   Beam Normal Single Spin Asymmetry Measurements from QWeak

   Buddhini P. Waidyawansa · the QWeak Collaboration

   The Q weak experiment has made several interesting beam normal single spin asymmetry measurements. Preliminary result from a 3.2% measurement of the beam normal single spin asymmetry in elastic e+p scattering at E = 1.155 GeV and {\theta} lab = 7.8(deg) is presented. We have also made measurements of this asymmetry in elastic and inelastic scattering in the Delta resonance region from Hydrogen, Aluminum and Carbon targets and e+e scattering from Hydrogen target. Some initial results from these measurements are also presented.

   Ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions: where the spectators flow?

   Sergei A. Voloshin🇺🇸 · Takafumi Niida🇺🇸

   In high energy heavy ion collisions, the directed flow of particles is conventionally measured with respect to that of the projectile spectators, which is defined as positive $x$ direction. But it is not known if the spectators deflect in the "outward" direction or "inward" -- toward the center line of the collision. In this Letter we discuss how the measurements of the directed flow at mid-rapidity, especially in asymmetric collision such as Cu+Au, can be used to answer this question. We show that the existing data strongly favor the case that the spectators, in the ultrarelativistic collisions, on average deflect outwards.

   Ferro-deformation at the nuclear system with protons, Z = 20 and neutrons, N = 40: 60Ca

   Chang-Bum Moon

   We present a possibility that the system with Z = 20, N = 40, 60Ca, has a large deformation, even though it has both proton and neutron magic numbers, symbolizing a spherical nucleus. This large deformation corresponds to the so-called ferro-deformation that occurs at the particular critical points over the nuclear chart. By comparisons with the ferra-deformation at the critical point Z = 40, N = 64 [arXiv:1604.02786], we draw a conclusion that shape phase transitions should occur at Z = 18 or 20 when N = 36 to 38, which leads to a ferro-deformation at the critical points of Z = 18 or 20, N = 40; 58Ar, 60Ca. We explain the shape phase transition in terms of isospin dependent spin-orbital interactions between neutrons in the f5/2 orbital and protons in the f7/2 orbital. We find a universal behavior over the nuclear chart for yielding the ferro-deformation such that; Z = 64, N = 104, Z = 40, N = 64, and Z = 20, N = 40, respectively. This feature is linked to concept of the neutron(n)-proton(p)interaction in spin-orbital couplings such that; nh9/2-ph11/2, ng7/2-pg9/2, and nf5/2-pf7/2, respectively. It is suggested that triple shape coexistence would be possible in the Z = 20, N = 36, 56Ca, and the Z = 18, N = 36, 54Ar, where the ferro-deformation is expected to be built on the second 0+ state. The predicted level schemes for 52Ar, 54Ar, 56Ar, 56Ca, 58Ca, and 60Ca are presented.
