    Abstract An experimentally constrained equation of state of neutron-rich matter is fundamental for the physics of nuclei and the astrophysics of neutron stars, mergers, core-collapse supernova explosions, and the synthesis of heavy elements. To this end, we investigate the potential of constraining the density dependence of the symmetry energy close to saturation density through measurements of neutron-removal cross sections in high-energy nuclear collisions of 0.4 to 1 GeV/nucleon. We show that the sensitivity of the total neutron-removal cross section is high enough so that the required accuracy can be reached experimentally with the recent developments of new detection techniques. We quantify two crucial points to minimize the model dependence of the approach and to reach the required accuracy: the contribution to the cross section from inelastic scattering has to be measured separately in order to allow a direct comparison of experimental cross sections to theoretical cross sections based on density functional theory and eikonal theory. The accuracy of the reaction model should be investigated and quantified by the energy and target dependence of various nucleon-removal cross sections. Our calculations explore the dependence of neutron-removal cross sections on the neutron skin of medium-heavy neutron-rich nuclei, and we demonstrate that the slope parameter L of the symmetry energy could be constrained down to ±10  MeV by such a measurement, with a 2% accuracy of the measured and calculated cross sections.

    Abstract The double-gamma (γγ)-decay of a quantum system in an excited state is a fundamental second-order process of quantum electrodynamics. In contrast to the well-known single-gamma (γ)-decay, the γγ-decay is characterized by the simultaneous emission of two γ quanta, each with a continuous energy spectrum. In nuclear physics, this exotic decay mode has only been observed for transitions between states with spin-parity quantum numbers J(π) = 0(+) (refs 1-3). Single-gamma decays-the main experimental obstacle to observing the γγ-decay-are strictly forbidden for these 0(+) → 0(+) transitions. Here we report the observation of the γγ-decay of an excited nuclear state (J(π) = 11/2(-)) that is directly competing with an allowed γ-decay (to ground state J(π) = 3/2(+)). The branching ratio of the competitive γγ-decay of the 11/2(-) isomer of (137)Ba to the ground state relative to its single γ-decay was determined to be (2.05 ± 0.37) × 10(-6). From the measured angular correlation and the shape of the energy spectra of the individual γ-rays, the contributing combinations of multipolarities of the γ radiation were determined. Transition matrix elements calculated using the quasiparticle-phonon model reproduce our measurements well. The γγ-decay rate gives access to so far unexplored important nuclear structure information, such as the generalized (off-diagonal) nuclear electric polarizabilities and magnetic susceptibilities.

    Abstract Degeneration of dopamine (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) causes the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. The development of cell-replacement therapies for Parkinson's disease motor symptoms is hampered by poor acquisition and retention of the DA phenotype by endogenous and transplanted neurons. Factors which regulate the DA phenotype in the adult SNc are, therefore, keenly sought. Transcription of the rate-limiting enzyme in DA synthesis, tyrosine hydroxylase, and possibly other DA genes, is known to be regulated by changes in membrane potential and intracellular Ca²⁺. Furthermore, emerging evidence indicates DA gene transcription is sensitive to fast membrane potential changes and intracellular Ca²⁺ transients, that is, those associated with normal rates and patterns of neuronal activity. In other words, the DA phenotype is activity-dependent. In this review, we highlight the importance of spatiotemporal Ca²⁺ dynamics for regulating gene expression in cells, and the possible role of fast Ca²⁺ dynamics associated with normal rates and patterns of neuronal activity. We review evidence supporting activity- and Ca²⁺-dependent regulation of the DA phenotype in cells, including SNc neurons, as well as knowledge about the molecular pathways intervening between intracellular Ca²⁺ and TH gene expression. We describe the electrophysiology of SNc DA neurons, emphasizing features that may regulate DA gene expression. We conclude by bringing together this information in a model of how neuronal activity might regulate the DA phenotype in SNc neurons.

    Abstract The cerebellum's influence on voluntary movement is mediated, in large part, through the cerebello-thalamo-cortical (CTC) pathway. Of particular relevance here are those neurons in the cerebellar nuclei that project, via thalamus, to pyramidal tract neurons in primary motor cortex. Several lines of evidence implicate cerebello-thalamic (CT) synaptic plasticity as a neural substrate underlying movement adaptation in adult animals. CT synapses exhibit a number of structural characteristics suggestive of a capacity for both formation of new synapses, and alterations in efficacy of transmission across existing synapses. Long-term potentiation can be evoked across CT synapses in vitro by high frequency stimulation, albeit in young animals. Evidence regarding the contribution of CT synaptic plasticity to two different types of movement adaptation in adult animals is conflicting. Adaptation involving a strengthening and re-coordination of voluntary movement is associated with an increase in density of CT synaptic boutons and an increase in number of synaptic vesicles available for immediate neurotransmitter release within each bouton. On the other hand, adaptation involving associative conditioning of a reduced sensorimotor neural circuit is associated with plasticity at thalamo-cortical but not CT synapses. These conflicting findings may reflect differences in the extent of synaptic re-organization that occurs at thalamic versus cortical levels, differences in the neural circuitry mediating each behavior, and/or differences in the spatio-temporal convergence of activity in the thalamus during the adaptive processes. It is concluded that CT synaptic plasticity can underlie movement adaptation if the adaptation requires reorganization of the cerebellum's influence on cerebral cortex.

    Abstract In the next years the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research FAIR will be constructed at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum fur Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt, Germany. This new accelerator complex will allow for unprecedented and pathbreaking research in hadronic, nuclear, and atomic physics as well as in applied sciences. This manuscript will discuss some of these research opportunities, with a focus on few-body physics.
