48Si: An atypical nucleus?
(2019)
Using the relativistic Hartree–Fock Lagrangian PKA1, we investigate the properties of the exotic nucleus 48Si, which is predicted to be an atypical nucleus characterized by i) the onset of doubly magicity, ii) its location at the drip line, iii) the presence of dual semi-bubble structure (distinct central depletion in both of neutron and proton density profiles) in the ground state, and iv) the occurrence of pairing reentrance at finite temperature. While not being new for each, these phenomena are found to simultaneously occur in 48Si. For instance, the dual semi-bubble structure reduces the spin–orbit splitting of low-ℓ orbitals and upraises the s orbitals, leading therefore to distinct N=34 and Z=14 magic shells in 48Si. Consequently, the doubly magicities provide extra stability for such extreme neutron-rich system at the drip line. Associating with the neutron shell N=34 and continuum above, the pairing correlations are reengaged interestingly at finite temperature. Theoretical nuclear modelings are known to be poorly predictive in general, and we asset our confidence in the prediction of our modeling on the fact that the predictions of PKA1 in various regions of the nuclear chart have systematically been found correct and more specifically in the region of pf shell. Whether our predictions are confirmed or not, 48Si provides a concrete benchmark for the understanding of the nature of nuclear force.
An improved value for the lifetime of the (anti-)hypertriton has been obtained using the data sample of Pb-Pb collisions at sNN−−−√= 5.02 TeV collected by the ALICE experiment at the LHC. The (anti-)hypertriton has been reconstructed via its charged two-body mesonic decay channel and the lifetime has been determined from an exponential fit to the dN/d(ct) spectrum. The measured value, τ = 242+34−38 (stat.) ± 17 (syst.) ps, is compatible with all the available theoretical predictions, thus contributing to the solution of the longstanding hypertriton lifetime puzzle.

Holographic imaging techniques, which exploit the coherence properties of light, enable the reconstruction of the 3D scenery being viewed. While the standard approaches for the recording of holographic images require the superposition of scattered light with a reference field, heterodyne detection techniques enable direct measurement of the amplitude and relative phase of the electric light field. Here, we explore heterodyne Fourier imaging and its capabilities using active illumination with continuous-wave radiation at 300 GHz and a raster-scanned antenna-coupled field-effect transistor (TeraFET) for phase-sensitive detection. We demonstrate that the numerical reconstruction of the scenery provides access to depth resolution together with the capability to numerically refocus the image and the capability to detect an object obscured by another object in the beam path. In addition, the digital refocusing capability allows us to employ Fourier imaging also in the case of small lens-object distances (virtual imaging regime), thus allowing high spatial frequencies to pass through the lens, which results in enhanced lateral resolution.
