Corona mortis, aberrant obturator vessels, accessory obturator vessels: clinical applications in gynaecology
Corona mortis (CMOR) is a heterogeneous and often dubious term that causes much confusion in medical literature, especially in regard to its modern day significance in pelvic surgery. Some authors define CMOR as any abnormal anastomotic vessel between the external iliac and obturator vessels, whereas others define it as any vessel coursing over the superior pubic branch, regardless whether it is a vascular anastomosis, an accessory obturator vessels, an obturator vessel related to the external iliac system or a terminal small vessel. There is no standard classification of CMOR and obturator vessels variations, although there are multitudes of classifications describing the diverse variations in the obturator foramen region. We define accessory obturator, aberrant obturator vessels and CMOR as different structures, as CMOR is an anatomical term that reflects a clinical situation rather than an anatomical structure. A new clinical classification for aberrant, accessory obturator vessels and CMOR is proposed regarding the anatomical variations, and the location of vessels to the deep femoral ring. The clinical significance of accessory obturator, aberrant vessels and CMOR is delineated in oncogynaecological and urogynaecological surgery
Magnetism of an Excited Self-Conjugate Nucleus: Precise Measurement of the g Factor of the 2(1)(+) State in Mg-24
International audienceA precise measurement of the g factor of the first-excited state in the self-conjugate (N = Z) nucleus Mg-24 is performed by a new time-differential recoil-in-vacuum method based on the hyperfine field of hydrogenlike ions. Theory predicts that the g factors of such states, in which protons and neutrons occupy the same orbits, should depart from 0.5 by a few percent due to configuration mixing and meson-exchange effects. The experimental result, g = 0.538 +/- 0.013, is in excellent agreement with recent shell-model calculations and shows a departure from 0.5 by almost 3 standard deviations, thus achieving, for the first time, the precision and accuracy needed to test theory. Proof of the new method opens the way for wide applications including measurements of the magnetism of excited states of exotic nuclei produced as radioactive beams

Magnetism of an excited self-conjugate nucleus: precise measurement of the g Factor of the 21+State in Mg 24
A precise measurement of the g factor of the first-excited state in the self-conjugate (N=Z) nucleus Mg24 is performed by a new time-differential recoil-in-vacuum method based on the hyperfine field of hydrogenlike ions. Theory predicts that the g factors of such states, in which protons and neutrons occupy the same orbits, should depart from 0.5 by a few percent due to configuration mixing and meson-exchange effects. The experimental result, g=0.538±0.013, is in excellent agreement with recent shell-model calculations and shows a departure from 0.5 by almost 3 standard deviations, thus achieving, for the first time, the precision and accuracy needed to test theory.

Nuclear g-factor measurement with time-dependent recoil in vacuum in radioactive-beam geometry
A modi fied version of the time-differential recoil-in-vacuum (TDRIV) method, adapted for use with radioactive beams, was applied for the first time to perform a g-factor measurement on the first-excited state in Mg-24 (E-x = 1.369 MeV, tau = 1.97 ps). A high precision g-factor value was obtained using predominantly H-like ions. The results obtained demonstrate the versatility of the new approach and have the precision needed for stringent tests of shell model calculations
ISOLDE PROGRAMME
The experiments aim at a broad exploration of the properties of atomic nuclei far away from the region of beta stability. Furthermore, the unique radioactive beams of over 60~elements produced at the on-line isotope separators ISOLDE-2 and ISOLDE-3 are used in a wide programme of atomic, solid state and surface physics. Around 300 scientists are involved in the project, coming from about 70 laboratories. \\ \\ The electromagnetic isotope separators are connected on-line with their production targets in the extracted 600 MeV proton or 910~MeV Helium-3 beam of the Synchro-Cyclotron. Secondary beams of radioactive isotopes are available at the facility in intensities of 10$^
