Seely et al.<br/>New Jefferson Lab data are presented on the nuclear dependence of the inclusive cross section from ^{2} H, ^{3} He, ^{4} He, ^{9} Be and ^{12} C for 0.3<x<0.9, Q^{2} ≈3–6  GeV^{2} . These data represent the first measurement of the EMC effect for ^{3} He at large x and a significant improvement for ^{4} He. The data do not support previous A-dependent or density-dependent fits to the EMC effect and suggest that the nuclear dependence of the quark distributions may depend on the local nuclear environment.<br/>[Phys.

Mount, Matthew Redshaw, and Edmund G. Myers<br/>Using precision, cryogenic, Penning-trap mass spectrometry we have measured the atomic mass difference M[ ^{115} In]–M[ ^{115} Sn] to be 497.489(10)  keV/c^{2} . Combined with the energy of the 3/2^{+} first excited state of ^{115} Sn [J. Blachot, Nuclear Data Sheets 104, 967 (2005)], the Q va...<br/>[Phys. Rev.

Äystö<br/>The ground-state-to-ground-state Q_{β^{-} } value of ^{115} In was determined to 497.68(17) keV using a high-precision Penning trap facility at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland. From this, a Q_{β^{-} } value of 0.35(17) keV was obtained for the rare β^{-} decay to the first excited state ...<br/>[Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 122501] Published Wed Sep 16, 2009 J. S. Wieslander, J.
