In deep-underground experiments, intrinsic detector background can exceed the external one, limiting the detection sensitivity. Intrinsic background in liquid scintillator neutron detectors consists of α particles emitted from radioactive impurities in the detector housing (and possibly in the liquid). We present the results of long background measurements of 12 EJ-309 liquid organic scintillators detectors in the deep-underground Gran Sasso National Laboratory of the Italian Institute of Nuclear Physics. These detectors are a part of the detection array for the SHADES ERC project that aims to measure the very low cross section (down to picobarn) of the astrophysically important reaction 22 Ne (α, n) 25 Mg. With an exposure of∼ 35 days we identify an actinide concentration in the detector housing of 8. 4 (1. 8) sta (1. 4) sys× 1 0− 2 ppm and 1. 62 (0. 57) sta (0. 03) sys× 1 0− 1 ppm of 238 U and 232 Th, resulting in 64 α …

Among the various candidates for dark matter (DM), ultralight vector DM can be probed by laser interferometric gravitational wave detectors through the measurement of oscillating length changes in the arm cavities. In this context, KAGRA has a unique feature due to differing compositions of its mirrors, enhancing the signal of vector DM in the length change in the auxiliary channels. Here we present the result of a search for U (1) B− L gauge boson DM using the KAGRA data from auxiliary length channels during the first joint observation run together with GEO600. By applying our search pipeline, which takes into account the stochastic nature of ultralight DM, upper bounds on the coupling strength between the U (1) B− L gauge boson and ordinary matter are obtained for a range of DM masses. While our constraints are less stringent than those derived from previous experiments, this study demonstrates the applicability of our method to the lower-mass vector DM search, which is made difficult in this measurement by the short observation time compared to the auto-correlation time scale of DM.

We modeled an unprecedentedly large dataset of complete fusion cross section data using a novel artificial intelligence approach. Our analysis aims especially to unveil, in a data-driven way, nuclear structure effects on the fusion between heavy ions and to suggest a universal formula capable to describe all previously available data. The study focused on light-to-mediummass nuclei, where incomplete fusion phenomena are more difficult to occur and less likely to contaminate the data. The method used to derive the models exploits a state-of-the-art hybridization of genetic programming and artificial neural networks and is capable to derive an analytical expression that serves to predict integrated cross section values. For the first time, we analyzed a comprehensive set of nuclear variables, including quantities related to the nuclear structure of projectile and target. In this manuscript, we describe the derivation of two …

Carbon is a fundamental chemical constituent for the existence of life on Earth. It is forged in red giant stars and its formation is determined by the properties of the Hoyle state ( MeV, ), namely by the competition of its very rare \emph{radiative decay} and its dominant particle-decay. However, there is presently a strong tension in the determination of the radiative decay \emph{branching ratio}, posing major implications on several fundamental aspects of nucleosynthesis and stellar evolution. In this work, we report on an almost background-free measurement of the radiative decay branching ratio of the Hoyle state using charged particle coincidence techniques. We exploit a deuteron on nitrogen-14 nuclear reaction to produce, in a terrestrial laboratory, C nuclei excited in the Hoyle state. The radiative branching ratio is directly deduced by counting their total number and the number of events in which they lead, after radiative emission, to a C in its ground state. The present particle-particle coincidence experiment adopts several techniques to minimize the background and clearly identify the signal associated with the radiative decay. Furthermore, for the first time in a similar experiment, we perform a careful topological study of the coincidence detection efficiency in two dimensions, allowing to reach unitary coincidence efficiency and to have under full control one of the most underhand sources of systematic errors. The new findings contradict recent findings with gamma-particle coincidence techniques and are in excellent agreement with the former estimate of the literature.

The detection of GW170817 (Abbott et al. 2017b) coincident with the short gamma-ray burst GRB 170817A (Goldstein et al. 2017; Savchenko et al. 2017) was a groundbreaking discovery for the multimessenger era. Not only was it the first binary neutron star (BNS) merger detected by the gravitational-wave (GW) instruments Advanced LIGO (Aasi et al. 2015) and Advanced Virgo (Acernese et al. 2014), it was also the first, and to date only, GW detection with a confirmed electromagnetic (EM) counterpart. Since then, the search for EM emission from more of these extreme events has been at the forefront of multimessenger astronomy, particularly in the gamma-ray energy band, since GRB 170817A demonstrated that BNS mergers are a progenitor of short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs; Abbott et al. 2017a). GWs have also been observed from the mergers of other compact objects, such as binary black hole (BBH) and …

We report some preliminary experimental results on 13C(3He,α)12C reactions at low bombarding energies, in the range 1.4 – 2.2 MeV. The reconstruction of kinematic quantities in the final channel was performed by using a high-performance, low-threshold hodoscope, allowing for the particle identification even for low energy ejectiles. We succeeded in measuring detailed angular distributions, in absolute values, even for the transition leading to the emission of 12C in the Hoyle state, then resulting into 4 α particles in the final channel. The analysis of angular distributions as a function of energy suggests the occurrence of two low-spin resonant states, respectively with Jπ = 1− and 2+, at excitation energies of ≈ 24.1 and 24.5 MeV.

19F(p,α) reactions are important both in nuclear astrophysical field and for the study of the inner structure and the cluster behaviour in light nuclei. The available cross section data on such reaction, although being in reasonable agreement over a wide energy range, still show some discrepancies for both α0 and απ channels. In this work we discuss the preliminary results of a new experiment aimed to solve the disagreement around 1.6 MeV for the 19F(p,α0) absolute cross section. The excellent resolution of the detection device allowed us also to resolve the απ peak in the spectra obtained in the 1.0-1.5 MeV beam energy range, where very few data where previously reported in the literature.

The study of the formation of cluster structures in light nuclei plays an important role in the understanding of nuclear forces and nucleon-nucleon correlations. Clustering states can be investigated via break-up reactions showing, especially in radioactive neutron-rich nuclei, molecular structures of α clusters held together by valence neutrons. The CLIR experiment, carried out at Laboratori Nazionali del Sud of INFN, fits into this context to investigate the cluster structure of various light neutron-rich nuclei. This paper will report some recent results on the analysis, still ongoing, for the 10Be case, obtained by means of the FARCOS array.

The discovery of a gravitational wave (GW) signal from a binary neutron star (BNS) merger (Abbott et al. 2017a) and the kilonova emission from its remnant (Coulter et al. 2017; Abbott et al. 2017b) provided the first GW standard siren measurement of the cosmic expansion history (Abbott et al. 2017c). As pointed out by Schutz (1986), the GW signal from a compact binary coalescence directly measures the luminosity distance to the source without any additional distance calibrator, earning these sources the name “standard sirens”(Holz & Hughes 2005). Measuring the cosmic expansion as a function of the cosmological redshift is one of the key avenues with which to explore the constituents of the universe, along with the other canonical probes such as the cosmic microwave background (CMB; Spergel et al. 2003, 2007; Komatsu et al. 2011; Ade et al. 2014, 2016; Aghanim et al. 2020), baryon acoustic oscillations …

BackgroundSarcopenia is a risk factor for morbidity and preventable mortality in old age, with consequent high costs for the national health system. Its diagnosis requires costly radiological examinations, such as the DEXA, which complicate screening in medical centers with a high prevalence of sarcopenia.ObjectivesDeveloping a nearly zero-cost screening tool to emulate the performance of DEXA in identifying patients with muscle mass loss. This can crucially help the early diagnosis of sarcopenia at large-scale, contributing to reduce its prevalence and related complications with timely treatments.MethodsWe exploit cross-sectional data for about 14,500 patients and 38 non-laboratory variables from successive NHANES over 7 years (1999–2006). Data are analyzed through a state-of-the-art artificial intelligence approach based on decision trees.ResultsA reduced number of anthropometric parameters allows to …

The 4 He (4 He, 4 He) 4 He* inelastic scattering was investigated at the MAGNEX facility of INFN-LNS, aiming at shedding light on the characteristics of the isoscalar monopole resonance of 4 He which lies at an energy slightly higher than the proton emission threshold and slightly lower than the neutron emission threshold. A complementary elastic scattering measurement was also performed to study the initial state interaction and set accurate coupled channel calculations. Here, the experimental setup, the data reduction and the theoretical interpretation strategy are briefly described.

Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo ground-based interferometers are instruments capable to detect gravitational wave (GW) signals exploiting advanced laser interferometry techniques. The underlying data analysis task consists in identifying specific patterns in noisy timeseries, but it is made extremely complex by the incredibly small amplitude of the target signals. In this scenario, the development of effective GW detection algorithms is crucial. We propose a novel layered framework for real-time detection of GWs inspired by speech processing techniques and, in the present implementation, based on a state-of-the-art machine learning approach involving a hybridization of genetic programming and neural networks. The key aspects of the newly proposed framework are: the well structured, layered approach, and the low computational complexity. The paper describes the basic concepts of the framework and the …

In this Letter, we present the design and performance of the frequency-dependent squeezed vacuum source that will be used for the broadband quantum noise reduction of the Advanced Virgo Plus gravitational-wave detector in the upcoming observation run. The frequency-dependent squeezed field is generated by a phase rotation of a frequency-independent squeezed state through a 285 m long, high-finesse, near-detuned optical resonator. With about 8.5 dB of generated squeezing, up to 5.6 dB of quantum noise suppression has been measured at high frequency while close to the filter cavity resonance frequency, the intracavity losses limit this value to about 2 dB. Frequency-dependent squeezing is produced with a rotation frequency stability of about 6 Hz rms, which is maintained over the long term. The achieved results fulfill the frequency dependent squeezed vacuum source requirements for Advanced …

Despite the growing number of candidates and the insight they have provided, the astrophysical sites and processes that produce the observed merging binaries remain uncertain. Multiple viable scenarios exist. The binary black holes could have formed in an isolated stellar binary (eg, Bethe & Brown 1998; Dominik et al. 2015; Inayoshi et al. 2017; Marchant et al. 2016; de Mink & Mandel 2016; Gallegos-Garcia et al. 2021), via dynamical interactions in dense stellar clusters (eg, Portegies Zwart & McMillan 2000; Banerjee et al. 2010; Ziosi et al. 2014; Morscher et al. 2015; Mapelli 2016; Rodriguez et al. 2016a; Askar et al. 2017) or triple systems (eg, Antonini et al. 2017; Martinez et al. 2020; Vigna-Gómez et al. 2021), or via gas capture in the disks of active galactic nuclei (AGN; eg, McKernan et al. 2012; Bartos et al. 2017; Fragione et al. 2019; Tagawa et al. 2020).

The structure of light-to-medium mass nuclei is crucial to understand exotic phenomena in nuclear structure, including the appearance of molecular effects in light nuclei and their impact in nuclear astrophysics. In this paper, a new experiment to probe one-proton spectroscopic factors of bound and unbound states in the sd-nucleus 33 Cl is discussed. The experiment exploits the reaction 32 S (3 He, d) 33 Cl* at 9.68 MeV bombarding energy. This reaction is suitable to probe the single-particle structure of 33 Cl states with respect to the population of 1d 3/2, 1f 7/2 and 2p 3/2 shells. Crucial aspects of the investigation are the use of an enriched, high-purity, 32 S target and a new generation hodoscope with improved angular resolution, allowing to obtain high-precision angular distribution of the differential cross section in a broad angular range. Results are interpreted by means of finite-range DWBA and coupled …
