Coulomb and Nuclear Breakup at Low Energies: Scaling Laws

We report on a recent work on the low-energy behavior of the breakup cross section in so far as it has important role in the fusion of weakly bound and halo nuclei at near-barrier energies.We assess the way the nuclear component 1994-2004 of this cross section scales with the target mass.In complete accord with previous finding at higher energies w

Design of Electrostatic Feedback for an Experiment to Measure G

The torsion pendulum at the heart of the apparatus Hammocks to measure the gravitational constant, $G$ at the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) is used to measure the gravitational torque between source and test-mass assemblies with two methods.In the Cavendish method, the pendulum moves freely.In the electrostatic-servo method, the
