A measurement of proton inelastic scattering 8He at 8.25A MeV TRIUMF shows a resonance 3.54(6) with width 0.89(11) MeV. The energy the state is in good agreement coupled cluster and no-core shell model continuum calculations, latter successfully describing measured as well. Its differential cross section analyzed phenomenological collective excitation form factor microscopic reaction channels f...

The present paper deals with the experimental and computational study of axial collapse of the aluminum metallic shells having combined tube-frusta geometry between two parallel plates. Shells were having bottom two third lengths as frusta and remaining top one third lengths as tube. Shells were compressed to recognize their modes of collapse and associated energy absorption capability. An axis...

A systematic study of the pairing-correlations derived from various particle-number projection methods is performed in an exactly soluble cranked-deformed shell model Hamiltonian. It is shown that most of the approximate particle-number projection methods including the method of Lipkin-Nogami, which is used quite extensively in nuclear structure studies, breakdown in the weak pairing limit. The...

The data presented in this article relates to the research article, "Evidence of Varroa-mediated Deformed Wing virus spillover in Hawaii" (Santamaria et al., 2017) [3]. The article presents data collected throughout August 2014 to November 2015, on the two Hawaiian Islands of Oahu and Maui. Apis and non-Apis specimens - a total of four species - were collected and tested for Deformed Wing virus...

A set of moderately deformed s − d shell nuclei is employed for testing the reliability of the nuclear ground state wave functions which are obtained in the context of a BCS approach and offer a simultaneous consideration of deformation and pairing correlations effects. In this method, the mean field is assumed to be an axially symmetric WoodsSaxon potential and the effective two-body interacti...

We performed single particle deformation experiments on silica-coated gold nanorods under femtosecond (fs) illumination. Changes in the particle shape were analyzed by electron microscopy and associated changes in the plasmon resonance by electron energy loss spectroscopy. Silica-coated rods were found to be more stable compared to uncoated rods but could still be deformed via an intermediate b...

Structural transitions in high spin states of deformed odd Z proton emitters Ho and Eu are studied in a theoretical framework using the deformed Nilsson potential and Strutinsky’s prescription combined with statistical theory of hot rotating nuclei. These proton emitters are found to exhibit shape transition to a rare prolate non-collective shape phase in excited high spin state which is caused...

We have studied properties and shell structure of the superheavy elements from Z = 102 to Z = 120 within the framework of the RMF theory. The region of study spans nuclides with neutron numbers N = 150 − 190. The Lagrangian model NL-SV1 with the inclusion of the vector self-coupling of the ω-meson has been employed in this work. We have performed RMF + BCS calculations for an axially deformed c...

A q-deformed free spinning relativistic particle is discussed in the framework of the Lagrangian formalism. Three equivalent Lagrangians are obtained for this system which are endowed with q-deformed local (super)gauge symmetries and reparametrization invariance. It is demonstrated that these symmetries are on-shell equivalent only for q = ±1 under particular identification of the transformatio...
