We observed the atomic $1s$ and $2p$ states of $pi^-$ bound to ${}^{121}{rm Sn}$ nuclei as distinct peak structures in the missing mass spectra of the ${}^{122}{rm Sn}(d,{}^3{rm He})$ nuclear reaction. A very intense deuteron beam and a spectrometer with a large angular acceptance let us achieve potential of discovery, which includes capability of determining the angle-dependent cross sections with high statistics. The $2p$ state in a Sn nucleus was observed for the first time. The binding energies and widths of the pionic states are determined and found to be consistent with previous experimental results of other Sn isotopes. The spectrum is measured at finite reaction angles for the first time. The formation cross sections at the reaction angles between 0 and $2^circ$ are determined. The observed reaction-angle dependence of each state is reproduced by theoretical calculations. However, the quantitative comparison with our high-precision data reveals a significant discrepancy between the measured and calculated formation cross sections of the pionic $1s$ state.

A broad continuum-like spin excitation (1--10 meV) with a peak structure around 2.4 meV has been observed in the ferroelectric $ab$ spiral spin phase of Gd$_{0.7}$Tb$_{0.3}$MnO$_3$ by using terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy. Based on a complet e set of light-polarization measurements, we identify the spin excitation active for the light $E$ vector only along the a-axis, which grows in intensity with lowering temperature even from above the magnetic ordering temperature but disappears upon the transition to the $A$-type antiferromagnetic phase. Such an electric-dipole active spin excitation as observed at THz frequencies can be ascribed to the two-magnon excitation in terms of the unique polarization selection rule in a variety of the magnetically ordered phases.

We report structural and physical properties of the single crystalline ${mathrm{Ca}}{mathrm{Mn}}_{2}{mathrm{P}}_{2}$. The X-ray diffraction(XRD) results show that ${mathrm{Ca}}{mathrm{Mn}}_{2}{mathrm{P}}_{2}$ adopts the trigonal ${mathrm{Ca}}{mathrm{ Al}}_{2}{mathrm{Si}}_{2}$-type structure. Temperature dependent electrical resistivity $rho(T)$ measurements indicate an insulating ground state for ${mathrm{Ca}}{mathrm{Mn}}_{2}{mathrm{P}}_{2}$ with activation energies of 40 meV and 0.64 meV for two distinct regions, respectively. Magnetization measurements show no apparent magnetic phase transition under 400 K. Different from other ${mathrm{A}}{mathrm{Mn}}_{2}{mathrm{Pn}}_{2}$ (A = Ca, Sr, and Ba, and Pn = P, As, and Sb) compounds with the same structure, heat capacity $C_{mathrm{p}}(T)$ and $rho(T)$ reveal that ${mathrm{Ca}}{mathrm{Mn}}_{2}{mathrm{P}}_{2}$ has a first-order transition at $T$ = 69.5 K and the transition temperature shifts to high temperature upon increasing pressure. The emergence of plenty of new Raman modes below the transition, clearly suggests a change in symmetry accompanying the transition. The combination of the structural, transport, thermal and magnetic measurements, points to an unusual origin of the transition.
Using data from the NEMO-3 experiment, we have measured the two-neutrino double beta decay ($2 ubetabeta$) half-life of $^{82}$Se as $T_{1/2}^{2 u} = left[ 9.39 pm 0.17,left(mbox{stat}right) pm 0.58,left(mbox{syst}right)right] times 10^{19}$ y under the single-state dominance hypothesis for this nuclear transition. The corresponding nuclear matrix element is $left|M^{2 u}right| = 0.0498 pm 0.0016$. In addition, a search for neutrinoless double beta decay ($0 ubetabeta$) using 0.93 kg of $^{82}$Se observed for a total of 5.25 y has been conducted and no evidence for a signal has been found. The resulting half-life limit of $T_{1/2}^{0 u} > 2.5 times 10^{23} ,mbox{y} ,(90%,mbox{C.L.})$ for the light neutrino exchange mechanism leads to a constraint on the effective Majorana neutrino mass of $langle m_{ u} rangle < left(1.2 - 3.0right) ,mbox{eV}$, where the range reflects $0 ubetabeta$ nuclear matrix element values from different calculations. Furthermore, constraints on lepton number violating parameters for other $0 ubetabeta$ mechanisms, such as right-handed currents, majoron emission and R-parity violating supersymmetry modes have been set.
An extended database of experimental data is needed to address uncertainties of the nuclear-physics input parameters for Hauser-Feshbach calculations. Especially $alpha$+nucleus optical model potentials at low energies are not well known. The in-beam technique with an array of high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors was successfully applied to the measurement of absolute cross sections of an ($alpha$,$gamma$) reaction on a heavy nucleus at sub-Coulomb energies. The total and partial cross-section values were measured by means of in-beam $gamma$-ray spectroscopy. Total and partial cross sections were measured at four different $alpha$-particle energies from $E_alpha = 10.5$ MeV to $E_alpha = 12$ MeV. The measured total cross-section values are in excellent agreement with previous results obtained with the activation technique, which proves the validity of the applied method. The experimental data was compared to Hauser-Feshbach calculations using the nuclear reaction code TALYS. A modified version of the semi-microscopic $alpha$+nucleus optical model potential OMP 3, as well as modified proton and $gamma$ widths, are needed in order to obtain a good agreement between experimental data and theory. It is found, that a model using a local modification of the nuclear-physics input parameters simultaneously reproduces total cross sections of the $^{112}$Sn($alpha$,$gamma$) and $^{112}$Sn($alpha$,p) reactions. The measurement of partial cross sections turns out to be very important in this case in order to apply the correct $gamma$-ray strength function in the Hauser-Feshbach calculations. The model also reproduces cross-section values of $alpha$-induced reactions on $^{106}$Cd, as well as of ($alpha$,n) reactions on $^{115,116}$Sn, hinting at a more global character of the obtained nuclear-physics input.
We observed a distinct peak in the $Lambda p$ invariant mass spectrum of $^{3}{rm He}(K^-, , Lambda p)n$, well below the mass threshold of $m_K + 2 m_p$. By selecting a relatively large momentum-transfer region $q = 350 sim 650$ MeV/$c$, one can clea rly separate the peak from the quasi-free process, $overline{K}N rightarrow overline{K}N$ followed by the non-resonant absorption by the two spectator-nucleons $overline{K}NN rightarrow Lambda N $. We found that the simplest fit to the observed peak gives us a Breit-Wigner pole position at $B_{rm {it Kpp}} = 47 pm 3 , (stat.) ,^{+3}_{-6} ,(sys.)$ MeV having a width $Gamma_{rm {it Kpp}} = 115 pm 7 , (stat.) ,^{+10}_{-9} ,(sys.)$ MeV, and the $S$-wave Gaussian reaction form-factor parameter $Q_{rm {it Kpp}} = 381 pm 14 , (stat.),^{+57}_{-0} ,(sys.)$ MeV/$c$, as a new form of the nuclear bound system with strangeness -- $K^-pp$.
