被引用回数:3 パーセンタイル:39.49(Physics, Nuclear)Mgは中性子魔法数20が消滅する中性子過剰核のモデルケースとして有名な原子核であるが、約1MeVという低い励起エネルギーにある励起状態の性質が未だに謎に包まれているなど、その構造は未解明な点が多い。この原子核の励起構造を解明するため、米国国立超伝導サイクロトロン研究所にてMgからの1中性子ノックアウト、Siからの2陽子ノックアウト反応でMgの励起状態を生成し、そこからの脱励起ガンマ線の測定によってその準位構造を得た。得られた約20本のエネルギー準位を殻模型計算による理論と比較した。低い励起状態の存在を再現する計算によって予言されていた強い生成強度をもった状態は存在せず、その状態がない古い理論の方が全体的な傾向をよく再現した。その結果、励起状態の謎は依然、解明されずに残ることとなった。

被引用回数:6 パーセンタイル:40.64(Physics, Nuclear)Mgは中性子数20の魔法数が消滅する原子核としてよく知られているMgの2中性子少ない系であり、魔法数消滅のメカニズムを解明する重要な情報を与える原子核である。この研究では、ミシガン州立大学のサイクロトロンを用いてMgからの中性子ノックアウト反応によってMgを生成し、そのガンマ線分光から構造を探求した。変形の小さなバンドと変形の大きなバンドの他に負パリティ状態と見られるエネルギー準位が得られ、それらの分光学的因子が導かれた。その結果を大規模殻模型計算と比較したところ、エネルギー準位はよく再現するものの、分光学的因子の一部に不一致があり、より正確な記述という観点からは理論に課題があることがわかった。

被引用回数:10 パーセンタイル:68.16(Physics, Nuclear)The Ni isotope is known for exhibiting signs of shape coexistence at very low excitation energies. In this work, carried out at REX-Isolde, CERN, the Ni(,) reaction in inverse kinematics was studied for the first time and used to assess directly the active neutrons orbitals responsible its shape coexistence. The main states populated were the ground state, the second state at 1604~keV, and the first excited 2 state at 2033 keV. The analysis of the differential transfer cross-sections and comparison with theoretical DWBA calculations permitted to quantify the contribution of neutron orbits below the =40 gap in the structure of these states. This information is essential to better understand the phenomenon of shape coexistence in the region of medium-heavy nuclei.

被引用回数:20 パーセンタイル:78.71(Physics, Nuclear)The Ar()Ar two-neutron transfer reaction at 2.16 MeV/u was studied at CERN using a Ar radioactive beam and a tritium loaded radioactive target. Angular distributions for three final states were measured and based on the shape of the differential cross section an excited state at 3695 keV was identified as the first excited 0 state. The differential cross-sections for the 0-ground state, and first excited 2 and 0 states are compared to DWBA calculations including two-step reactions through the intermediate nucleus Ar. By comparison large scale shell model calculations using state-of-the-art effective interactions, with and without the tensor components of the interactions, it was observed that the cross-shell proton-neutron tensor interaction has measurable effects on the observables at low excitation energy in Ar.

被引用回数:9 パーセンタイル:53.71(Physics, Nuclear)Excited states up to an excitation energy of 5.8 MeV were populated in the neutron-rich isotope Ni via the Ni(d,p) transfer reaction at REX-Isolde, CERN. In particular, single-neutron states above the N=40 sub-shell gap were populated, and the relative spectroscopic factors were extracted using distorted-wave Born approximation analysis. The positive parity g, d and s neutron orbits above the shell closure are assumed to induce strong quadrupole collectivity in neutron-rich Fe and Cr isotopes. The extracted relative spectroscopic factors show that the strength of the d orbit is mostly split over two states, hinting to substantial mixing of the neutron d configuration with collective modes of the core. The size of the N=50 shell gap was also estimated, and found to be 2.6 MeV near Ni, as also determined in lighter Ni isotopes.

被引用回数:28 パーセンタイル:84.92(Astronomy & Astrophysics)Single-neutron states in Zn have been populated using the reaction Zn(d,p) at REX-Isolde, CERN. The analysis reveals that the lowest excited states in Zn lie at approximately 1 MeV, and involve neutron orbits above the N=50 shell gap. A 5/2 configuration was assigned to the 983-keV state. Comparison with large-scale shell model calculations supports a robust neutron N=50 shell closure for Ni. These data constitute an important step towards the understanding the magicity of Ni and the structure of nuclei in the region.

被引用回数:18 パーセンタイル:73.72(Astronomy & Astrophysics)The neutron orbits , d and s are assumed to be responsible for the swift onset of collectivity observed in the region below Ni. In order to gather information on the single-particle energies and spectroscopic factors of these orbitals, single-particle states in the nucleus Ni were populated using the reaction Ni(d,p), in inverse kinematics, at REX-ISOLDE, CERN. The new isotope was studied using combined particle- spectroscopy. Comparison with DWBA calculations, permitted the identification of positive parity states with a substantial amount of d (1007 keV) and d (2207 and 3277 keV) single-particle strength. Comparisons with extended Shell-Model calculations was also performed to confirm the single-particle nature of these states, and to deduce general properties around Ni.

Single-neutron states in the = 49 isotope Zn were populated in the Zn(d,p)Zn transfer reaction at REX-ISOLDE, CERN. The combined detection of protons ejected in the reaction and of rays emitted by Zn permitted the identification of the lowest-lying 5/2 and 1/2 excited states. The analysis of proton angular distributions links these states to a significant amount of single-particle strength around 1 MeV, and specifically to the d and s neutron orbits, which lie above the = 50 neutron shell gap. Comparison with large-scale-shell-model calculations supports a robust = 50 shell-closure for Ni. These data constitute a considerable step towards the understanding of the magicity of Ni and of the structure of isotopes in the region.
