The n-γ angular correlation measurements for the Cr( p, nγ) Mn reaction were performed at E=2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 MeV. The neutron detector was located in the reaction plane at θ=45‡, 90‡ and 120‡ and perpendicularly to this plane at θ= Φ=90‡. The experimental results obtained are in good agreement with predictions of the statistical compound-nucleus theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Angular distributions of gamma rays following the inelastic scattering of protons from Mn have been measured at proton energies below 2.50 MeV. The mixture multipole orders for the transition 983→126 keV and 1,530→0 in Mn have been obtained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Reconciling the paths of extreme rainfall with those of typhoons remains difficult despite advanced forecasting techniques. We use complex networks defined by a nonlinear synchronization measure termed event synchronization to track extreme rainfall over the Japanese islands. Directed networks objectively record patterns of heavy rain brought by frontal storms and typhoons but mask out contributions of local convective storms. We propose a radial rank method to show that paths of extreme rainfall in the typhoon season (August-November, ASON) follow the overall southwest-northeast motion of typhoons and mean rainfall gradient of Japan. The associated eye-of-the-typhoon tracks deviate notably and may thus distort estimates of heavy typhoon rainfall. We mainly found that the lower spread of rainfall tracks in ASON may enable better hindcasting than for westerly-fed frontal storms in June and July.
