Creating traveling waves from standing waves from the gyrotropic paramagnetic properties of Fe ions in a high-Q whispering gallery mode sapphire resonator
We report observations of the gyrotropic change in magnetic susceptibility of
the Fe electron paramagnetic resonance at 12.037GHz (between spin states
and ) in sapphire with respect to applied magnetic field.
Measurements were made by observing the response of the high-Q Whispering
Gallery doublet (WGH) in a Hemex sapphire resonator cooled to 5
K. The doublets initially existed as standing waves at zero field and were
transformed to traveling waves due to the gyrotropic response.Comment: Accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.

One-neutron knockout from Ni
The single-particle structure of Ni and level structure of Ni
were investigated with the \mbox{Be (Ni,Ni+)} reaction at 73 MeV/nucleon. An inclusive cross
section of 41.4(12) mb was obtained for the reaction, compared to a theoretical
prediction of 85.4 mb, hence only 48(2)% of the theoretical cross section is
exhausted. This reduction in the observed spectroscopic strength is consistent
with that found for lighter well-bound nuclei. One-neutron removal
spectroscopic factors of 0.58(11) to the ground state and 3.7(2) to all excited
states of Ni were deduced.Comment: Phys. Rev. C, accepte
Spectroscopy of 13B via the 13C(t,3He) reaction at 115 AMeV
Gamow-Teller and dipole transitions to final states in 13B were studied via
the 13C(t,3He) reaction at Et = 115 AMeV. Besides the strong Gamow-Teller
transition to the 13B ground state, a weaker Gamow-Teller transition to a state
at 3.6 MeV was found. This state was assigned a spin-parity of 3/2- by
comparison with shell-model calculations using the WBP and WBT interactions
which were modified to allow for mixing between nhw and (n+2)hw configurations.
This assignment agrees with a recent result from a lifetime measurement of
excited states in 13B. The shell-model calculations also explained the
relatively large spectroscopic strength measured for a low-lying 1/2+ state at
4.83 MeV in 13B. The cross sections for dipole transitions up to Ex(13B)= 20
MeV excited via the 13C(t,3He) reaction were also compared with the shell-model
calculations. The theoretical cross sections exceeded the data by a factor of
about 1.8, which might indicate that the dipole excitations are "quenched".
Uncertainties in the reaction calculations complicate that interpretation.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figure
Ground-state proton decay of 69Br and implications for the rp-process 68Se waiting-point
The first direct measurement of the proton separation energy, Sp, for the
proton-unbound nucleus 69Br is reported. Of interest is the exponential
dependence of the 2p-capture rate on Sp which can bypass the 68Se waiting-point
in the astrophysical rp process. An analysis of the observed proton decay
spectrum is given in terms of the 69Se mirror nucleus and the influence of Sp
is explored within the context of a single-zone X-ray burst model.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figures, INPC 2010 conference proceeding
