Single-Proton Removal Reaction Study of 16B
The low-lying level structure of the unbound system B has been
investigated via single-proton removal from a 35 MeV/nucleon C beam. The
coincident detection of the beam velocity B fragment and neutron allowed
the relative energy of the in-flight decay of B to be reconstructed. The
resulting spectrum exhibited a narrow peak some 85 keV above threshold. It is
argued that this feature corresponds to a very narrow (100 keV)
resonance, or an unresolved multiplet, with a dominant + configuration which decays by d-wave neutron
emission.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figures, 1 table, submitted to Phys. Lett.
TRY plant trait database â enhanced coverage and open access
Plant traitsâthe morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plantsâdetermine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodiversity conservation, ecosystem and landscape management, restoration, biogeography and earth system modelling. Since its foundation in 2007, the TRY database of plant traits has grown continuously. It now provides unprecedented data coverage under an open access data policy and is the main plant trait database used by the research community worldwide. Increasingly, the TRY database also supports new frontiers of traitâbased plant research, including the identification of data gaps and the subsequent mobilization or measurement of new data. To support this development, in this article we evaluate the extent of the trait data compiled in TRY and analyse emerging patterns of data coverage and representativeness. Best species coverage is achieved for categorical traitsâalmost complete coverage for âplant growth formâ. However, most traits relevant for ecology and vegetation modelling are characterized by continuous intraspecific variation and traitâenvironmental relationships. These traits have to be measured on individual plants in their respective environment. Despite unprecedented data coverage, we observe a humbling lack of completeness and representativeness of these continuous traits in many aspects. We, therefore, conclude that reducing data gaps and biases in the TRY database remains a key challenge and requires a coordinated approach to data mobilization and trait measurements. This can only be achieved in collaboration with other initiatives

Spektroskopie der schweren neutronenarmen Kerne "1"8"9Pb und "1"9"9At, sowie des Kerns "5"7Ni und Entwicklung eines Detektors fuer Verdampfungsrestkerne
In this thesis the study of prompt #gamma#-transitions in "1"8"9Pb by means of the reaction "1"5"7Gd("3"6Ar,4n) at 173.0 MeV, in "1"9"9At by means of the reaction "1"7"5Lu("2"8Si,4n) at 141.0 MeV, and "5"7Ni by means of the reaction "4"0Ca("2"0Ne,2pn) at 68.0 MeV is described. First the evaporation residue detector is described, which is based on the production of secondary electrons in the passage of the recoils through a thin mylar foil (0.5 respectively 2.0 #mu#m thickness). By means of #gamma#-#gamma# coincidence measurements the transitions could be assigned to the specified nuclei. For the studied nuclei level schemes were established and discussed. For "5"7Ni J"#pi# assignments have been made by means of a DCO analysis.

Rotational bands in 167Hf
High-spin states in Hf, populated in the
Pr(Si, p3n)Hf reaction, have been studied
using the nordball Ge detector array.
Three rotational cascades have been observed for the first time
and the previously-known level scheme has been extended
to significantly higher spin. Band-crossing effects are
discussed within the framework of Woods-Saxon
cranking calculations and are found to be in good agreement
High spin studies of neutron-rich 166Er
High spin states of Tm were populated in the fusion of 55MeV Li ions with a Dy target. The GASP Îłâdetector array at the INFN Laboratory, Legnaro, Italy was used for this work. The present data has allowed the yrast decay sequence of Tm to be seen to spin 61/2ħ. The 1/2[411] ground state band has been extended to 51/2ħ and the 7/2 [404] and 7/2 [523] bands have been extended to spin 43/2 and 39/2 respectively. The experiment conducted at LNL was designed to study the incomplete fusion of Li ions with Dy, yielding neutron-rich Er isotopes around mass 166. An offshoot of the experimental data was the production of Tm in the fusion-evaporation reaction involving 4n evaporation
In-beam \mth{\gamma}-ray spectroscopy of \chem{^{42}Ca}
High-spin states of the Ca nucleus, populated in the
68Â MeV O + Si reaction, have been studied in a
--recoil coincidence experiment. The level scheme of
Ca has been extended up to 13.7Â MeV. An elaborate decay
pattern with various paths, together with high-quality DCO and
polarization information assigns spins and parities for almost all
observed levels. The sequence of non-yrast positive-parity states is
discussed and compared with highly deformed bands in Ar and
