High-resolution collinear laser spectroscopy has been performed on singly charged ions of U at the IGISOL facility of the Accelerator Laboratory, University of Jyväskylä, in Finland. Ten ionic transitions from the and ground and first excited states were measured in the 300 nm wavelength range, improving the precision of the hyperfine parameters of the lower states in addition to providing newly measured values for the upper levels. Isotope shifts of the analyzed transitions are also reported for U with respect to U.

Article Synopsis
  • * The new mass data, with a precision around 1 keV/c², supports the robustness of the N=50 neutron shell closure and enables comparisons with advanced theoretical models for understanding nuclear properties.
  • * The study also highlights the challenges faced by theoretical approaches, like ab initio calculations and density functional theory, in accurately predicting ground-state properties in the silver isotopic chain near the proton dripline.

On-clamp partial nephrectomy for the surgical treatment of renal masses poses the risk of ischemia and greater post-operative renal function loss. Conversely, the off-clamp technique might enhance renal function preservation by avoiding any ischemia time. Nevertheless, the debate persists regarding the efficacy of the on- versus off-clamp partial nephrectomy in achieving better surgical, functional, and oncological outcomes.
