Solenoidal spectrometers are gaining popularity worldwide due to their large acceptance and superior Q-value resolution in reactions involving radioactive beams.

Building on this calibration, we describe an algorithm that transforms energy-position data into excitation center-of-mass. approach has been integrated the HELIOS online analysis routines, enabling real-time speedy generation of spectra...
Abstract High-quality intergenerational relationships positively influence cognitive functioning in older parents. However, there is insufficient information on how they shape the trajectories of mothers’ and fathers’ decline multi-child families, owing to complexity relationships, such as multi-dimensional ambivalent natures differences varying across children. Drawing three waves data (2014, 2016 2018) from a nationally representative survey – China Longitudinal Ageing Social Survey (N =...

Fundamental and exotic phenomena such as collective modes, pairing, weakbinding effects evolution single-particles energies can be investigated in peripheral collisions between a heavy nucleus light target. The necessity using inverse kinematics to reveal how these structural change with isospin imbalance renders direct challenging technique when missing mass method. Methods In this scenario,...
