Proton Distribution Radii of 16–24 O: Signatures of New Shell Closures and Neutron Skin
The root mean square radii of the proton density distribution in 16–24 O derived from measurements of charge changing cross sections with a carbon target at ~900A MeV together with the matter radii portray thick neutron skin for 22–24 O despite 22,24 O being doubly magic. Imprints of the shell closures at N=14 and 16 are reflected in local minima of their proton radii that provide evidence for the tensor interaction causing them. The radii agree with ab initio calculations employing the chiral NNLO sat interaction, though skin thickness predictions are challenged. Furthermore, shell model predictions agree well with the data.
Fractographic analysis of the low energy fracture of an aluminum alloy
A study of the fracture process in a high strength aluminum alloy, 2014T6, was undertaken to identify the void nucleating particles in this material, to determine their composition, and to suggest means by which they might be eliminated without loss of strength.
