Analyzing power for the proton elastic scattering from neutron-rich 6He nucleus
Vector analyzing power for the proton-6He elastic scattering at 71
MeV/nucleon has been measured for the first time, with a newly developed
polarized proton solid target working at low magnetic field of 0.09 T. The
results are found to be incompatible with a t-matrix folding model prediction.
Comparisons of the data with g-matrix folding analyses clearly show that the
vector analyzing power is sensitive to the nuclear structure model used in the
reaction analysis. The alpha-core distribution in 6He is suggested to be a
possible key to understand the nuclear structure sensitivity.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, accepted for publication as a Rapid Communication

Shallow and diffuse spin-orbit potential for proton elastic scattering from neutron-rich helium isotopes at 71 MeV/nucleon
Vector analyzing powers for proton elastic scattering from 8He at 71
MeV/nucleon have been measured using a solid polarized proton target operated
in a low magnetic field of 0.1 T. The spin-orbit potential obtained from a
phenomenological optical model analysis is found to be significantly shallower
and more diffuse than the global systematics of stable nuclei, which is an
indication that the spin-orbit potential is modified for scattering involving
neutron-rich nuclei. A close similarity between the matter radius and the
root-mean-square radius of the spin-orbit potential is also identified.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, accepted for publication in Physical Review C

On the distillation and purification of phase-diffused squeezed states
Recently it was discovered that non-Gaussian decoherence processes, such as
phase-diffusion, can be counteracted by purification and distillation protocols
that are solely built on Gaussian operations. Here, we make use of this
experimentally highly accessible regime, and provide a detailed experimental
and theoretical analysis of several strategies for purification/distillation
protocols on phase-diffused squeezed states. Our results provide valuable
information for the optimization of such protocols with respect to the choice
of the trigger quadrature, the trigger threshold value and the probability of
generating a distilled state
