被引用回数:20 パーセンタイル:79.38(Physics, Nuclear)Recent developments in precision mass spectrometry of radioactive isotopes (RI) and some selected related physics subjects are reviewed. Although the progress of RI beam facilities was enormous in the last decades and new, more powerful facilities are expected to come in operation in the coming few years, some regions on the nuclidic chart will remain unaccessible for experiments. Therefore, the properties of nuclides, in particular heavy neutron-rich nuclei, will have to be determined through theoretical calculations. It is an important quest to use the new precision masses for constraining and further developing of reliable nuclear theory. In this review article we focus on the recent experimental challenges and findings as well as on the cutting-edge experimental technologies and mass formula theories.

被引用回数:1 パーセンタイル:48.27(Astronomy & Astrophysics)The decay of Re, which lies near the boundary between the regions of predicted prolate and oblate deformations, has been investigated using the KEK Isotope Separation System (KISS) in RIKEN Nishina Center. The ground state of Re has been assigned = based on the observed feedings and deduced log values towards the and states in Os, which is known as a typical -soft nucleus. The shape transition from axial symmetry to axial asymmetry in the Re isotopes is discussed from the viewpoint of single-particle structure using the nuclear Skyrme-Hartree-Fock model.

被引用回数:5 パーセンタイル:66.98(Instruments & Instrumentation)An electrostatic time-of-flight detector named E-MCP has been developed for quick diagnostics of circulating beam and timing measurement in mass spectrometry at the Rare-RI Ring in RIKEN. The E-MCP detector consists of a conversion foil, potential grids, and a microchannel plate. Secondary electrons are released from the surface of the foil when a heavy ion hits it. The electrons are accelerated and deflected by 90 toward the microchannel plate by electrostatic potentials. A thin carbon foil and a thin aluminum-coated mylar foil were used as conversion foils. We obtained time resolutions of 69(1) ps and 43(1) ps (standard deviation) for a Kr beam at an energy of 170 MeV/u when using the carbon and the aluminum-coated mylar foils, respectively. A detection efficiency of approximately 90% was obtained for both foils. The E-MCP detector equipped with the carbon foil was installed inside the Rare-RI Ring to confirm particle circulation within a demonstration experiment on mass measurements of nuclei around Ge produced by in-flight fission of uranium beam at the RI Beam Factory in RIKEN. Periodic time signals from circulating ions were clearly observed. Revolution times for Ge, Ga, and Zn were obtained. The results confirmed successful circulation of the short-lived nuclei inside the Rare-RI Ring.
