Nuclear Theory - Abstract
Quantum shell effects stabilising fission fragments with various shapes have been invoked as a factor determining the distribution of nucleons between the fragments at scission. Shell effects also induce asymmetric shapes in the nucleus on its way to fission well before the final fragments are (pre)formed. These shell effects are studied in fission of $^{180}$Hg, $^{236}$U and $^{256}$Fm with constrained Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculations using the D1S parametrisation of the Gogny interaction. Strutinsky shell energy correction and single-particle energy level density near the Fermi surface are computed. Several neutron and proton shell effects are identified as drivers towards asymmetric fission. Shell effects are also used to identify the preformation of the fragments in the later stage of fission., Comment: 11 pages, 7 figures. References updated

Nuclear Theory - Abstract
There has been much recent interest in nuclear fission, due in part to a new appreciation of its relevance to astrophysics, stability of superheavy elements, and fundamental theory of neutrino interactions. At the same time, there have been important developments on a conceptual and computational level for the theory. The promising new theoretical avenues were the subject of a workshop held at the University of York in October 2019; this report summarises its findings and recommendations., Comment: 86 LaTeX pages, 3 figures, 331 references, version published as Topical Review in Journal of Physics G

Nuclear Theory - Abstract
In the present study, we have investigated the impact of the tensor force on fission paths, in particular the symmetric and asymmetric barriers in 230 Th, 226 Th, 222 Th and 216 Th isotopes which display an asymmetric to symmetric fission transition. This analysis has been performed within the HFB approach with (Q 20 ,Q 30 ,Q 40 ) as collective variable constraints, using the D1ST2a Gogny+tensor term interaction and comparing to the standard D1S Gogny interaction results. The effects from the tensor term on the potential energy surface landscape, and especially on barrier heights and its topology by opening a new valley in agreement with experimental data, are found to be crucial in the description of exotic actinide fission. We conclude that a tensor term should be integrated to the long range part of the effective interaction for a better description of the fission., Comment: 24 pages, accepted in Phys. Rev. C

Nuclear Experiment - Abstract
Despite the more than one order of magnitude difference between the measured dipole moments in $^{144}$Ba and $^{146}$Ba, the strength of the octupole correlations in $^{146}$Ba are found to be as strong as those in $^{144}$Ba with a similarly large value of $B(E3;3^- \rightarrow 0^+)$ determined as 48($^{+21}_{-29}$) W.u. The new results not only establish unambiguously the presence of a region of octupole deformation centered on these neutron-rich Ba isotopes, but also manifest the dependence of the electric dipole moments on the occupancy of different neutron orbitals in nuclei with enhanced octupole strength, as revealed by fully microscopic calculations., Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures, accepted for publication in Phys.

Nuclear Theory - Abstract
In this work we study the effect of the nuclear tensor force on properties related with deformation. We focus on isotopes in the Mg, Si, S, Ar, Sr and Zr chains within the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory using the D1ST2a Gogny interaction. Contributions to the tensor energy in terms of saturated and unsaturated subshells are analyzed. Like-particle and proton-neutron parts of the tensor term are independently examinated. We found that the tensor term may considerably modify the potential energy landscapes and change the ground state shape. We analyze too how the pairing characteristics of the ground state change when the tensor force is included., Comment: 46 pages, published in Nuclear Physics A (2016)

Nuclear Theory ,Nuclear Experiment - Abstract
We study the interplay of quadrupole and octupole degrees of freedom in the structure of the isotope $^{144}$Ba. A symmetry conserving configuration mixing method (SCCM) based on a Gogny energy density functional (EDF) has been used. The method includes particle number, parity and angular momentum restoration as well as axial quadrupole and octupole shape mixing within the generator coordinate method. Predictions both for excitation energies and electromagnetic transition probabilities are in good agreement with the most recent experimental data., Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures

- Abstract
180 Hg is experimentally found to fission asymmetrically. This result was not expected as a naive fragment shell effects study would support the symmetric mode to be the most probable. In the present study we investigate both symmetric and asymmetric 180 Hg fission modes at the mean field level using various multipole moment constraints. Potential energy surfaces are analysed in terms of shell effects that shape their topographies and connections to fragment shell effects are made. The non-occurrence of low energy symmetric fission is interpreted in terms of 90 Zr fragment properties. Throughout this study a comparison with 264 Fm and its symmetric doubly magic 132 Sn fission fragments is done. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Nuclear Theory - Abstract
A new approach called the Schr\"odinger Collective Intrinsic Model (SCIM) has been developed to achieve a microscopic description of the coupling between collective and intrinsic excitations. The derivation of the SCIM proceeds in two steps. The first step is based on a generalization of the symmetric moment expansion of the equations derived in the framework of the Generator Coordinate Method (GCM), when both Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) states and two-quasi-particle excitations are taken into account as basis states. The second step consists in reducing the generalized Hill and Wheeler equation to a simpler form to extract a Schr\"odinger-like equation. The validity of the approach is discussed by means of results obtained for the overlap kernel between HFB states and two-quasi-particle excitations at different deformations., Comment: 27 pages, 12 figures, submitted to Phys.

Bernard, Rémi, Giuliani, Samuel Andrea, Robledo Martín, Luis Miguel, Bernard, Rémi, Giuliani, Samuel Andrea, and Robledo Martín, Luis Miguel
- Abstract
We study the role of dynamic pairing correlations in fission dynamics by considering intrinsic Hartree-FockBogoliubov wave functions that are obtained by minimizing the particle number projected energy. For the restricted variational space, the set of self-consistent wave functions with different values of proton and neutron number particle fluctuations are considered. The particle number projected energy is used to define the potential energy surface for fission whereas collective inertias are computed within the traditional formulas for the intrinsic states. The results show that the effect of the restricted variation after particle number projection in the potential energy surface is small while collective inertias substantially decrease. On the other hand, we show that this quenching is strongly mitigated when Coulomb antipairing is considered and therefore the final outcome of the complete calculation is close to the plain mean field result without Coulomb antipairing. In the light of these beyond-mean-field calculations, the validity of traditional fission calculations is discussed.

Au cinéma, ambiance sonore et musique sont rattachées à deux corps de métiers différents, respectivement, le montage son et la composition musicale. Pourtant de nombreux films, notamment dans le domaine de la fiction, semblent faire se croiser ces deux univers dans un but esthétique. A première vue, l’ambiance est un repère spatio‐temporel pour le spectateur et peut éventuellement présenter des caractéristiques esthétiques du point de vue du monteur son. Mais, comme tout élément de la construction audiovisuelle, elle s’inscrit dans un cadre narratif. Dans sa constitution, l’ambiance sonore semble partager des paramètres avec la musique, élément narratif du cinéma.C’est par rapprochement de forme et de structure que l’on essaiera de déterminer les modalités d’expression narrative de l’ambiance sonore, ses formes et fonctions.

Various natural antibiotic target the bacterial cell envelope. Some of them drastically alter the cytoplasmic membrane and others affect specifically the peptidoglycan (major cell wall component) biosynthesis pathway. To overcome this problem, bacteria possess several antibiotic resistance systems that confer them a crucial advantage in their ecologic niche. One of the major mechanisms found in bacteria is the active antibiotic efflux which often involves ABC-type transporters (for ATP Binding Cassette) that extrude antibiotics using ATP as a substrate. Bacteria also possess several systems, first, to detect environmental signals (antibiotic or cell wall stress), and second, to allow the signal transduction resulting in an adaptative response. Two kinds of detection systems are involved in cell wall stress response: phosphorelay systems and extracytoplasmic function sigma factors.Bacillus subtilis is the Gram positive model bacterium of the Firmicute group that contains several pathogen or opportunistic organisms. Some Firmicutes are also ubiquitous and many produce antibiotics. The in silico and in vivo experiments performed in the laboratory on B. subtilis and others Firmicutes have pointed out the occurrence of systems that genetically and functionally couple a phosphorelay with an ABC-type transporter. In B. subtilis, three such systems, named BceRSAB (formerly YtsABCD), YvcPQRS and YxdJKLM, present high similarity. Our goal was to test if these systems could confer resistance to cell wall active antibiotics. Bacitracin is a non ribosomal peptide antibiotic that forms a complex with the undecaprenyl pyrophosphate (UPP) and blocks the last step of the peptidoglycan biosynthesis: regeneration of undecaprenyl phosphate (UP). Our results clearly establish that the BceRSAB system is the major component of bacitracin resistance in B. subtilis. The bceAB operon expression is activated by the phosphorelay BceRS in the presence of bacitracin. We succeed also in identifying the protein, named BcrC, as a different component of the bacitracin resistance in B. subtilis. We demonstrate that BcrC is a UPP phosphatase involved in the regeneration of UP, in opposition with bacitracin action. bcrC gene expression is not dependent on the phosphorelay BceRS, however it is controlled by three different extracytoplasmic function sigma factors. As a conclusion, B. subtilis possesses at least two independent but additive bacitracin resistance systems.We then have turned to the regulation mechanism involved in the BceRSAB bacitracin response. Surprisingly, our results show that the BceAB ABC transporter is not dispensable for the expression of its own structural genes in response to bacitracin. In other words, both the BceRS phosphorelay and the BceAB ABC transporter are necessary to trigger the BceRSAB induction in the presence of bacitracin. Furthermore, when the UPP cellular pool decreases (overproducing the BcrC UPP phosphatase), the BceRSAB bacitracin response is also diminished. We concluded that the UPP molecule participates in the BceRSAB stimulus. Our favoured hypothesis for future work is that the BceAB ABC transporter exports the UPP/bacitracin complex to create a membrane dissymetry sensed by the BceS sensor. Nevertheless, an alternative possibility could be that the BceRSAB regulation mechanism involves a direct interaction between the sensor and the transporter in the presence of bacitracin.Like B. subtilis, several bacteria belonging to the Firmicute group possess both BcrC-like proteins and Bce-like systems. All BcrC-like proteins contain the characteristic motif of the PAP2 phosphatase protein family and we have postulated that they all are UPP phosphatases involved in a key step of the peptidoglycan biosynthesis pathway. The other two Bce-like systems of B. subtilis, YvcPQRS and YxdJKLM, are also induced by different cell wall active antibiotics and we know that the YvcRS transporter is also involved in the regulation mechanism. Accordingly, we propose that all Bce-like systems of Firmicutes are detoxifying units directed against cell wall active antibiotics. These systems could constitute a new family of resistance systems where ABC transporters are necessary for resistance as well as for regulation., L'enveloppe bactérienne est une cible majeure d'un grand nombre d'antibiotiques naturels. Certains provoquent d'importantes perturbations de la membrane cytoplasmique, d'autres ciblent spécifiquement les différentes étapes enzymatiques de la voie de biosynthèse du peptidoglycane, constituant majeur de la paroi. Pour contrer l'action de ces antibiotiques, les bactéries ont développé divers systèmes de résistance leur conférant un avantage sélectif dans leur niche écologique. Le rejet de l'antibiotique est un des principaux mécanismes de résistance rencontré chez les bactéries. Il implique parfois des transporteurs membranaires de type ABC (pour ATP Binding Cassette) pouvant hydrolyser l'ATP pour exporter ou importer un allocrite. Les bactéries possèdent également divers systèmes leur permettant, d'une part, de détecter un signal environnemental (antibiotique ou stress de la paroi qu'il engendre), et, d'autre part, d'assurer la transduction du signal qui aboutit à une réponse adaptée. Deux types de systèmes sont impliqués dans les réponses aux stress de la paroi : les phosphorelais et les facteurs sigma à fonction extracytoplasmique.Le groupe des Firmicutes, dont la bactérie modèle est Bacillus subtilis, est un groupe ubiquitaire producteur d'antibiotiques et contenant de nombreux organismes pathogènes. Les analyses effectuées au laboratoire ont permis d'identifier chez les Firmicutes des systèmes associant un phosphorelais et un transporteur ABC. Dans chacun des cas, les gènes codant les différents partenaires du système sont à proximité sur le chromosome et le phosphorelais régule l'expression des gènes codant le transporteur ABC. On trouve trois de ces systèmes chez B. subtilis nommés BceRSAB (anciennement YtsABCD), YvcPQRS et YxdJKLM. L'objectif de notre étude était de tester l'hypothèse selon laquelle ces systèmes pouvaient être impliqués dans la résistance aux antibiotiques ciblant l'enveloppe bactérienne.La bacitracine est un antibiotique qui se complexe à l'undécaprényl pyrophosphate (UPP) et inhibe la dernière étape de la biosynthèse du peptidoglycane : la régénération de l'undécaprényl phosphate (UP). Nos résultats indiquent que le système BceRSAB est le composant majeur de la résistance à la bacitracine chez B. subtilis. L'expression de l'opéron bceAB est activée, en présence de bacitracine, par le phosphorelais BceRS. Nous avons également identifié une protéine, nommée BcrC, qui participe à la résistance à la bacitracine chez B. subtilis. Nous avons démontré que cette dernière est une UPP phosphatase impliquée dans la régénération de l'UP et s'oppose ainsi à l'action de la bacitracine. L'expression du gène bcrC ne dépend pas du phosphorelais BceRS mais de trois facteurs sigma à fonction extracytoplasmique. En conclusion, B. subtilis possède deux types de systèmes de résistance à la bacitracine indépendants et complémentaires.Nous avons par la suite analysé le mécanisme de régulation de l'induction du système BceRSAB par la bacitracine. Nos résultats sont surprenants et montrent clairement que le transporteur ABC BceAB participe à l'activation de l'expression de ses propres gènes de structure avec le phosphorelais BceRS. De plus, lorsque le pool cellulaire d'UPP diminue (lorsque la phosphatase BcrC est surproduite), et en présence de bacitracine, l'expression du gène bceA diminue également. Ceci montre que l'UPP participe, avec la bacitracine, au stimulus du système BceRSAB. Notre hypothèse de travail est que le transporteur ABC, prédit comme étant un exporteur, prend en charge le complexe UPP/bacitracine et agit comme une flippase pour créer une dissymétrie membranaire ressentie par le senseur BceS. Il n'est pas exclu, qu'en présence de bacitracine, le transporteur BceAB puisse interagir avec le senseur BceS pour permettre l'activation du système.La majeure partie des bactéries du groupe des Firmicutes possède, d'une part, des protéines similaires à BcrC, et, d'autre part, des systèmes similaires au système BceRSAB. Toutes les protéines « BcrC-like » ont un motif caractéristique permettant de les classer dans la famille des phosphatases de type PAP2. Il est tentant de penser qu'elles sont toutes des UPP phosphatases assurant une des étapes clés de la synthèse du peptidoglycane. Par ailleurs, les deux autres systèmes « Bce-like » de B. subtilis, YvcPQRS et YxdJKLM, sont également activés en présence d'antibiotiques ciblant l'enveloppe bactérienne et nous savons que le transporteur ABC YvcRS est aussi impliqué dans le mécanisme de régulation. Nous proposons donc que les systèmes « Bce-like » des Firmicutes sont tous des systèmes de détoxification dirigés contre des antibiotiques ciblant l'enveloppe bactérienne.

We study the interplay of quadrupole and octupole degrees of freedom in the structure of the isotope 144Ba. A symmetry-conserving configuration-mixing method (SCCM) based on a Gogny energy density functional (EDF) has been used. The method includes particle number, parity, and angular momentum restoration as well as axial quadrupole and octupole shape mixing within the generator coordinate method. Predictions both for excitation energies and electromagnetic transition probabilities are in good agreement with the most recent experimental data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
