被引用回数:2 パーセンタイル:47.44(Physics, Nuclear)The decay of excited states in No was investigated by applying the evaporation-residue-conversion-electron correlation technique. Two new isomeric states were observed in No together with the previously known one. Excitation energies of the isomeric states were estimated based on the energies of conversion electrons and rays from correlation chains. These results were in accord with theoretical calculations based on the mean-field models. A tentative decay scheme of isomeric states in No is proposed, and their Nilsson configurations are discussed. The energy decrease of the 11/2[725] Nilsson level for heavy =153 isotones as a function of increasing proton number is confirmed.

被引用回数:8 パーセンタイル:67.79(Physics, Nuclear)Nuclear structure of Fm, Fm, and their daughter nuclei were investigated via detection of their radioactive decays, , , and spontaneous fission. Measured -decay energies, half-lives, and branching ratios improve the literature data significantly. A signature for detection of the hitherto unknown Cm was found in the -decay chains from Fm. Two groups of events with average energies of 6.69(2) MeV and 7.01(2) MeV and with a half-life of = 300, s are suggested to originate from Cm. Tentative decay schemes for Fm, Cf, Cm, and Fm, Cf isotopes are suggested based on the present experimental data. Systematical trends of single-particle states in =141 isotones of = 92-98 nuclei are discussed.

被引用回数:16 パーセンタイル:83.79(Physics, Nuclear)A search for super-allowed decay of N=Z nuclei Te and Xe was carried out using a novel recoil-decay scintillator detector at the tandem accelerator facility at Japan Atomic Energy Agency. Inorganic crystal scintillation material of YAP:Ce (Yttrium Aluminium Perovskite) coupled to position-sensitive photo-multiplier tube (PSPMT) was implemented for the first time in a radioactive decay experiment. Residues from the fusion-evaporation reaction Ni+Fe Xe were separated by the JAEA Recoil Mass Separator (RMS) and implanted into the YAP:Ce crystal. decays of neutron-deficient tellurium isotopes were identified and proton-emission of I was observed. No conclusive evidence was found for the decay chain XeTe Sn within 3 days experiment. The cross section limit of 130 pb was obtained for production of two events of Xe, about an order of magnitude below the expectation based on earlier cross section measurements and HIVAP calculations.

被引用回数:12 パーセンタイル:76.08(Physics, Nuclear)The results for nuclei above curium, produced in multi-nucleon transfer reactions of Ca+Cm at the velocity filter SHIP of GSI Darmstadt, are presented. Spontaneous fission and activities have been used to study the population of nuclei with lifetimes ranging from few milliseconds to several days. We observed several, relatively neutron-rich isotopes with atomic numbers Z 98; among them a weak 224 millisecond activity which we tentatively attributed to No. The measured cross-sections of the observed nuclei give hope that multi-nucleon transfer reactions are a way to reach new neutron-rich heavy and superheavy nuclei, which are not accessible in other reactions. We compare our results with data from earlier experiments and discuss limitations and future perspectives of the method.

被引用回数:171 パーセンタイル:93.43(Physics, Nuclear)The reaction Cr+Cm was investigated at the velocity filter SHIP at GSI with the intention to study production and decay properties of isotopes of element 120. Three correlated signals were measured, which occurred within a period of 279 ms. The heights of the signals correspond with the expectations for a decay sequence starting with an isotope of element 120. However, a complete decay chain cannot be established, since a signal from the implantation of the evaporation residue cannot be identified unambiguously. Measured properties of the event chain are discussed in detail. The result is compared with theoretical predictions. Previously measured decay properties of even element super-heavy nuclei were compiled in order to find arguments for an assignment from the systematics of experimental data. In the course of this review, a few tentatively assigned data could be corrected. New interpretations are given for results which could not be assigned definitely in previous studies. The discussion revealed that the cross-section for production of element 120 could be high enough so that a successful experiment seems possible with presently available techniques. However, a continuation of the experiment at SHIP for a necessary confirmation of the results obtained in a relatively short irradiation of five weeks is not possible at GSI presently. In the summary and outlook section we also present concepts for the continuation of research in the field of super-heavy nuclei.

被引用回数:5 パーセンタイル:38.91(Physics, Nuclear)Isomeric states in Po and Po were studied at the velocity filter SHIP. The isotopes were produced in the fusion-evaporation reactions Pr(Fe, )Po and Sm(V, )Po. Several new -ray transitions were attributed to the isomers and - coincidences for both isomers were studied for the first time. The 459-keV transition earlier, tentatively proposed as de-exciting the isomeric level in Po, was replaced by a new 248-keV transition, and the spin of this isomer was reassigned from (11) to (10). The de-excitation of the (11) isomeric level in Po by the 154-keV transition was confirmed and a parallel de-excitation by a 733-keV (E3) transition to (8) level of the ground-state band was suggested. Moreover, side feeding to the (4) level of the ground-state band was proposed. The paper also discusses strengths of transitions de-exciting 11 isomers in neighboring Po and Pb isotopes.

被引用回数:29 パーセンタイル:87.47(Physics, Nuclear)Shell-correction energies of super-heavy nuclei are approximated by using Q values of measured decay chains. Five decay chains were analyzed, which start at the isotopes Fl, 118, Lv, Lv and Lv. The data are compared with predictions of macroscopic-microscopic models. Fission barriers are estimated that can be used to eliminate uncertainties in partial fission half-lives and in calculations of evaporation-residue cross-sections. In that calculations, fission probability of the compound nucleus is a major factor contributing to the total cross-section. The data also provide constraints on the cross-sections of capture and quasi-fission in the entrance channel of the fusion reaction. Arguments are presented that fusion reactions for synthesis of isotopes of elements 118 and 120 may have higher cross-sections than assumed so far.

被引用回数:66 パーセンタイル:96.93(Astronomy & Astrophysics)In deep inelastic multinucleon transfer reactions of Ca +Cm we observed about 100 residual nuclei with proton numbers between Z =82 and Z =100. Among them, there are five new neutron-deficient isotopes: U, Np, Am, Am and Bk. As separator for the transfer products we used the velocity filter SHIP of GSI while the isotope identification was performed via the -decay chains of the nuclei. These first results reveal that multinucleon transfer reactions together with here applied fast and sensitive separation and detection techniques are promising for the synthesis of new isotopes in the region of heaviest nuclei.

The combined analysis allowed us for the first time to clearly show that crossing the Z=82 shell to higher proton numbers strongly accelerates the decay. The analysis support the conjecture that both the N=126 and Z=82 shell closures stongly influence the -formation probability.

We observed strong variation of the fragment mass distribution with incident energy, which was explained by an energy dependence of the probabilities for fusion and quasifission. A calculation based on a fluctuation-dissipation model was carried out to determine the fusion probability in the reactions of Si+U and S+U. The fusion probabilities were consistent with those determied from the evaporation residue cross sections for both reactions, showing that in-beam fission measurement and analysis can give a reasonable estimation for the cross sections to produce super-heavy nuclei. We also discss the results for in-beam fission measurement of Ca+U.

被引用回数:25 パーセンタイル:76.85(Physics, Nuclear)The influence of the structure of projectile and target nuclei on the capture cross-sections was investigated for the reactions S+Pb and S+Pb. Capture cross-sections were deduced by measuring the fission fragments using multi-wire proportional counters. An enhancement of the capture cross-sections relative to an one-dimensional barrier penetration model was observed for all reactions at energies below the interaction barriers. The enhancement is larger in the case of reactions with S than with S. This observation is explained by a stronger coupling to the vibrational states in the reactions with S. Comparing the capture cross-sections and the evaporation-residue cross-sections for the reactions S+Pb and S+Pb, both yielding the same compound nucleus Cf, it is shown that the latter reaction has a lower fusion probability.

被引用回数:78 パーセンタイル:95.42(Physics, Nuclear)Fission cross sections and fission fragment mass distributions were measured in the reactions of Ca + U and Ca + U at energies around the Coulomb barrier. Fusion probabilities were calculated based on the fluctuation dissipation model. The measured mass distributions for both reactions showed an asymmetric shape at low incident energies, whereas the distribution changed to a flat shape at higher energies. The variation of the mass distribution is explained by a change of the ratio between fusion and qasifission with nuclear orientation. The calculation reproduced the mass distributions and their energy dependence. The trajectories for fusion-fission were used to determine the fusion probability. Fusion probabilities for both reactions are identical as function of the center-of-mass energy, but they differ when plotted as function of the excitation energy. The calculated evaporation residue cross sections for the reaction Ca + U using a statistical model showed that sub-barrier fusion reaction can be applied to form the element 112.

Besides the established strong transitions from the 9/2[734] Nilsson level in Fm, populated predominantly by the decay of No, into the ground-state(gs) rotational band, a couple of weaker lines were observed and placed into the Fm level scheme. The transition from the 7/2 level in Es, populated by the decay of Md, into the 9/2 member of the gs rotational band, so far established for other odd-mass Es isotopes, was observed clearly. The GEANT4 simulations were performed to investigate the influence of energy summing between particles and conversion electrons (CE) on the shape of the spectra at different implantation energies, leading to evidence for a weak decay branch of No into the gs of Fm or the ground-state rotational band, respectively.

We observed a strong variation of the distribution as function of bombarding energy. The results were interpreted by the effects of nuclear deformation of the target nucleus on the competition between fusion and quasifission. The symmetric fission includes fusion-fission, wheres as the asymmetric fission represents quasifission. The fusion probabilities were determined with the help of fluctuation-dissipation model. The estimated evaporation residue cross sections (Sg and Hs) produced in Si + U and S+U reproduced the experimental data.

The excitation energy of the known single-particle isomeric state (5/2[622]) was measured by delayed coincidence between -rays and implanted evaporation residues and was placed into the level scheme. In addition, decay of a high-lying multi-quasiparticle isomer in No was studied using e- coincidence measurements. A rotational band populated by its de-excitation was identified in No. A new isomeric state in Fm was observed and a partial-level scheme for this isotope is suggested. In addition transitions from excited levels are reproduced for Md.
