Clustering in atomic nuclei is an interesting phenomenon that has been studied extensively in the past. However, most studies were related to clustering in α-like 4N nuclei. This work is focused on clustering in N≠Z non-self-conjugate...
Mesons composed of heavy quark-antiquark pairs, known as quarkonia, provide the only direct probe of the screening length in the deconfined state of quarks and gluons, known as the quark gluon plasma (QGP), which is believed to be...
This study presents the first high-resolution long-term history of seawater lithium isotope ratio (δ7LiSW) reconstructed from analyses of chemically cleaned planktonic foraminifera. The lithium isotope ratio of seawater (δ7LiSW ~31.0‰)...
Increasing dominance of negative parity intruder states in neutron-rich nuclei in the sd shell as N approaches 20 shows evidence of evolving shell structure. Systematically examining the structure of isotopes with increasing N while...
Investigation of nuclei with neutron and proton imbalance is at the forefront of nuclear physics research today, along with how the nuclear structure varies with the movement of the nucleons. Experimental data and theoretical models work...
Reaction rates are critical in understanding the nuclear evolution of stellar environments suchas Classical Novae and Type I X-ray Bursts. Nuclear properties of the neutron-deficient nucleus 18Ne are needed to reduce uncertainties in the...
Massive stars play a crucial role in the universe. Yet, our understanding of massive stars remains incomplete due to their rarity, short lifetimes, complexity of binary interactions, and imprecise Galactic distances. An important...
We studied H-shell flashes on CO WDs accreting Hydrogen rich matter in regimes where they are believed to be on the border of stable accretion and of having dynamical mass loss. These systems are believed to be progenitors of SNe Ia, ...
An experimental examination of low-lying proton resonances in 26Si was conducted using the proton transfer reaction, d(25Al, 26Si)n. This reaction is analogous to the direct single proton capture, 25Al(p, g)26Si, of astrophysical...
This work presents a comprehensive gamma-ray spectroscopic study to the higher spin structure of ³¹Si, including its excitation energies, spins, and branching ratios, along with the shell model discussions. ³¹Si was produced through the...
This dissertation reports the study of three nuclei ¹⁹O, ²⁹Al, and ²⁷Mg at high angular momentum using ɣ-ray spectroscopy. These experiments were performed at the John D. Fox Superconducting Linear Accelerator at Florida State University...
The Big-Bang theory is the most widely accepted description of the origin of the Universe, creating elementary particles and synthesizing light nuclei up to mass-7 within the first few minutes of the Big-Bang. Its parameters have been...
The field of experimental nuclear physics has been pushing further and further away from the valley of stability on the chart of nuclides, investigating exotic systems in order to test our understanding of nuclear structure, nuclear...
The study of near-threshold resonances in weakly bound systems is an exciting topic in experimental and theoretical nuclear physics since they provide important information on the interaction of discrete states with the continuum. Recent...
This work summarizes the development of several novel separation techniques and characterization methods for petroleum products. The first section summarizes the development of a new method for screening petroleum crude oils for the...
