Article Abstract
Double differences of masses can be used to isolate specific nucleonic interactions. With the new 2003 mass tabulation a significant increase in the number of empirical average proton-neutron interactions of the last nucleons can be extracted. It is shown that they exhibit dramatic and distinctive patterns, especially near doubly magic nuclei, that these patterns can be interpreted with a simple ansatz based on overlaps of proton and neutron orbits, and that the trends in p-n interactions across entire shells can be understood if they are correlated with the fractional shell filling. It is shown how these empirical interactions can be sensitive to changes in shell structure in exotic nuclei. Finally, these results are used to suggest criteria for future mass measurements with new exotic beam facilities.

Isomer spectroscopy of heavy neutron-rich nuclei beyond the N=126 closed shell has been performed for the first time at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory of the RIKEN Nishina Center. New millisecond isomers have been identified at low excitation energies, 985.3(19) keV in ^{213}Tl and 874(5) keV in ^{215}Tl.

We systematically investigate the impact of the different terms of the Skyrme energy density functional of the effective nucleon-nucleon interaction, and of its associated nuclear matter (NM) properties, on the density distributions of spherical nuclei. Twenty five Skyrme force parameterizations are examined simultaneously, covering a broad range of each characteristic parameter and NM property. The diffuseness and the neutron-skin thickness are found to be the most sensitive density quantities to the force parameterization.

The ionizing radiation exposure to crew on current and future space missions can significantly increase their health risks for cancers, degenerative diseases, and other acute and late effects. A common approach for estimating risk to crew is by completing stochastic (e.g.

Using a novel method of isochronous mass spectrometry, the masses of ^{62}Ge, ^{64}As, ^{66}Se, and ^{70}Kr are measured for the first time, and the masses of ^{58}Zn, ^{61}Ga, ^{63}Ge, ^{65}As, ^{67}Se, ^{71}Kr, and ^{75}Sr are redetermined with improved accuracy. The new masses allow us to derive residual proton-neutron interactions (δV_{pn}) in the N=Z nuclei, which are found to decrease (increase) with increasing mass A for even-even (odd-odd) nuclei beyond Z=28. This bifurcation of δV_{pn} cannot be reproduced by the available mass models, nor is it consistent with expectations of a pseudo-SU(4) symmetry restoration in the fp shell.

Primary goal of any space mission is to keep astronauts healthy and fit during entire mission. One of the important challenges for that is providing a safe and effective pharmacy with the capabilities to address both scheduled and unanticipated medical conditions that may arise during spaceflight. Extended exposure to space environmental conditions may trigger drug deterioration, impacting quality, effectiveness, and safety.
