We measured both the differential cross section ($sigma_{p,p^prime}$ $=d^2sigma/dOmega dE_{x}$) and the $gamma$-ray emission probability ($R_gamma(E_x)$ $=sigma_{p,p^primegamma}$/$sigma_{p,p^prime}$) from the giant resonances excited by $rm^{12}C$(textit{p,p}$^prime$) reaction at 392 MeV and 0$^circ$, using a magnetic spectrometer and an array of NaI(Tl) counters. The absolute value of $R_gamma(E_x)$ was calibrated by using the well-known $gamma$-ray emission probability from $rm^{12}C^* ( 15.11$ MeV, $ 1^+$, $T=1$) and $rm^{16}O^* ( 6.9$ MeV, $2^+$, $T=0$) states within 5% uncertainty. We found that $R_gamma(E_x)$ starts from zero at $E_x=16$ MeV, increases to a maximum of 53.3$pm$0.4$pm$3.9% at $E_x=27$ MeV and then decreases. We also compared the measured values of $R_gamma(E_x)$ with statistical model calculation based on the Hauser-Feshbach formalism in the energy region $E_x=$ 16-32 MeV and discussed the features of $gamma$-ray emission probability quantitatively.

A complete set of polarization transfer observables has been measured for the $^{12}{rm C}(p,n)$ reaction at $T_p=296 {rm MeV}$ and $theta_{rm lab}=0^{circ}$. The total spin transfer $Sigma(0^{circ})$ and the observable $f_1$ deduced from the measure
d polarization transfer observables indicate that the spin--dipole resonance at $E_x simeq 7 {rm MeV}$ has greater $2^-$ strength than $1^-$ strength, which is consistent with recent experimental and theoretical studies. The results also indicate a predominance of the spin-flip and unnatural-parity transition strength in the continuum. The exchange tensor interaction at a large momentum transfer of $Q simeq 3.6 {rm fm}^{-1}$ is discussed.
Passive detection of special nuclear material (SNM) is challenging due to its inherently low rate of spontaneous emission of penetrating radiation, the relative ease of shielding, and the fluctuating and frequently overwhelming background. Active int
errogation (AI), the use of external radiation to increase the emission rate of characteristic radiation from SNM, has long been considered to be a promising method to overcome those challenges. Current AI systems that incorporate radiography tend to use bremsstrahlung beams, which can deliver high radiation doses. Low-energy ion-driven nuclear reactions that produce multiple monoenergetic photons may be used as an alternative. The $^{12}$C(p,p)$^{12}$C is one such reaction that could produce large gamma-ray yields of highly penetrating 4.4- and 15.1-MeV gamma rays. This reaction does not directly produce neutrons below the $sim$19.7-MeV threshold, and the 15.1-MeV gamma-ray line is well matched to the photofission cross-section of $^{235}$U and $^{238}$U. We report the measurements of thick-target gamma-ray yields at 4.4 and 15.1 MeV from the $^{12}$C(p,p)$^{12}$C at proton energies of 19.5, 25, and 30 MeV. Measurements were made with two 3 EJ309 cylindrical liquid scintillation detectors and thermoluminescent dosimeters placed at 0 and 90 degrees. We estimate the highest yields of the 4.4- and 15.1-MeV gamma rays of 1.65$times10^{10}$ sr$^{-1}mu$ C$^{-1}$ and 4.47$times10^8$ sr$^{-1}mu$ C$^{-1}$ at a proton energy of 30 MeV, respectively. The yield of 4.4 and 15.1 MeV gamma rays in all experimental configurations is greater than a comparable deuteron-driven reaction that produces the same gamma-ray energies- $^{11}$B(d,n$gamma$)$^{12}$C. However, a two orders of magnitude increase of the neutron radiation dose is observed when the proton energy increases from 19.5 to 30 MeV.
In this article a method for lifetime measurements in the sub-picosecond regime via the Doppler-shift attenuation method (DSAM) following the inelastic proton scattering reaction is presented. In a pioneering experiment we extracted the lifetimes of
30 excited low-spin states of $^{96}$Ru, taking advantage of the coincident detection of scattered protons and de-exciting $gamma$-rays as well as the large number of particle and $gamma$-ray detectors provided by the SONIC@HORUS setup at the University of Cologne. The large amount of new experimental data shows that this technique is suited for the measurement of lifetimes of excited low-spin states, especially for isotopes with a low isotopic abundance, where $(n,n^{prime}gamma$) or - in case of investigating dipole excitations - ($gamma,gamma^{prime}$) experiments are not feasible due to the lack of sufficient isotopically enriched target material.
The integral measurement of the $^{12}$C(n,p)$^{12}$B reaction was performed at the neutron time of flight facility n_TOF at CERN. The total number of $^{12}$B nuclei produced per neutron pulse of the n_TOF beam was determined using the activation te
chnique in combination with a time of flight technique. The cross section is integrated over the n_TOF neutron energy spectrum from reaction threshold at 13.6 MeV to 10 GeV. Having been measured up to 1 GeV on basis of the $^{235}$U(n,f) reaction, the neutron energy spectrum above 200 MeV has been reevaluated due to the recent extension of the cross section reference for this particular reaction, which is otherwise considered a standard up to 200 MeV. The results from the dedicated GEANT4 simulations have been used to evaluate the neutron flux from 1 GeV up to 10 GeV. The experimental results related to the $^{12}$C(n,p)$^{12}$B reaction are compared with the evaluated cross sections from major libraries and with the predictions of different GEANT4 models, which mostly underestimate the $^{12}$B production. On the contrary, a good reproduction of the integral cross section derived from measurements is obtained with TALYS-1.6 calculations, with optimized parameters.
New results are reported from a measurement of $pi^0$ electroproduction near threshold using the $p(e,e^{prime} p)pi^0$ reaction. The experiment was designed to determine precisely the energy dependence of $s-$ and $p-$wave electromagnetic multipoles
as a stringent test of the predictions of Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT). The data were taken with an electron beam energy of 1192 MeV using a two-spectrometer setup in Hall A at Jefferson Lab. For the first time, complete coverage of the $phi^*_{pi}$ and $theta^*_{pi}$ angles in the $p pi^0$ center-of-mass was obtained for invariant energies above threshold from 0.5 MeV up to 15 MeV. The 4-momentum transfer $Q^2$ coverage ranges from 0.05 to 0.155 (GeV/c)$^2$ in fine steps. A simple phenomenological analysis of our data shows strong disagreement with $p-$wave predictions from ChPT for $Q^2>0.07$ (GeV/c)$^2$, while the $s-$wave predictions are in reasonable agreement.
