Title: Reorientation-effect measurement of the first 2$^+$ state in $^{12}$C: confirmation of oblate deformation
Subjects: Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)

A Coulomb-excitation reorientation-effect measurement using the TIGRESS $\gamma-$ray spectrometer at the TRIUMF/ISAC II facility has permitted the first determination of the $\langle 2^+_1\mid\mid \hat{E2} \mid\mid 2^+_1\rangle$ diagonal matrix element in $^{12}$C from particle$-\gamma$ coincidence data. Required state-of-the-art no-core shell model calculations of the nuclear polarizability for the ground and first-excited (2$^+_1$) states in $^{12}$C using chiral NN N$^4$LO500 and NN+3NF350 interactions have been performed. Consistent predictions show a larger polarizability than previously anticipated. The polarizability of the 2$^+_1$ state is introduced into the current and previous Coulomb-excitation reorientation-effect analysis of $^{12}$C. Spectroscopic quadrupole moments of $Q_{_S}(2_1^+)= +0.053(44)$ eb and $Q_{_S}(2_1^+)= +0.08(3)$ eb are determined, respectively, yielding a weighted average of $Q_{_S}(2_1^+)= +0.071(25)$ eb, in agreement with recent ab initio calculations. The present measurement confirms that the 2$^+_1$ state of $^{12}$C is oblate and emphasizes the important role played by the nuclear polarizability in Coulomb-excitation studies of light nuclei.

Title: Defective fission correlation data from the 2E-2v method
Subjects: Instrumentation and Detectors (physics.ins-det); Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)

The double-energy double-velocity ($2E$-$2v$) method allows assessing fission-fragment mass yields prior to and after prompt neutron emission with high resolution. It is, therefore, considered as a complementary technique to assess average prompt neutron multiplicity as a function of fragment properties. We have studied the intrinsic features of the $2E$-$2v$ method by means of event-wise generated fission-fragment data and found severe short-comings in the method itself as well as in some common practice of application. We find that the $2E$-$2v$ method leads to large deviations in the correlation between the prompt neutron multiplicity and pre-neutron mass, which deforms and exaggerates the so called `sawtooth' shape of $\bar{\nu}(A)$. We have identified the treatment of prompt neutron emission from the fragments as the origin of the problem. The intrinsic nature of this deficiency, risk to render $2E$-$2v$ experiments much less interesting. We suggest a method to correct the $2E$-$2v$ data, and recommend applying this method to previous data acquired in $2E$-$2v$ experiments, as well.

Title: The SPEDE spectrometer
Subjects: Instrumentation and Detectors (physics.ins-det); Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)

The electron spectrometer, SPEDE, has been developed and will be employed in conjunction with the Miniball spectrometer at the HIE-ISOLDE facility, CERN. SPEDE allows for direct measurement of internal conversion electrons emitted in-flight, without employing magnetic fields to transport or momentum filter the electrons. Together with the Miniball spectrometer, it enables simultaneous observation of {\gamma} rays and conversion electrons in Coulomb-excitation experiments using radioactive ion beams.

Title: $^{100}$Mo-enriched Li$_2$MoO$_4$ scintillating bolometers for $0ν 2β$ decay search: from LUMINEU to CUPID-0/Mo projects
Authors: D.V. Poda (for LUMINEU, EDELWEISS, and CUPID-0/Mo Collaborations)
Comments: Proceedings of the MEDEX'17 meeting (Prague, May 29 - June 2, 2017)
Subjects: Instrumentation and Detectors (physics.ins-det); Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)

A scintillating bolometer technology based on $^{100}$Mo-enriched lithium molybdate (Li$_2$$^{100}MoO_4) crystals has been developed by LUMINEU to search for neutrinoless double-beta (0\nu 2\beta) decay of ^{100}Mo. The results of several low temperature tests at underground environments have proved the reproducibility of high detector performance and crystal radiopurity: in particular \sim5--6~keV FWHM energy resolution and at least 9\sigma rejection of \alpha's in the vicinity of the 0\nu 2\beta decay of ^{100}Mo (3034 keV) and below 10~\muBq/kg bulk activity of ^{228}Th and ^{226}Ra. A modest acquired exposure (0.1~kg\timesyr) is a limiting factor of the LUMINEU experiment sensitivity to the 0\nu 2\beta decay half-life of ^{100}Mo (T_{1/2} \geq 0.7\times10^{23} yr at 90\% C.L.), however the two-neutrino 2\beta decay has been measured with the best up to-date accuracy, T_{1/2} = \left[6.92 \pm 0.06(\mathrm{stat.}) \pm 0.36(\mathrm{syst.})\right] \times 10^{18} yr. The applicability of the LUMINEU technology for a tonne-scale 0\nu 2\beta decay bolometric project CUPID is going to be demonstrated by the CUPID-0/Mo experiment with \sim5~kg of ^{100}Mo embedded in forty 0.2~kg Li_2$$^{100}$MoO$_4$ scintillating bolometers. A first phase of the experiment with twenty Li$_2$$^{100}$MoO$_4$ detectors is in preparation at the Modane underground laboratory (France) to start by the end of 2017.
