- The nucleosynthesis of elements beyond iron is dominated by neutron captures in the s and r processes. However, 32 stable, proton-rich isotopes cannot be formed during those processes, because they are shielded from the s-process flow and r-process beta-decay chains. These nuclei are attributed to the p and rp process. For all those processes, current research in nuclear astrophysics addresses the need for more precise reaction data involving radioactive isotopes. Depending on the particular reaction, direct or inverse kinematics, forward or time-reversed direction are investigated to determine or at least to constrain the desired reaction cross sections. The Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) will offer unique, unprecedented opportunities to investigate many of the important reactions. The high yield of radioactive isotopes, even far away from the valley of stability, allows the investigation of isotopes involved in processes as exotic as the r or rp processes.

- Background.The aim of the current study was to explore the changing interrelationships among clinical variables through the stages of schizophrenia in order to assemble a comprehensive and meaningful disease model.Methods.Twenty-nine centers from 25 countries participated and included 2358 patients aged 37.21 ± 11.87 years with schizophrenia. Multiple linear regression analysis and visual inspection of plots were performed.Results.The results suggest that with progression stages, there are changing correlations among Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale factors at each stage and each factor correlates with all the others in that particular stage, in which this factor is dominant. This internal structure further supports the validity of an already proposed four stages model, with positive symptoms dominating the first stage, excitement/hostility the second, depression the third, and neurocognitive decline the last stage.Conclusions.The current study investigated the mental organization and functioning in patients with schizophrenia in relation to different stages of illness progression. It revealed two distinct “cores” of schizophrenia, the “Positive” and the “Negative,” while neurocognitive decline escalates during the later stages. Future research should focus on the therapeutic implications of such a model. Stopping the progress of the illness could demand to stop the succession of stages. This could be achieved not only by both halting the triggering effect of positive and negative symptoms, but also by stopping the sensitization effect on the neural pathways responsible for the development of hostility, excitement, anxiety, and depression as well as the deleterious effect on neural networks responsible for neurocognition.

1n and 2n transfer with the borromean nucleus He-6 near the Coulomb barrier

- Angular distributions for In and 2n transfer are reported for the He-6 + Cu-65 system at E-lab = 22.6 MeV. For the first time, triple coincidences between a particles, neutrons, and characteristic gamma rays from the targetlike residues were used to separate the contributions arising from In and 2n transfer. The differential cross sections for these channels, elastic scattering, and fusion were analyzed using a coupled reaction channels approach. The large measured ratio of the 2n-to-1n cross section and the strong influence of 2n transfer on other channels indicate that the dineutron configuration of He-6 plays a dominant role in the reaction mechanism.

- Direct observation of the survival of Au-199 residues after 2n transfer in the He-8 + Au-197 system and the absence of the corresponding Cu-67 in the He-8 + Cu-65 system at various energies are reported. The measurements of the surprisingly large cross sections for Au-199, coupled with the integral cross sections for the various Au residues, is used to obtain the first model-independent lower limits on the ratio of 2n to in transfer cross sections from He-8 to a heavy target. A comparison of the transfer cross sections for He-6.8 on these targets highlights the differences in the interactions of these Borromean nuclei. These measurements for the most neutron-rich nuclei on different targets highlight the need to probe the reaction mechanism with various targets and represent an experimental advance towards understanding specific features of pairing in the dynamics of dilute nuclear systems.

- Differential cross sections for elastic-scattering and neutron-transfer reactions along with cross sections for fusion in the He-8+Cu-65 system are reported at energies above the Coulomb barrier (E-lab = 19.9 and 30.6 MeV). The present work demonstrates the feasibility of using inclusive measurements of characteristic in-beam gamma rays with low-intensity (similar to 10(5) pps) radioactive ion beams to obtain the residue cross sections for fusion and neutron transfer. Exclusive measurements of gamma rays in coincidence with light charged particles have been used to further characterize the direct reactions induced by this double-Borromean nucleus. Coupled reaction channels calculations are used to illustrate the important role played by the transfer channels and to help in understanding the influence of the structure of He-8 on the reaction mechanism.

- Fissioning systems from U to Cm as well as 250Cf were produced by 238U+12C transfer and fusion reactions. The detection of the target-like transfer partner made the characterization of the fissioning systems in (Z, A) and excitation energy possible. The isotopic identification of the fission fragments was achieved by using the VAMOS spectrometer combined to with reactions in inverse kinematics. Results regarding the populated transfer channels and excitation of the target-like transfer partner are presented, as well as the 240Pu fission probability. Isotopic yields of the fission-fragments for 240,*241Pu and 250Cf, having excitation energies of about 10 and 45 MeV, respectively, are discussed.
