Abstract Molecules containing short-lived, radioactive nuclei are uniquely positioned to enable a wide range of scientific discoveries in the areas fundamental symmetries, astrophysics, nuclear structure, and chemistry. Recent advances ability create, cool, control complex molecules down quantum level, along with recent upcoming species production at several facilities around world, create compelling opportunity coordinate combine these efforts bring precision measurement extreme nuclei.

ABSTRACT Aphysically based, computationally simple, analytical framework is developed for predicting the effects of topography on erosion and deposition two-dimensional quasi three-dimensional non-planar hillslopes. It then extended to apply more complex slope geometries found in real terrain using a digital model. An example given predicted patterns an experimental catchment at Wagga Wagga, Australia. Predicted zones high show good agreement with long term pattern catchment, especially...
Collinear laser spectroscopy was performed on Ga (Z=31) isotopes at ISOLDE, CERN. A gas-filled linear Paul trap (ISCOOL) used to extend measurements towards very neutron-rich (N=36-50). ground state (g.s.) spin I=1/2 is measured for 73Ga, being near degenerate with a 3/2{-} isomer (75 eV≲E{ex}≲1 keV).
