A four parameter formula has been applied to obtain the nuclear softness parameter (σ) for all the superdeformed (SD) bands observed in A = 190 mass region. The nuclear softness parameter values of most of the SD bands are found to be smaller than those of the normal deformed bands, implying more rigidity. The results of this work includes the variation of nuclear softness parameter against the gamma ray energy ratio R(I) = Eγ(I→(I-2))/Eγ((I-2)→(I-4)) of SD bands in A = 190 mass region. The variation of R(I) and the nuclear softness parameter of these SD bands are studied with the product of valence proton and neutron numbers (NpNn). The systematics also includes the variation of σ with the neutron number N. It is also found that the value of softness parameter of signature partner SD bands observed in A = 190 mass region is also the same. We present for the first time the study of softness parameter of SD bands with NpNn scheme.

For the first time, a systematic study of identical superdeformed (SD) bands in [Formula: see text] mass region is made, where [Formula: see text] bifurcation is present. Four pairs of identical SD bands viz. [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] mass region and [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] mass region have been systematically studied. The present systematic study provides the universal description of the identical SD bands in various mass regions. We presented the empirical evidence of a similar structure of identical SD bands in various mass regions. For this purpose, we have used various rotational energy formulae. The free parameters are extracted from four identical SD bands. The [Formula: see text] bifurcation in identical SD bands is calculated from shape fluctuation formulae. For the first time, this shape fluctuation model is employed to calculate the [Formula: see text] bifurcation, making it an alternate powerful tool to study SD bands of various mass regions.

The rotational energy formulae viz. VMI model, ab-formula, Harris [Formula: see text] expansion, Exponential model with pairing attenuation and Nuclear softness formula are employed to the superdeformed bands of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] mass regions in order to test the validity of various rotational energy formulae in describing the general nature of superdeformed bands. These formulae are used to deduce the band-head spins of the nine superdeformed bands in [Formula: see text] mass region and two superdeformed bands of [Formula: see text] mass region. The band-head spins of these superdeformed bands have been established experimentally and hence they prove to be excellent candidates to examine the adequacy of rotational energy formulae in superdeformed bands. The least-squares fitting of [Formula: see text]-transition energies is performed to calculate the model parameters such as the band-head moment of inertia, the effective pairing gap parameter and the softness parameter, and a careful analysis of these parameters is made. For the first time, we have performed a systematic study of the rotational energy formulae to establish which formula gives the best estimate of spin in [Formula: see text] mass regions.

We examine the prediction of supersymmetric quantum mechanics that bands with identical gamma-ray energies occur in quartets. The experimental data suggest that this scenario is actually realized in nature. In the A=150 mass region, four known pairs of isospectral bands can be grouped in two quartets, while there are indications of such patterns around A=190. We introduce a small supersymmetry breaking, necessary to describe the details of the data. We derive relations among the transition rates that can be used to test our predictions.

It has been often suggested that a tangible relation exists between relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei (AGN) and the morphology of their host galaxies. In particular, relativistic jets may commonly be related to merging events. Here we present for the first time a detailed spectroscopic and morphological analysis of a Seyfert galaxy, SDSS J211852.96−073227.5, at z = 0.26. This source has previously been classified as a gamma-ray emitting narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy. We re-observed it with the 6.5 m Clay Telescope and these new, high-quality spectroscopic data have revealed that it is actually an intermediate-type Seyfert galaxy. Furthermore, the results of modelling the Ks-band near-infrared images obtained with the 6.5 m Baade Telescope indicate that the AGN is hosted by a late-type galaxy in an interacting system, strengthening the suggested connection between galaxy interactions and relativistic jets.

Abstract Stellar Evolution theory relies on our knowledge of nuclear reactions, with the carbon/oxygen (C/O) ratio, at the end of helium burning, being the single most important input. However, the C/O ratio is still not known with sufficient accuracy, due to large uncertainties in the cross section for the fusion of helium with 12C to form 16O, denoted as the 12C(α,γ)16O reaction. We present initial results at moderately low energies using a novel method, which is significantly different from the experimental efforts of the past four decades. Precise angular distributions of the 12C(α,γ)16O reaction were obtained by measuring the inverse 16O(γ,α)12C reaction with gamma-beams and a Time Projection Chamber detector. These allowed us to measure, for the first time, the interference angle of the l = 1 and 2 partial waves contributing to this reaction (φ12), which agrees with predictions based on the unitarity of the scattering matrix.

We report the detection of pulsed gamma-ray emission from the Geminga pulsar (PSR J0633+1746) between 15 GeV and 75 GeV. This is the first time a middle-aged pulsar has been detected up to these energies. Observations were carried out with the MAGIC telescopes between 2017 and 2019 using the low-energy threshold Sum-Trigger-II system. After quality selection cuts, ∼80 h of observational data were used for this analysis. To compare with the emission at lower energies below the sensitivity range of MAGIC, 11 years of Fermi-LAT data above 100 MeV were also analysed. From the two pulses per rotation seen by Fermi-LAT, only the second one, P2, is detected in the MAGIC energy range, with a significance of 6.3σ. The spectrum measured by MAGIC is well-represented by a simple power law of spectral index Γ = 5.62 ± 0.54, which smoothly extends the Fermi-LAT spectrum. A joint fit to MAGIC and Fermi-LAT data rules out the existence of a sub-exponential cut-off in the combined energy range at the 3.6σ significance level. The power-law tail emission detected by MAGIC is interpreted as the transition from curvature radiation to Inverse Compton Scattering of particles accelerated in the northern outer gap.

Abstract In orthopedic surgery, bone cutting is an indispensable procedure followed by the surgeons to treat the fractured and fragmented bones. Because of the unsuitable parameter values used in the cutting processes, micro crack, fragmentation, and thermal osteonecrosis of bone are observed. Therefore, prediction of suitable cutting force is essential to subtract the bone without any adverse effect. In this study, the Cowper-Symonds model for bovine bone was developed for the first time. Then the developed model was coupled with the finite element analysis to predict the cutting force. To determine the model constants, tensile tests with different strain rates (10−5/s, 10−4/s, 10−3/s, and 1/s) were conducted on the cortical bone specimens. The developed material model was implemented in the bone cutting simulation and validated with the experiments.
