We present a high-resolution in-beam $gamma$-ray spectroscopy study of excited states in the mirror nuclei $^{55}$Co and $^{55}$Ni following one-nucleon knockout from a projectile beam of $^{56}$Ni. The newly determined partial cross sections and the $gamma$-decay properties of excited states provide a test of state-of-the-art nuclear structure models and probe mirror symmetry in unique ways. A mirror asymmetry for the partial cross sections leading to the two lowest $3/2^-$ states in the $A = 55$ mirror pair was identified as well as a significant difference in the $E1$ decays from the $1/2^+_1$ state to the same two $3/2^-$ states. The mirror asymmetry in the partial cross sections cannot be reconciled with the present shell-model picture or small mixing introduced in a two-state model. The observed mirror asymmetry in the $E1$ decay pattern, however, points at stronger mixing between the two lowest $3/2^-$ states in $^{55}$Co than in its mirror $^{55}$Ni.

Spectroscopic information has been extracted on the hole-states of $^{55}$Ni, the least known of the quartet of nuclei ($^{55}$Ni, $^{57}$Ni, $^{55}$Co and $^{57}$Co), one neutron away from $^{56}$Ni, the N=Z=28 double magic nucleus. Using the $^{1}$ H($^{56}$Ni,d)$^{55}$Ni transfer reaction in inverse kinematics, neutron spectroscopic factors, spins and parities have been extracted for the f$_{7/2}$, p$_{3/2}$ and the s$_{1/2}$ hole-states of $^{55}$Ni. This new data provides a benchmark for large basis calculations that include nucleonic orbits in both the sd and pf shells. State of the art calculations have been performed to describe the excitation energies and spectroscopic factors of the s$_{1/2}$ hole-state below Fermi energy.
Theoretical models often differ significantly from measured data in their predictions of the magnitude of nuclear reactions that produce radionuclides for medical, research, and national security applications. In this paper, we compare a priori predi ctions from several state-of-the-art reaction modeling packages (CoH, EMPIRE, TALYS, and ALICE) to cross sections measured using the stacked-target activation method. The experiment was performed using the LBNL 88-Inch Cyclotron with beams of 25 and 55 MeV protons on a stack of iron, copper, and titanium foils. 34 excitation functions were measured for 4 < Ep < 55 MeV, including the first measurement of the independent cross sections for natFe(p,x) 49,51Cr, 51,52m,52g,56Mn, and 58m,58gCo. All of the models failed to reproduce the isomer-to-ground state ratio for reaction channels at compound and pre-compound energies, suggesting issues in modeling the deposition or distribution of angular momentum in these residual nuclei.

Let $G$ be a 4-chromatic maximal planar graph (MPG) with the minimum degree of at least 4 and let $C$ be an even-length cycle of $G$.If $|f(C)|=2$ for every $f$ in some Kempe equivalence class of $G$, then we call $C$ an unchanged bichromatic cycle ( UBC) of $G$, and correspondingly $G$ an unchanged bichromatic cycle maximal planar graph (UBCMPG) with respect to $C$, where $f(C)={f(v)| vin V(C)}$. For an UBCMPG $G$ with respect to an UBC $C$, the subgraph of $G$ induced by the set of edges belonging to $C$ and its interior (or exterior), denoted by $G^C$, is called a base-module of $G$; in particular, when the length of $C$ is equal to four, we use $C_4$ instead of $C$ and call $G^{C_4}$ a 4-base-module. In this paper, we first study the properties of UBCMPGs and show that every 4-base-module $G^{C_4}$ contains a 4-coloring under which $C_4$ is bichromatic and there are at least two bichromatic paths with different colors between one pair of diagonal vertices of $C_4$ (these paths are called module-paths). We further prove that every 4-base-module $G^{C_4}$ contains a 4-coloring (called decycle coloring) for which the ends of a module-path are colored by distinct colors. Finally, based on the technique of the contracting and extending operations of MPGs, we prove that 55-configurations and 56-configurations are reducible by converting the reducibility problem of these two classes of configurations into the decycle coloring problem of 4-base-modules.
Background: Recently, a systematic exploration of two-neutron transfer induced by the ($^{18}$O, $^{16}$O) reaction on different targets has been performed. The high resolution data have been collected at the MAGNEX magnetic spectrometer of the INFN- LNS laboratory in Catania and analyzed with the coupled reaction channel (CRC) approach. The simultaneous and sequential transfers of the two neutrons have been considered under the same theoretical framework without the need of adjustable factors in the calculations. Purpose: A detailed analysis of the one-neutron transfer cross sections is important to study the sequential two-neutron transfer. Here, we examine the ($^{18}$O, $^{17}$O) reaction on $^{16}$O, $^{28}$Si and $^{64}$Ni targets. These even-even nuclei allow for investigation of one-neutron transfer in distinct nuclear shell spaces. Method: The MAGNEX spectrometer was used to measure mass spectra of ejectiles and extract differential cross sections of one-neutron transfer to low-lying states. We adopted the same CRC formalism used in the sequential two-neutron transfer, including relevant channels and using spectroscopic amplitudes obtained from shell model calculations. We also compare with one-step distorted wave Born approximation (DWBA). Results: For the $^{18}$O + $^{16}$O and the $^{18}$O + $^{28}$O systems we used two interactions in the shell model. The experimental angular distributions are reasonably well reproduced by the CRC calculations. In the $^{18}$O + $^{64}$Ni system, we considered only one interaction and the theoretical curve describes the shape and order of magnitude observed in the experimental data. Conclusions: Comparisons between experimental, DWBA and CRC angle-integrated cross sections suggest that excitations before or after the transfer of neutron is relevant in the $^{18}$O + $^{16}$O and $^{18}$O + $^{64}$Ni systems.
The nuclear root-mean-square charge radius of $^{54}$Ni was determined with collinear laser spectroscopy to be $R(^{54}$Ni) = 3.737,(3)~fm. In conjunction with the known radius of the mirror nucleus $^{54}$Fe, the difference of the charge radii was e xtracted as $Delta R_{rm ch}$ = 0.049,(4)~fm. Based on the correlation between $Delta R_{rm ch}$ and the slope of the symmetry energy at nuclear saturation density ($L$), we deduced $20 le L le 70$,MeV. The present result is consistent with the $L$ from the binary neutron star merger GW170817, favoring a soft neutron matter EOS, and barely consistent with the PREX-2 result within 1$sigma$ error bands. Our result indicates the neutron-skin thickness of $^{48}$Ca as 0.15,-,0.19,fm.
