被引用回数:1 パーセンタイル:0.00(Physics, Nuclear)In the selenium isotopes various shape phenomena are present, in particular the emergence of a dominant oblate deformation in the most neutron-deficient isotopes has been observed. The scenario of shape coexisting oblate and prolate bands has been proposed across the isotopic chain, with the crossing point of such bands being located near Se, where no coexistence has yet been identified. To determine the presence or absence of any low-lying
state in
Se, confirm the level structure, and interpret the nuclear deformation with theoretical models. A combined internal conversion electron and
-ray spectroscopy study was undertaken with the SPICE and TIGRESS spectrometers at the TRIUMF-ISAC-II facility. Nuclear models were provided by the Generalised Triaxial Rotor Model (GTRM) and the collective Generalised Bohr Hamiltonian (GBH). Despite a comprehensive search, no evidence was found for the existence of a
state below 2 MeV in
Se. Significant discrepancies to the previously established positive parity level scheme were found. GBH calculations using UNEDF1 mass parameters were found to reproduce the revised low-lying level structure well.
Se does not have a well defined axial shape. The 2
state at 1601 keV resembles a quasi-
excitation rather than a member of a shape coexisting band; the presence of such a band is all but ruled out.

被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.00(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We investigated the angular correlation of two -rays emitted in neutron capture at the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility of J-PARC. The 14 Ge crystals in a cluster detector and one coaxial Ge crystal were employed. We obtained angular correlation functions for two
-rays emerging in the electromagnetic transitions of the capture reactions on
Gd and
Gd. We found mild angular correlations for the strong, but rare transitions from the resonance state to two excited levels with known spin and parities. In contrast, angular correlations was negligibly small for arbitrary pairs of two
-rays produced in the majority of transitions in continuum states.

被引用回数:5 パーセンタイル:61.57(Physics, Nuclear)The selenium isotopes lie at the heart of a tumultuous region of the nuclear chart where shape coexistence effects grapple with neutron-proton pairing correlations, triaxiality, and the impending proton dripline. In this work a study of Se by internal conversion electron and
-ray spectroscopy was undertaken with the SPICE and TIGRESS arrays. New measurements of the branching ratio and lifetime of the
state were performed yielding a determination of
milliunits. Two state mixing calculations were performed that highlighted the importance of interpretation of such
strength values in the context of shape-coexistence.

被引用回数:15 パーセンタイル:77.80(Physics, Nuclear)The prompt fission -ray energy spectrum for cold-neutron induced fission of
U was measured in the energy range
= 0.8 - 20,MeV, by gaining a factor of about 10
in statistics compared to the measurements performed so far. The spectrum exhibits local bump structures at
4,MeV and
6,MeV, and also a broad one at
15,MeV. In order to understand the origins of these bumps, the
-ray spectra were calculated using a statistical Hauser-Feshbach model, taking into account the de-excitation of all the possible primary fission fragments. It is shown that the bump at
4,MeV is created by the transitions between the discrete levels in the fragments around
Sn, and the bump at
6,MeV mostly comes from the complementary light fragments. It is also indicated that a limited number of nuclides, which have high-spin states at low excitation energies, can contribute to the bump structure around
15,MeV, induced by the transition feeding into the low-lying high-spin states.

Prompt fission -ray spectra (PFGS) are important as they allow us to study the structure and de-excitation process of neutron-rich fission fragments. They are also required for the design of the Gen-IV fast reactors and advanced light-water reactors. For spontaneous fission of

Cf(sf), prompt fission
rays were observed up to energies of about
20 MeV. For neutron-induced fissions, however, the measured PFGS are limited below
= 9
10 MeV. In this work we extended the measurement of the PFGS for cold neutron-induced fission of
U up to
20 MeV by gaining a factor of about 10

The phenomenon of shape coexistence is prevalent in the Z34 region, with isotopes of neutron-deficient even Ge, Se and Kr each exhibiting the characteristic low-lying coexisting 0+ bands which display quadrupole deformation different to that of the ground states. In the selenium isotopes,
Se seem to show a prolate ground structure with shape coexisting oblate excitation, while in
Se the oblate structure appears to have become the ground state. The exact nature of the low-lying structure
Se and any shape coexistence remains uncertain. Combining the Spectrometer for Internal Conversion Electrons (SPICE) with the TIGRESS HPGe Array, a full electron and gamma-ray experimental study of
Se,
Se was undertaken at the TRIUMF ISAC-II facility to unveil the low-lying structure of these nuclei. Details of the device and experiment will be presented, alongside the experimental results and possible structural interpretations for both isotopes.
