被引用回数:0 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:5 パーセンタイル:70.77(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:20 パーセンタイル:80.74(Astronomy & Astrophysics)The new neutron-deficient nuclei Es and Bk were synthesised at the gas-filled recoil separator RITU. They were identified by their radioactive decay chains starting from Es produced in the fusion-evaporation reaction Bi(S,3n)Es. Half-lives of 6(2)s and 22s were obtained for Es and Bk, respectively. Two groups of particles with energies =8.19(3) MeV and 8.09(3) MeV were unambiguously assigned to Es. Electron-capture delayed fission branches with probabilities of 0.16(6) and 0.04(2) were measured for Es and Bk, respectively. These new data show a continuation of the exponential increase of ECDF probabilities in more neutron-deficient isotopes.

被引用回数:59 パーセンタイル:88.43(Physics, Multidisciplinary)104番元素Rfの回転励起構造をインビーム線核分光の手法により初めて観測することに成功した。Rfは回転励起構造が観測された最も重い原子核であり、今回の結果は重い極限に位置する原子核の一粒子軌道殻構造と対相関に関する貴重な情報を与える。今回の実験で得られたRfの回転状態の慣性能率の値は、陽子数104における変形閉殻の存在を明確に否定し、近年の数多くの自己無撞着平均場モデルの予測と異なる結果を示した。

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.
