被引用回数:10 パーセンタイル:77.08(Physics, Nuclear)The neutron-deficient mercury isotopes serve as a classical example of shape coexistence, whereby at low energy near-degenerate nuclear states characterized by different shapes appear. The electromagnetic structure of even-mass Hg isotopes was studied using safe-energy Coulomb excitation of neutron-deficient mercury beams delivered by the REX-ISOLDE facility at CERN. The population of 0
, 2
, and 4
states was observed in all nuclei under study. Reduced
matrix elements coupling populated yrast and non-yrast states were extracted, including their relative signs. These are a sensitive probe of shape coexistence and may be used to validate nuclear models. The experimental results are discussed in terms of mixing of two different configurations and are compared with three different model calculations: the Beyond Mean Field model, the Interacting Boson Model with configuration mixing and the General Bohr Hamiltonian. Partial agreement with experiment was observed, hinting to missing ingredients in the theoretical descriptions.

被引用回数:3 パーセンタイル:29.87(Physics, Nuclear)A detailed -decay spectroscopy study of
Tl has been performed at ISOLDE (CERN). Z-selective ionization by the Resonance Ionization Laser Ion Source (RILIS) coupled to mass separation provided a high-purity beam of
Tl. Fine-structure
decays to excited levels in the daughter
Au were identified and an
-decay scheme of
Tl was constructed based on an analysis of
-

-
-
coincidences. Multipolarities of several
-ray transitions deexciting levels in
Au were determined. Based on the analysis of reduced
-decay widths, it was found that all
decays are hindered, which signifies a change of configuration between the parent and all daughter states.

Ar two-neutron transfer reaction at 2.16 MeV/u was studied at CERN using a
Ar radioactive beam and a tritium loaded radioactive target. Angular distributions for three final states were measured and based on the shape of the differential cross section an excited state at 3695 keV was identified as the first excited 0
state. The differential cross-sections for the 0
-ground state, and first excited 2
and 0
states are compared to DWBA calculations including two-step reactions through the intermediate nucleus
Ar. By comparison large scale shell model calculations using state-of-the-art effective interactions, with and without the tensor components of the interactions, it was observed that the cross-shell proton-neutron tensor interaction has measurable effects on the observables at low excitation energy in
Ar.

to the ground state of these nuclei was extracted, which permits to determine the collectivity of these isotopes, which in both cases is deduced to be weak, as expected from the low-lying level-energy scheme. Comparisons were also made with beyond-mean-field model calculations and the magnitude of the transitional quadrupole moments are well reproduced.

被引用回数:8 パーセンタイル:52.89(Physics, Nuclear)Excited states up to an excitation energy of 5.8 MeV were populated in the neutron-rich isotope Ni via the
Ni(d,p) transfer reaction at REX-Isolde, CERN. In particular, single-neutron states above the N=40 sub-shell gap were populated, and the relative spectroscopic factors were extracted using distorted-wave Born approximation analysis. The positive parity g
, d
and s
neutron orbits above the shell closure are assumed to induce strong quadrupole collectivity in neutron-rich Fe and Cr isotopes. The extracted relative spectroscopic factors show that the strength of the d
orbit is mostly split over two states, hinting to substantial mixing of the neutron d
configuration with collective modes of the core. The size of the N=50 shell gap was also estimated, and found to be 2.6 MeV near
Ni, as also determined in lighter Ni isotopes.

Tl is presented. The experiment was performed by producing a pure beam of
Tl by means of highly selective resonance laser ionization followed by mass separation with the ISOLDE isotope separator. A surprising asymmetric mass distribution of fission fragments from
Hg, the daughter of

被引用回数:178 パーセンタイル:97.2(Physics, Multidisciplinary)A very exotic process of -delayed fission of
Tl is studied in detail by using resonant laser ionization with subsequent mass separation at ISOLDE (CERN). In contrast to common expectations, the fission-fragment mass distribution of the post-
-decay daughter nucleus
Hg (

Zr fragments, with magic

= 40. This is a new type of asymmetric fission, not caused by large shell effects related to fragment magic proton and neutron numbers, as observed in the actinide region. The newly-measured branching ratio for
-delayed fission of
Tl is 3.6(7)

Single-neutron states in the = 49 isotope
Zn were populated in the
Zn(d,p)
Zn transfer reaction at REX-ISOLDE, CERN. The combined detection of protons ejected in the reaction and of
rays emitted by
Zn permitted the identification of the lowest-lying 5/2
and 1/2
excited states. The analysis of proton angular distributions links these states to a significant amount of single-particle strength around 1 MeV, and specifically to the
d
and
s
neutron orbits, which lie above the
= 50 neutron shell gap. Comparison with large-scale-shell-model calculations supports a robust
= 50 shell-closure for
Ni. These data constitute a considerable step towards the understanding of the magicity of
Ni and of the structure of isotopes in the region.
