet mass equation. In the present …

Nuclear weak decays provide important probes to fundamental symmetries in nature. A
precise description of these processes in atomic nuclei requires comprehensive knowledge …

We explore the possibility to perform symmetry restoration with the variation after projection
technique on a quantum computer followed by additional postprocessing. The final goal is to …
