    • Effect of the counterrotating-wave terms on the spontaneous emission from a multilevel atom 
      Li, Zheng-Hong; Wang, Da-Wei; Zheng, Hang; Zhu, Shi-Yao; Zubairy, M. Suhail (American Physical Society, 2009)
      The spontaneous decay of a multilevel atom interacting with the electromagnetic field in free space is investigated with a unitary transformation method, which is introduced in order to include all rotating and counter-rotating ...
    • Nuclear-Matter Compressibility from Isoscalar Giant Monopole Resonance 
      Shlomo, S.; Youngblood, David H. (American Physical Society, 1993)
      We examine the status of the nuclear matter compressibility K(nm) obtained from experimental data of the strength distribution of the giant monopole resonance in nuclei and employing a least-squares fit to a semiempirical ...
    • Precise half-life measurement of the superallowed beta(+) emitter (26)Si 
      Iacob, V. E.; Hardy, John C.; Banu, A.; Chen, L.; Golovko, V. V.; Goodwin, J.; Horvat, V.; Nica, N.; Park, H. I.; Trache, L.; Tribble, Robert E. (American Physical Society, 2010)
      We measured the half-life of the superallowed 0(+) -> 0(+) beta(+) emitter (26)Si to be 2245.3(7) ms. We used pure sources of (26)Si and employed a high-efficiency gas counter, whichwas sensitive to positrons from both ...
    • Precise half-life measurement of the superallowed beta(+) emitter (38)K(m) 
      Ball, G. C.; Boisvert, G.; Bricault, P.; Churchman, R.; Dombsky, M.; Lindner, T.; Macdonald, J. A.; Vandervoort, E.; Bishop, S.; D'Auria, J. M.; Hardy, John C.; Iacob, V. E.; Leslie, J. R.; Mak, H. -B. (American Physical Society, 2010)
      The half-life of (38)K(m) has been measured to be 924.46(14) ms, a result that is a factor of two more precise than any of the five previous measurements of this quantity. The previous results are not consistent with one ...
    • Precise half-life measurements for the superallowed beta(+) emitters Ar-34 and Cl-34 
      Iacob, V. E.; Hardy, John C.; Brinkley, J. F.; Gagliardi, Carl A.; Mayes, V. E.; Nica, N.; Sanchez-Vega, M.; Tabacaru, G.; Trache, L.; Tribble, Robert E. (American Physical Society, 2006)
      To contribute meaningfully to any test of the unitarity of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix, the measured ft value of a superallowed 0(+)-> 0(+) beta(+) transition must be obtained to a precision of 0.1% or better. ...
