First Measurement of the Partial Widths of Bi Decay to the Ground and to the First Excited States
J. W. Beeman, M. Biassoni, C. Brofferio, C. Bucci, S. Capelli et al.
Bi alpha decay to the ground and to the first excited state have been recently observed for the first time with a large BGO scintillating bolometer. The half-life of Bi is determined to be tau=(2.010.08) x 10 yr while the branching ratio for the ground-state to ground-state transition is (98.80.3) ... [Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 062501 ] published .
Electron shielding of vortons in high-density quark matter
Paulo F. Bedaque, Evan Berkowitz, Geoffrey Ji, and Nathan Ng
We consider the effect of the electron cloud about a vorton in the CFL-K high-density phase by numerically solving the ultrarelativistic Thomas-Fermi equation about a toroidal charge. Including electrons removes the electric monopole contribution to the energy, and noticeably decreases the equilibri ... [Phys. Rev. D 85, 043008 ] published .
Binding energy of C
H. T. Fortune and R. Sherr
The sensitivity of the calculated matter radius to the binding energy is exploited to estimate the 2n binding energy of C, using a recent experimental value of R=5.4(9) fm. The result is B<220 keV, significantly smaller than another recent estimate. ... [Phys. Rev. C 85, 027303 ] published .

Sensitivity of the neutron star r-mode instability window to the density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy
De-Hua Wen, W. G. Newton, and Bao-An Li
Using a simple model of a neutron star with a perfectly rigid crust constructed with a set of crust and core equations of state that span the range of nuclear experimental uncertainty in the symmetry energy, we calculate the instability window for the onset of the Chandrasekhar-Friedmann-Schutz inst ...

beta decay of Cl: Precision gamma-ray spectroscopy and a measurement of isospin-symmetry breaking
D. Melconian, S. Triambak, C. Bordeanu, A. Garcia, J. C. Hardy et al.
Background: Models to calculate small isospin-symmetry-breaking effects in superallowed Fermi decays have been placed under scrutiny in recent years. A stringent test of these models is to measure transitions for which the correction is predicted to be large. The decay of Cl decay provides such a te ... [Phys. Rev. C 85, 025501 ] published .

He-triton cluster states in Li
Yoshiko Kanada-En'yo and Tadahiro Suhara
Cluster states in Li are investigated with calculations of a He-t cluster model. Results suggest He-t cluster states near the He-t threshold energy. These states construct a K=1/2 band and their neutron configuration is similar to that of the K=0 band in Be. ... [Phys. Rev. C 85, 024303 ] published .
