- The half-lives of three β-decaying states of 13149In82 have been measured with the GRIFFIN γ-ray spectrometer at the TRIUMF-ISAC facility to be T1/2(1/2−)=328(15)ms, T1/2(9/2+)=265(8)ms, and T1/2(21/2+)=323(55)ms, respectively. The first observation of γ rays following the βn decay of 131In into 130Sn is reported. The β-delayed neutron emission probability is determined to be P1n=12(7)% for the 21/2+ state and 2.3(3)% from the combined 1/2− and 9/2+ states of 13149In82 observed in this experiment. A significant expansion of the decay scheme of 131In, including 17 new excited states and 35 new γ-ray transitions in 13150Sn81 is also reported. This leads to large changes in the deduced β-branching ratios to some of the low-lying states of 131Sn compared to previous work with implications for the strength of the first-forbidden β transitions in the vicinity of doubly magic 13250Sn82.

- Three nearly degenerate pairs of doublet bands are identified in Ba-131. Two of them, with positive-parity, are interpreted as pseudospin-chiral quartet bands. This is the first time that a complete set of chiral doublet bands built on the pseudospin partners pi(d(5/2), g(7/2)) is observed. The chiral bands with opposite parity built on 3-quasiparticle configurations are directly connected by many E1 transitions, without involving an intermediary non-chiral configuration. The observed band structures in Ba-131 have been investigated by using the reflection-asymmetric particle rotor model. The energies and the electromagnetic transition ratios of the three pairs of doublet bands observed in Ba-131 are reproduced and they are interpreted as chiral doublet bands with three-quasiparticle configurations. It is the first time that multiple chiral bands are observed in the presence of enhanced octupole correlations and pseudospin symmetry.

- Background: gamma -ray spectroscopy studies of the Sn isotopes provide important information on nuclear structure and shell evolution across the long isotopic chain between the doubly-magic Sn-100 and Sn-132 nuclei. These studies also offer great value to test and tune nuclear models which can then be applied to other regions of the nuclear chart. Purpose: We aim to expand the level scheme of Sn-118 by populating low-spin states in the range of 3-5 MeV and determine their angular momentum for the possible connection of these states to pygmy quadrupole Resonances, a new phenomenon observed in the neighboring Sn-112,Sn-114,Sn-124 isotopes as a resonance-like structure in the 3-5 MeV range. Method: Excited states in Sn-118 were populated via the Sn-117(n, gamma)Sn-118 reaction at the Institut Laue-Langevin in Grenoble, France. The FIssion Product Prompt gamma-ray Spectrometer (FIPPS), an array of eight n -type high purity Germanium clover detectors augmented with eight additional clover detectors from IFIN "Horia Hulubei" were used to detect gamma rays from excited states in Sn-118. The array provides a superior efficiency for gamma -ray detection and nearly 4 pi coverage for the measurements of angular correlations for spin assignment of excited nuclear levels. Results: Through gamma -gamma coincidences, 112 excited states were identified with 57 being newly placed in the level scheme. From these states, 567 gamma -ray transitions were observed with 501 being newly identified. Many levels were identified in the 3-5 MeV region. Further, an indirect measurement of the E0 transition which decays from the 0(3)(+) state to the 2p -2h, 0(2)(+) state was performed and the q(K)(2)(E0/E 2) and X(E0/E2) for this transition were determined to be 12.7(11) and 6.3(5), respectively. The 10(3) x rho(2)(E0) was determined to be >38 based on a half-life limit of <200 ps of the 2057-keV, 0(3)(+) level. Conclusions: The abundant spectroscopic information on Sn-118 obtained in the present experiment is an important input to the theoretical description of nuclei in the region and highlights the capabilities of the FIPPS array at ILL in conjunction with neutron capture reactions. Many states identified in the 3-5 MeV region could very likely have J = 2(+) and contribute to the pygmy quadrupole resonances.

Guidelines for DC preparation and flow cytometry analysis of mouse nonlymphoid tissues

- This article is part of the Dendritic Cell Guidelines article series, which provides a collection of state-of-the-art protocols for the preparation, phenotype analysis by flow cytometry, generation, fluorescence microscopy and functional characterization of mouse and human dendritic cells (DC) from lymphoid organs and various nonlymphoid tissues. DC are sentinels of the immune system present in almost every mammalian organ. Since they represent a rare cell population, DC need to be extracted from organs with protocols that are specifically developed for each tissue. This article provides detailed protocols for the preparation of single-cell suspensions from various mouse nonlymphoid tissues, including skin, intestine, lung, kidney, mammary glands, oral mucosa and transplantable tumors. Furthermore, our guidelines include comprehensive protocols for multiplex flow cytometry analysis of DC subsets and feature top tricks for their proper discrimination from other myeloid cells. With this collection, we provide guidelines for in-depth analysis of DC subsets that will advance our understanding of their respective roles in healthy and diseased tissues. While all protocols were written by experienced scientists who routinely use them in their work, this article was also peer-reviewed by leading experts and approved by all coauthors, making it an essential resource for basic and clinical DC immunologists.
