The spinflip M1 resonance in the doubly magic nucleus $^{48}$Ca, dominated by a single transition, serves as a reference case for the quenching of spin-isospin modes in nuclei. The aim of the present work is a search for weak M1 transitions in $^{48}$Ca with a high-resolution (p,p) experiment at 295 MeV and forward angles including 0 degree and a comparison to results from a similar study using backward-angle electron scattering at low momentum transfers in order to estimate their contribution to the total B(M1) strength. M1 cross sections of individual peaks in the spectra are deduced with a multipole decomposition analysis. The corresponding reduced B(M1) transition strengths are extracted following the approach outlined in J. Birkhan et al., Phys. Rev. C 93, 041302(R) (2016). In total, 29 peaks containing a M1 contribution are found in the excitation energy region 7 - 13 MeV. The resulting B(M1) strength distribution compares well to the electron scattering results considering different factors limiting the sensitivity in both experiments and the enhanced importance of mechanisms breaking the proportionality of nuclear cross sections and electromagnetic matrix elements for weak transitions as studied here. The total strength of 1.19(6) $mu_N^2$ deduced assuming a non-quenched isoscalar part of the (p,p) cross sections agrees with the (e,e) result of 1.21(13) $mu_N^2$. A binwise analysis above 10 MeV provides an upper limit of 1.62(23) $mu_N^2$. The present results confirm that weak transitions contribute about 25% to the total B(M1) strength in $^{48}$Ca and the quenching factors of GT and spin-M1 strength are comparable in fp-shell nuclei. Thus, the role of of meson exchange currents seems to be neglible, in contrast to sd-shell nuclei.

{bf Background:} Using the chiral (Kyushu) $g$-matrix folding model with the densities calculated with GHFB+AMP, we determined $r_{rm skin}^{208}=0.25$fm from the central values of $sigma_{rm R}$ of p+$^{208}$Pb scattering in $E_{rm in}=40-81$MeV. Th
e high-resolution $E1$ polarizability experiment ($E1$pE) yields $r_{rm skin}^{48}(E1{rm pE}) =0.14-0.20$fm. The data on $sigma_{rm R}$ are available as a function of $E_{rm in}$ for $p$+$^{48}$Ca scattering. {bf Aim:} Our aim is to determine $r_{rm skin}^{48}$ from the central values of $sigma_{rm R}$ for $p$+$^{48}$Ca scattering by using the folding model. {bf Results:} As for $^{48}$Ca, we determine $r_n(E1{rm pE})=3.56$fm from the central value 0.17fm of $r_{rm skin}^{48}(E1{rm pE})$ and $r_p({rm EXP})=3.385$fm of electron scattering, and evaluate $r_m(E1{rm pE})=3.485$fm from the $r_n(E1{rm pE})$ and the $r_p({rm EXP})$ of electron scattering. The folding model with GHFB+AMP densities reproduces $sigma_{rm R}$ in $23 leq E_{rm in} leq 25.3$ MeV in one-$sigma$ level, but slightly overestimates the central values of $sigma_{rm R}$ there. In $23 leq E_{rm in} leq 25.3$MeV, the small deviation allows us to scale the GHFB+AMP densities to the central values of $r_p({rm EXP})$ and $r_n(E1{rm pE})$. The $sigma_{rm R}(E1{rm pE})$ obtained with the scaled densities almost reproduce the central values of $sigma_{rm R}$ when $E_{rm in}=23-25.3$MeV, so that the $sigma_{rm R}({rm GHFB+AMP})$ and the $sigma_{rm R}(E1{rm pE})$ are in 1-$sigma$ of $sigma_{rm R}$ there. In $E_{rm in}=23-25.3$MeV, we determine the $r_{m}({rm EXP})$ from the central values of $sigma_{rm R}$ and take the average for the $r_{m}({rm EXP})$. The averaged value is $r_{m}({rm EXP})=3.471$fm. Eventually, we obtain $r_{rm skin}^{48}({rm EXP})=0.146$fm from $r_{m}({rm EXP})=3.471$fm and $r_p({rm EXP})=3.385$fm.
$^{48}$Ca, the lightest double beta decay candidate, is the only one simple enough to be treated exactly in the nuclear shell model. Thus, the $betabeta(2 u)$ half-life measurement, reported here, provides a unique test of the nuclear physics involve
d in the $betabeta$ matrix element calculation. Enriched $^{48}$Ca sources of two different thicknesses have been exposed in a time projection chamber, and yield T$_{1/2}^{2 u} = (4.3^{+2.4}_{-1.1} [{rm stat.}] pm 1.4 [{rm syst.}]) times 10^{19}$ years, compatible with the shell model calculations.
Proton elastic scattering and inelastic scattering to the first excited state of 6He have been measured over a wide angular range using a 40.9A MeV 6He beam. The data have been analyzed with a fully microscopic model of proton-nucleus scattering usin
g 6He wave functions generated from large space shell model calculations. The inelastic scattering data show a remarkable sensitivity to the halo structure of 6He.
Interaction cross sections for $^{42textrm{-}51}$Ca on a carbon target at 280 MeV/nucleon have been measured for the first time. The neutron number dependence of derived root-mean-square matter radii shows a significant increase beyond the neutron ma
gic number $N=28$. Furthermore, this enhancement of matter radii is much larger than that of the previously measured charge radii, indicating a novel growth in neutron skin thickness. A simple examination based on the Fermi-type distribution, and the Mean-Field calculations point out that this anomalous enhancement of the nuclear size beyond $N=28$ results from an enlargement of the core by a sudden increase in the surface diffuseness of the neutron density distribution, which implies the swelling of the bare $^{48}$Ca core in Ca isotopes beyond $N=28$.
Chemical isotope effects of calcium were studied by liquid-liquid extraction using a crown ether of dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 for the purpose of finding a cost-effective and efficient way of enrichment of Ca-48 towards the study of the neutrinoless do
uble beta decay of Ca-48. We evaluated each contribution ratio of the field shift effect and the hyperfine splitting shift effect to the mass effect of the calcium isotopes for the first time. The present preliminary result suggests the contribution of the field shift effect is small, especially for Ca-40-Ca-48 case, compared with the case of Chromium trichloride-crown in which the isotope enrichment factors are strongly affected by the field shifts. These indications are promising towards the mass producion of enriched Ca-48 by the chemical separation method.
