The nature of $J^{pi}=1^-$ levels of $^{96}$Zr below the $beta$-decay $Q_{beta}$ value of $^{96}$Y has been investigated in high-resolution $gamma$-ray spectroscopy following the $beta$ decay as well as in a campaign of inelastic photon scattering experiments. Branching ratios extracted from $beta$ decay allow the absolute $E1$ excitation strength to be determined for levels populated in both reactions. The combined data represents a comprehensive approach to the wavefunction of $1^-$ levels below the $Q_{beta}$ value, which are investigated in the theoretical approach of the Quasiparticle Phonon Model. This study clarifies the nuclear structure properties associated with the enhanced population of high-lying levels in the $^{96}$Y$_{gs}$ $beta$ decay, one of the three most important contributors to the high-energy reactor antineutrino spectrum.

In the hydrodynamic model description of heavy ion collisions, the elliptic flow $v_2$ and triangular flow $v_3$ are sensitive to the quadrupole deformation $beta_2$ and octupole deformation $beta_3$ of the colliding nuclei. The relations between $v_n$ and $beta_n$ have recently been clarified and were found to follow a simple parametric form. The STAR Collaboration have just published precision $v_n$ data from isobaric $^{96}$Ru+$^{96}$Ru and $^{96}$Zr+$^{96}$Zr collisions, where they observe large differences in central collisions $v_{2,mathrm{Ru}}>v_{2,mathrm{Zr}}$ and $v_{3,mathrm{Ru}}<v_{3,mathrm{Zr}}$. Using a transport model simulation, we show that these orderings are a natural consequence of $beta_{2,mathrm{Ru}}ggbeta_{2,mathrm{Zr}}$ and $beta_{3,mathrm{Ru}}llbeta_{3,mathrm{Zr}}$. We are able to reproduce the centrality dependence of the $v_2$ ratio qualitatively and $v_3$ ratio quantitatively, and extract values of $beta_2$ and $beta_3$ that are consistent with those measured at low energy nuclear structure experiments. STAR data provide the first direct evidence of strong octupole correlations in the ground state of $^{96}$Zr in heavy ion collisions. Our analysis demonstrates that flow measurements in high-energy heavy ion collisions, especially using isobaric systems, are a new precision tool to study nuclear structure physics.
Using 9.4 g of Zr-96 and 1221 days of data from the NEMO-3 detector corresponding to 0.031 kg yr, the obtained 2vbb decay half-life measurement is [2.35 +/- 0.14(stat) +/- 0.16(syst)] x 10^19 yr. Different characteristics of the final state electrons have been studied, such as the energy sum, individual electron energy, and angular distribution. The 2v nuclear matrix element is extracted using the measured 2vbb half-life and is 0.049 +/- 0.002. Constraints on 0vbb decay have also been set.
Anomalous Viscous Fluid Dynamics (AVFD) model calculations for $mathrm{^{96}_{44}Ru +, ^{96}_{44}Ru}$ and $mathrm{^{96}_{40}Zr +, ^{96}_{40}Zr}$ collisions ($sqrt{s_{rm NN}} = 200$ GeV) are used in concert with a charge-sensitive correlator, to test its ability to detect and characterize the charge separation difference expected from the Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME) in these isobaric collisions. The tests indicate a larger charge separation for $mathrm{^{96}_{44}Ru +, ^{96}_{44}Ru}$ than for $mathrm{^{96}_{40}Zr +, ^{96}_{40}Zr}$ collisions, and a discernible CME-driven difference of $sim 10$% in the presence of realistic non-CME backgrounds. They also indicate a strategy for evaluating the relative influence of the background correlations, present for each isobar. These results suggest that charge separation measurements for these isobaric species could serve to further constrain unambiguous identification and characterization of the CME in upcoming measurements at RHIC.
The low energy excited $0_{2,3}^+$ states in $^{96}$Sr are amongst the most prominent examples of shape coexistence across the nuclear landscape. In this work, the neutron $[2s_{1/2}]^2$ content of the $0_{1,2,3}^+$ states in $^{96}$Sr was determined by means of the d($^{95}$Sr,p) transfer reaction at the TRIUMF-ISAC2 facility using the SHARC and TIGRESS arrays. Spectroscopic factors of 0.19(3) and 0.22(3) were extracted for the $^{96}$Sr ground and 1229~keV $0^+$ states, respectively, by fitting the experimental angular distributions to DWBA reaction model calculations. A detailed analysis of the $gamma$-decay of the isomeric $0_3^+$ state was used to determine a spectroscopic factor of 0.33(13). The experimental results are compared to shell model calculations, which predict negligible spectroscopic strength for the excited $0^+$ states in $^{96}$Sr. The strengths of the excited $0_{2,3}^+$ states were also analyzed within a two-level mixing model and are consistent with a mixing strength of $a^2$=0.40(14) and a difference in intrinsic deformations of $|Delta beta|=0.31(3)$. These results suggest coexistence of three different configurations in $^{96}$Sr and strong shape mixing of the two excited $0^+$ states.
The production of $rm{^3_Lambda H}$ and $rm{{^3_{overline Lambda}overline H}}$, as well as $rm{^3H}$, $rm{{^3overline H}}$, $rm{^3He}$, and $rm{{^3overline {He}}}$ are studied in central collisions of isobars $^{96}_{44}$Ru+$^{96}_{44}$Ru and $^{96}_{40}$Zr+$^{96}_{40}$Zr at $sqrt{s_{rm{NN}}}=200$ GeV, using the dynamically constrained phase-space coalescence model and the {footnotesize PACIAE} model with chiral magnetic effect. The yield, yield ratio, coalescence parameters, and strangeness population factor of (anti-)hypertriton and (anti-)nuclei produced in isobaric $^{96}_{44}$Ru+$^{96}_{44}$Ru and $^{96}_{40}$Zr+$^{96}_{40}$Zr collisions are predicted. The (anti-)hypertriton and (anti-)nuclei production is found to be insensitive to the chiral magnetic effects. Experimental data of Cu+Cu, Au+Au and Pb+Pb collisions from RHIC, LHC, and the results of {footnotesize PACIAE+DCPC} model are presented in the results for comparison.
