被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.02(Physics, Nuclear)-delayed neutron emission was observed in the study of the decay of In at ISOLDE CERN. Neutron emission probabilities from the unbound states in Sn to known low-lying, single-particle states in Sn were measured. The neutron energies were determined using the time-of-flight technique and the decay from excited states in Sn was studied by detecting its rays. Individual -delayed neutron emission probabilities were determined by correlating the relative intensities and energies of neutrons and rays. The new results suggest the violation of the assumption that neutrons are emitted statistically via the intermediate compound nucleus. This impacts the neutron-emission probabilities and other properties of nuclei participating in the r-process. A model of neutron emission, which links the observed neutron emission probabilities to nuclear shell effects, is proposed.

被引用回数:2 パーセンタイル:85.93(Physics, Nuclear)Nuclei in the vicinity of doubly magic nuclei away from the line of stability provide a tremendous testing ground to study the evolution of nuclear shell structure as a function of the unbalance between proton and neutron numbers. The decay In (Z=49, N=83), just one proton below and one neutron above doubly magic Sn, were studied at the ISOLDE Decay Station. Using the RILIS laser ion source, separate measurements of the 9/2 ground state and 1/2 isomer were carried out. With the use of -delayed neutron and -ray spectroscopy, the decay strengths above the neutron separation energy were quantified for the first time. The spins and parities to the neutron-unbound states based were assigned based on the -decay selection rules, the log ft values, and systematics. The experimental findings greatly extend the current knowledge of the In decay from previous works, providing the -strength distribution southeast of Sn.

被引用回数:4 パーセンタイル:57.13(Physics, Nuclear)The structure of Po populated through the EC/ decay of At is investigated using -ray spectroscopy at the ISOLDE Decay Station. The presented level scheme contains 27 new excited states and 43 new transitions, as well as a further 50 previously observed rays which have been (re)assigned a position. Through the analysis using the shell model calculations approximately half of the -decay strength of At is found to proceed via allowed decay and half via first-forbidden decay. The first-forbidden transitions predominantly populate core excited states at high excitation energies, which is qualitatively understood using shell model considerations.

被引用回数:24 パーセンタイル:96.52(Physics, Nuclear)核分裂の発見以降、核分裂片から放出される遅発中性子の存在には、数多くの関心が集められてきた。原子力発電では、遅発中性子は原子炉動特性の計算や炉の安全運転において非常に重要な役割を演じている。それに加え、遅発中性子は、核構造や天体核、特に新世代のRIビーム施設の中心課題である安定線から離れた原子核でも、大きなインパクトをもっている。現在、ベータ崩壊半減期と遅発中性子分岐比に関するいくつかの文献が利用可能であるが、測定と評価によって実施されるべき十分な考証は、それらの文献ではしばしば抜けている。この欠落部に注目し、遅発中性子の核データ評価とそれに関する新しい文献作成の作業が、国際原子力機関(IAEA)の援助の基に着手され、「ベータ遅発中性子用データベースの開発」に関するCoordinated Research Project (CRP)が結成された。本論文では、CRPで行われたこれまでの結果について報告をする。

被引用回数:5 パーセンタイル:47.88(Astronomy & Astrophysics)Gamow-Teller decay is forbidden if the number of nodes in the radial wave functions of the initial and final states is different. This = 0 requirement plays a major role in the decay of heavy neutron-rich nuclei, affecting the nucleosynthesis through the increased half-lives of nuclei on the astrophysical -process pathway below both = 50 (for 82) and = 82 (for 126). The level of forbiddenness of the = 1 10 transition has been investigated from the decay of the ground state of Hg into the single-proton-hole nucleus Tl in an experiment at the ISOLDE Decay Station. From statistical observational limits on possible -ray transitions depopulating the 0 state in Tl, an upper limit of 3.910 % was obtained for the probability of this decay, corresponding to log 8.8 within a 95% confidence limit. This is the most stringent test of the = 0 selection rule to date.

被引用回数:18 パーセンタイル:79.42(Physics, Nuclear)The decay of Mg was used to study the Al nucleus through spectroscopy at the Isotope Separator On-Line facility of CERN. Previous studies identified two -decaying states in Al having spin-parity assignments =4 dominated by the normal configuration (d5/2) (f7/2) and = 1 by the intruder configuration (d5/2) (d3/2)(f7/2). Their unknown ordering and relative energy have been the subject of debate for the placement of Al inside or outside the = 20 "island of inversion". We report here that the 1 intruder lies only 46.6 keV above the 4 ground state. In addition, a new half-life of =44.9(4)ms, that is twice as long as thepreviously measured 20(10) ms, has been determined for Mg. Large-scale shell-model calculations with the recently developed SDPF-U-MIX interaction are compared with the new data and used to interpret the mechanisms at play at the very border of the = 20 island of inversion.

被引用回数:17 パーセンタイル:75.78(Physics, Nuclear)Beta-delayed proton emission from Mg has been measured at ISOLDE, CERN, with the ISOLDE Decay Station setup including both charged-particle and -ray detection capabilities. A total of 27 delayed proton branches were measured including seven so far unobserved. An updated decay scheme, including three new resonances above the proton separation energy in Na and more precise resonance energies, is presented. Beta-decay feeding to two resonances above the Isobaric Analogue State in Na is observed. This may allow studies of the 4032.9(2.4) keV resonance in Ne through the beta decay of Mg, which is important for the astrophysically relevant reaction O(,)Ne. Beta-delayed protons were used to obtain a more precise value for the half-life of Mg, 91.4(1.0) ms.

被引用回数:5 パーセンタイル:39.53(Physics, Nuclear)The levels in Sn populated from the decay of In isomers were investigated at the ISOLDE facility of CERN using the newly commissioned ISOLDE Decay Station. The lowest 1/2 state and the 3/2 ground state in Sn are expected to have configurations dominated by the neutron (=0) and (=2) single-particle states, respectively. Consequently, these states should be connected by a somewhat slow -forbidden transition. Using fast-timing spectroscopy we have measured the half-life of the 1/2 315.3-keV state, = 19(10) ps, which corresponds to a moderately fast transition. Shell-model calculations using the CD-Bonn effective interaction, with standard effective charges and factors, predict a 4-ns half-life for this level. We can reconcile the shell-model calculations to the measured value by the renormalization of the effective operator for neutron holes.
