The early 511 keV gamma-ray emission depends critically on the $^{18}$F(p,$alpha$)$^{15}$O reaction rate which, despite many experimental and theoretical efforts, still remains uncertain. One of the main uncertainties in the $^{18}$F(p,$alpha$)$^{15}$O reaction rate is the contribution in the Gamow window of interference between sub-threshold $^{19}$Ne states and known broad states at higher energies. Therefore the goal of this work is to clarify the existence and the nature of these sub-threshold states. States in the $^{19}$Ne compound nucleus were studied at the Tandem-ALTO facility using the $^{19}$F($^3$He,t)$^{19}$Ne charge exchange reaction. Tritons were detected with an Enge Split-pole spectrometer while decaying protons or $alpha$-particles from unbound $^{19}$Ne states were collected, in coincidence, with a double-sided silicon strip detector array. Angular correlations were extracted and constraints on the spin and parity of decaying states established. The coincidence yield at $E_x$ = 6.29 MeV was observed to be high spin, supporting the conclusion that it is indeed a doublet consisting of high spin and low spin components. Evidence for a broad, low spin state was observed around 6 MeV. Branching ratios were extracted for several states above the proton threshold and were found to be consistent with the literature. R-matrix calculations show the relative contribution of sub-threshold states to the astrophysically important energy region above the proton threshold. The levels schemes of $^{19}$Ne and $^{19}$F are still not sufficiently well known and further studies of the analogue assignments are needed. The tentative broad state at 6 MeV may only play a role if the reduced proton width is large.","PeriodicalId":8464,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Nuclear Experiment","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80856057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These results are also consistent with the latest most accurate measurements of the neutron decay asymmetry within the Standard Model. However, there is a significant discrepancy at $3.6sigma$ (1% of the decay probability) level between the averaged result of the storage method experiments and the most precise value obtained with the beam method. This article addresses the possible causes of that discrepancy. We focused on finding the spectrum of possible systematic corrections in the beam experiment. Four separate sources of the systematic errors which had not been properly addressed previously were considered. Two of those sources are related with the motion of protons in an electromagnetic field and the elastic scattering by the residual gas. These problems are associated with the geometrical configuration of the setup and the proton detector size. The Monte-Carlo simulation shows that these effects are negligible and do not affect measurement results. The third error concerns proton loss in the dead layer of the detector. It is shown that this correction requires a more detailed analysis than that given in the papers describing the beam measurement method. The fourth source of the systematic error is the charge exchange process on the residual gas. The influence of the residual gas was neglected in the beam method experiment. We present arguments that careful analysis of this issue is necessary since the proposed proton losses correction decreases the measured lifetime bringing it closer to the storage method results. Spectrum of possible corrections concerning this issue is investigated and it is shown that for the precise result, it is necessary to directly measure the concentration and composition of the residual gas inside the proton trap.","PeriodicalId":8464,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Nuclear Experiment","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85575079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in light of recent results on the production of light antinuclei in pp collisions at the LHC, an abundant production of light (anti)nuclei is also expected from Standard Model (SM) collisions of primary cosmic rays with the interstellar medium. Hence further precise measurements are required to constrain the production models of antinuclei in SM collisions to be sensitive to additional DM annihilation events. The most recent results of the ALICE collaboration on the production of antideuterons ($overline{mathrm{d}}$) and antihelium-3 ($^3overline{text{He}}$) in proton-proton (pp) and proton-lead (p--Pb) collisions are shown.

The nucleus $^{30}$Mg, located at the boundary of the island of inversion, serves as a cornerstone to track the structural evolution as one approaches this region. Purpose: Spin-parity assignments for excited states in $^{30}$Mg, especially negative-parity levels, have yet to be established. In the present work, the nuclear structure of $^{30}$Mg was investigated by in-beam $gamma$-ray spectroscopy mainly focusing on firm spin-parity determinations. Method: High-intensity rare-isotope beams of $^{31}$Mg, $^{32}$Mg, $^{34}$Si, and $^{35}$P bombarded a Be target to induce nucleon removal reactions populating states in $^{30}$Mg. $gamma$ rays were detected by the state-of-the-art $gamma$-ray tracking array GRETINA. For the direct one-neutron removal reaction, final-state exclusive cross sections and parallel momentum distributions were deduced. Multi-nucleon removal reactions from different projectiles were exploited to gain complementary information. Results: With the aid of the parallel momentum distributions, an updated level scheme with revised spin-parity assignments was constructed. Spectroscopic factors associated with each state were also deduced. Conclusions: Results were confronted with large-scale shell-model calculations using two different effective interactions, showing excellent agreement with the present level scheme. However, a marked difference in the spectroscopic factors indicates that the full delineation of the transition into the island of inversion remains a challenge for theoretical models.","PeriodicalId":8464,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Nuclear Experiment","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82633233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
