Investigation of the determination of nuclear deformation using high-energy heavy-ion scattering
Background: Nuclear deformation provides a crucial characteristic of nuclear structure. Conventionally, the quadrupole deformation length of a nucleus, $δ_{2}$, has often been determined based on a macroscopic model through a deformed nuclear potential with the deformation length $δ^{\rm (pot)}_{2}$, which is determined to reproduce the nuclear scattering data. This approach assumes $δ_{2}=δ^{\rm (pot)}_{2}$ although there is no theoretical foundation. Purpose: We clarify the relationship b…

Seeing a lot of this today. It's not that I am willing to contemplate rightwing extremism, it's that it is as plain as day that Biden is too old, and once again we are watching the Dems completely fail to lead. Groundwork should have been laid 4yrs ago.
Never underestimate the Democrats' ability to utterly fail to read the room, yet arrogantly assume that we will vote for them no matter what bullshit they foist upon us.

Amy: How many times?
Hugh: Only once.
Amy: Because somebody—
Todd: It happened twice.
Amy: It had to have happened more than one time.
Hugh: OK, then I probably did it, like, three times.
Amy: All right, why?
Hugh: I don't know. Because I needed to go so bad.
Ryan: Well, why didn't you just go to the bathroom?
Hugh: Because I was like so far away from the bathroom and—
Listeners, there is a bathroom in the basement.

High-speed Readout System of X-ray CMOS Image Sensor for Time Domain Astronomy
We developed an FPGA-based high-speed readout system for a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor to observe soft X-ray transients in future satellite missions, such as HiZ-GUNDAM. Our previous research revealed that the CMOS image sensor has low-energy X-ray detection capability (0.4-4 keV) and strong radiation tolerance, which satisfies the requirements of the HiZ-GUNDAM mission. However, CMOS sensors typically have small pixel sizes (e.g., $\sim$10 ${\rm μm}$), resultin…
