O+
Cf multinucleon transfer reaction was investigated using 
-ray spectroscopy. Analysis of the -ray spectrum of Cf revealed the presence of multiple long-lived (isomeric) excited states at low excitation energies. The energies and half-lives of the isomers contain information on the proton and neutron orbits in the heavy-element region and the deformation of atomic nuclei, and are important data to predict the properties of nuclei in the "island of stability".

被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：67.14(Physics, Nuclear)The neutron-deficient Bi and Po isotopes have been studied by -ray spectroscopy using the recoil-decay tagging technique with the Argonne Gas-Filled Analyzer. A new 0.25(5)-micro second isomeric state and a prompt cascade formed by 319-, 366-, and 462-keV rays have been established on top of the (10
) 
-decaying isomer in Bi. The first excited (2
) state in Po was identified, its excitation energy of 242(2) keV continues the nearly constant trend for the first 2 states in 
Po. The state is most likely a member of a prolate rotational band built on the ground state, albeit mixing with other coexisting configurations cannot be excluded. The new results obtained in the present work provide new information to shape coexistence in bismuth and polonium isotopes near the neutron midshell at 
= 104. In this mass region, a reduction in the prompt -ray yield obtained with recoil decay tagging was observed for a few nuclides, and the possible reasons are presented.

被引用回数：3 パーセンタイル：92.48(Astronomy & Astrophysics)Prompt and delayed -ray spectroscopy of the neutron-deficient, semi-magic isotope Pb has been performed at the Argonne Gas-Filled Analyzer. A new 5.15(15)-
s isomeric state at only 308 keV above the spherical 3/2 ground state is identified and classified as a shape isomer. A strongly-coupled band is observed on top of the isomer, which is nearly identical to the one built on the prolate 7/2[514] Nilsson state in the isotone 
Hg. Based on this similarity and on the result of the potential-energy surface calculations, the new isomer in Pb is proposed to originate from the same configuration. The retarded character of the 308-keV transition can be well explained by the significant difference between the prolate parent and spherical daughter configurations, leading to the shape isomerism. The combined results of the present work and the previous -decay and laser spectroscopy studies present evidence for triple shape coexistence at low energy in the negative-parity configurations of Pb, which is well reproduced by the potential-energy surface calculations.

=82 is the best studied example of low-energy shape coexistence in nuclei. In this work, the internal transition decay and decay of the 53.3-ms isomeric state in Tl were studied at ISOLDE, CERN. The branching for the internal decay was measured to be 98.5(4)%, while the much weaker decay branching is only about 1.4(4)%. The new results include the first identification of an 
transition feeding the 3/2
excited state in Tl. Three decays from the 
Tl isomer were also oserved, and revealed the population of a candidate 9/2 state in 
Au which has been linked to shape coexistence in the Au nuclei. It is expected that similarly weak decays from isomeric states may be found also in neighbouring Tl isotopes.

被引用回数：3 パーセンタイル：92.48(Physics, Nuclear)Asymmetric fission in the neutron-deficient Hg region was first observed about 10 years ago at ISOLDE, and caused a revision of the current understanding of fission in this region. In this work, the fission of Hg and Pd were studied using the time-of-flight spectrometer CORSET at the Flerov Laboratory in Dubna. The observed fission fragments mass distributions of the different isotopes suggest the presence of four concurrent fission modes, one symmetric and three asymmetric fission modes. The asymmetric modes differ in the total kinetic energies and fragment mass splits. These results point out the existence of a well deformed proton shell at =36 and a less deformed proton shell at =46.

被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：32.08(Physics, Nuclear)A new -decaying state in Bi has been identified at the ISOLDE Decay Station at the CERN-ISOLDE facility. A preferred 
assignment was suggested for this state based on the -decay feeding pattern to levels in Po and shell-model calculations. The half-life of the state was deduced to be 
min. The deexcitation of the levels populated in Po by the decay of this state was investigated via 
coincidences and a number of new levels and transitions were identified. Shell-model calculations for excited states in Bi and Po were performed using two different effective interactions: the H208 and the modified Kuo-Herling particle interaction. Both calculations agree on the interpretation of the new -decaying state as an 
isomer and allow for the tentative assignment of shell-model states to several high-spin states in Po.

Bi, magnetic moments and quadrupole moments of the neutron-deficient bismuth isotopes 
Bi were measured at ISOLDE (CERN). In the experiment, the in-source resonance-ionization spectroscopy technique was employed, which permits to study isotopes produced with rates as low as 0.1/sec. The radii of 
Bi manifest a large staggering, corresponding to a sudden increase of the radius of Bi relative to its 
Bi neighbors. This staggering effect occurs at neutron number =105, where shape staggering was also observed in the mercury isotopes. Experimental results were compared with state-of-the-art mean-field calculations, which permit to identify the quasiparticle configurations compatible with the observed spin, parity and magnetic moment of the newly observed states.

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.

In this work, two new isomeric states were found in the odd-odd nuclide Au in an experiment at RITU in JYFL, Jyvaskyla. These two isomers significantly extend the current knowledge of this nucleus and pave the way to future in beam studies where they will be used to tag new gamma rays. Possible spin assignments for the new isomeric states are proposed. Finally, the new data will help clarify the poorly known -decay scheme of two long-lived states in the 
Tl to Au decay chain.

This experimental observable is obtained for the first time in the region around lead using an innovative approach based on inverse kinematics and the coincidence between the large acceptance magnetic spectrometer VAMOS++ and a new detection arm close to the target. The average fragment 
ratio and prompt neutron

A striking consistency emerges, revealing the unexpected dominant role of the proton subsystem with atomic number between the = 28 and 50 magic numbers. The origin of nuclear charge polarization in fission and fragment deformation at scission are discussed.

More precise -decay properties of even-even nuclei U were also measured in the reactions of Ar, Ca beams with W targets. By combining the experimental data, improved -decay reduced widths 
for the even-even Po-Pu nuclei in the vicinity of the magic neutron number 
= 126 are deduced. Their systematic trends are discussed in terms of the 
scheme in order to study the influence of proton-neutron interaction on decay in this region of nuclei. It is strikingly found that the reduced widths of 
U are significantly enhanced by a factor of two as compared with the systematics for the 84 
90 and 
126 even-even nuclei. The abnormal enhancement is interpreted by the strong monopole interaction between the valence protons and neutrons occupying the 
1

spin-orbit partner orbits, which is supported by the large-scale shell model calculation.
