- Background A radical left pancreatectomy in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) may require extended, multivisceral resections. The role of a laparoscopic approach in extended radical left pancreatectomy (ERLP) is unclear since comparative studies are lacking. The aim of this study was to compare outcomes after laparoscopic vs open ERLP in patients with PDAC. Methods An international multicenter propensity-score matched study including patients who underwent either laparoscopic or open ERLP (L-ERLP; O-ERLP) for PDAC was performed (2007-2015). The ISGPS definition for extended resection was used. Primary outcomes were overall survival, margin negative rate (R0), and lymph node retrieval. Results Between 2007 and 2015, 320 patients underwent ERLP in 34 centers from 12 countries (65 L-ERLP vs. 255 O-ERLP). After propensity-score matching, 44 L-ERLP could be matched to 44 O-ERLP. In the matched cohort, the conversion rate in L-ERLP group was 35%. The L-ERLP R0 resection rate (matched cohort) was comparable to O-ERLP (67% vs 48%; P = 0.063) but the lymph node yield was lower for L-ERLP than O-ERLP (median 11 vs 19, P = 0.023). L-ERLP was associated with less delayed gastric emptying (0% vs 16%, P = 0.006) and shorter hospital stay (median 9 vs 13 days, P = 0.005), as compared to O-ERLP. Outcomes were comparable for additional organ resections, vascular resections (besides splenic vessels), Clavien-Dindo grade >= III complications, or 90-day mortality (2% vs 2%, P = 0.973). The median overall survival was comparable between both groups (19 vs 20 months, P = 0.571). Conversion did not worsen outcomes in L-ERLP. Conclusion The laparoscopic approach may be used safely in selected patients requiring ERLP for PDAC, since morbidity, mortality, and overall survival seem comparable, as compared to O-ERLP. L-ERLP is associated with a high conversion rate and reduced lymph node yield but also with less delayed gastric emptying and a shorter hospital stay, as compared to O-ERLP.

Fine structure in the beta-delayed proton decay of Ar-33

- Low-energy beta-delayed protons from Ar-33 have been measured for the first time, The data reveal states, which, despite unfavourable barrier penetrability values, strongly decay to the first excited 2(+) state in S-32. The observation is discussed in terms of the standard shell model, A natural explanation is provided by the large spectroscopic amplitudes, involving s(1/2) and d(3/2) orbitals, as well as the l = 0 barrier penetrability, favouring the decay to the 2(+) state.

Collective rotational motion in the N=Z nucleus 36Ar
- 2001

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A superdeformed rotational band has been identified in the N = Z nucleus 36Ar, firmly linked to known low-spin states, and observed to its high-spin termination at Iπ = 16+. Lifetime measurements by the Doppler shift attenuation method establish a large low-spin deformation (β2 ≈ 0.46) and a decrease in the collectivity as the band approaches termination. Comparisons with cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky and large-scale spherical shell model calculations lead to a consistent description of the band based on a configuration in which four particles are promoted to the pf shell. With two major shells active for both protons and neutrons, yet a valence space dimension small enough to be approached from the shell model perspective, this band offers an excellent opportunity to investigate the microscopic structure of collective rotational motion in nuclei.

- Lifetimes have been measured in a superdeformed rotational band recently identified in the N = Z nucleus 36Ar. A large low-spin quadrupole deformation (β2=0.46±0.03) is confirmed and a decrease in the collectivity is observed as the high-spin band termination at Iπ=16+ is approached. Detailed comparisons of the experimental B(E2) values with the results of cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky and large-scale (s1/2d3/2)-pf spherical shell model calculations indicate the need for a more refined treatment of transition matrix elements close to termination in the former, and the inclusion of the complete sd-pf model space in the latter description of this highly-collective rotational band.

- A superdeformed rotational band has been identified in 36Ar, linked to known low-spin states, and observed to its high-spin termination at Iπ = 16+. Cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky and spherical shell model calculations assign the band to a configuration in which four pf-shell orbitals are occupied, leading to a low-spin deformation β2 ≈ 0.45. Two major shells are active for both protons and neutrons, yet the valence space remains small enough to be confronted with the shell model. This band thus provides an ideal case to study the microscopic structure of collective rotational motion.

Intruder configurations in 29 Ne at the transition into the island of inversion: Detailed structure study of 28 Ne
- 2023

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Detailed γ-ray spectroscopy of the exotic neon isotope 28Ne has been performed for the first time using the one-neutron removal reaction from 29Ne on a liquid hydrogen target at 240 MeV/nucleon. Based on an analysis of parallel momentum distributions, a level scheme with spin-parity assignments has been constructed for 28Ne and the negative-parity states are identified for the first time. The measured partial cross sections and momentum distributions reveal a significant intruder p-wave strength providing evidence of the breakdown of the N=20 and N=28 shell gaps. Only a weak, possible f-wave strength was observed to bound final states. Large-scale shell-model calculations with different effective interactions do not reproduce the large p-wave and small f-wave strength observed experimentally, indicating an ongoing challenge for a complete theoretical description of the transition into the island of inversion along the Ne isotopic chain.

Elucidating halo structure by beta decay: beta gamma from the Li-11 decay

- New values for the gamma ray intensities following the beta decay of Li-11 are presented. Special emphasis is put on the determination of the Gamow-Teller transition Li-11 --> Be-11 (1/2(-), 320 keV) to the only bound excited state in Be-11. We show that a shell-model calculation can simultaneously reproduce the half-life of Li-11 and the newly measured branching ratio to the 1/2(-) state provided the Li-11 ground state wave function contains about 50% of s-wave neutron components.
