被引用回数:2 パーセンタイル:42.93(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:6 パーセンタイル:55.12(Physics, Multidisciplinary)The decay of
Hg into the one-proton hole, one neutron-particle
Tl
nucleus was investigated at CERN-ISOLDE. Shell-model calculations describe well the level scheme deduced, validating the proton-neutron interactions used, with implications for the whole of the
,
quadrant of neutron-rich nuclei. While both negative and positive parity states with spin 0 and 1 are expected within the
window, only three negative parity states are populated directly in the
decay. The data provide a unique test of the competition between allowed Gamow-Teller and Fermi, and first-forbidden
decays, essential for the understanding of the nucleosynthesis of heavy nuclei in the rapid neutron capture process. Furthermore, the observation of the parity changing
decay where the daughter state is core excited is unique, and can provide information on mesonic corrections of effective operators.

-decay tagging in
Au and isomer tagging in
Au, were used for these studies. Feeding of positive-parity, nearly spherical states, which are associated with 2

proton-hole configurations, from the 1
proton-intruder configuration was observed in
Au. Such a decay path has no precedent in odd-Au isotopes and it is explained by the effect of mixing of wave functions of the initial state.

decay of heavy neutron-rich nuclei, affecting the nucleosynthesis through the increased half-lives of nuclei on the astrophysical
-process pathway below both

decay of the ground state of

Tl in an experiment at the ISOLDE Decay Station. From statistical observational limits on possible

The setup consisted of a collimation system producing a pencil beam with a thermal capture equivalent flux of about 10

at the target position and negligible neutron halo. The target was surrounded by an array of eight to ten anti-Compton shielded EXOGAM Clover detectors, four to six anti-Compton shielded large coaxial GASP detectors and two standard Clover detectors. For a part of the campaign the array was combined with 16 LaBr

Kr isotopes was carried out at the RIBF at RIKEN Nishina center. Excited states in these isotopes were populated via (p,2p) reactions using radioactive
Rb beams accelerated to 220 MeV/nucleon. The new data show a significant increase in deformation beyond N=60, as well as competing configurations (shape-coexistence) at low energy. The data were compared with beyond-mean-field calculations which predict level energies in good agreement with observation, and suggest oblate-prolate shape coexistence.

被引用回数:36 パーセンタイル:87.88(Physics, Multidisciplinary)The first measurement of rays emitted by the very neutron rich nuclei
Mo (Z=42) and
Zr (Z=40) was carried out at the RIBF facility at RIKEN. These data shine light on the postulated N=70 harmonic oscillator shell. If the spin-orbit splitting which gives rise to the N=82 shell gap is reduced in very neutron-rich nuclei, the harmonic oscillator gap at N=70 should open instead. However, both the measured energy of the first excited state
Mo and
Zr, respectively 235(7) keV and 185(11) keV, and their E(4
)/E(2
) ratio, indicate that these nuclei are good rotors, and exclude the shell stabilization scenario at Z=40 and N=70. These results were compared to state-of-the-art density functional theoretical calculations using Gogny and Skyrme effective interactions.

被引用回数:73 パーセンタイル:88.24(Radiology, Nuclear Medicine & Medical Imaging)Suitable instrumentation for laser-accelerated proton (ion) beams is critical to the development of integrated, laser-driven ion accelerator systems. Instrumentation aimed at beam diagnostics and control must be applied to the driving laser pulse, the laser-plasma that it forms at the target and the emergent proton (ion) bunch in a correlated way to develop these novel accelerators. This report is a brief overview of established diagnostic techniques and new developments based on material presented at the first workshop on "Instrumentation for Diagnostics and Control of Laser-accelerated Proton (ion) Beams" in Abingdon, UK. It includes radiochromic film (RCF), image plate (IP), the micro-channel plate (MCP), the Thomson spectrometer, prompt inline scintillation, time and space-resolved interferometry (TASRI) and nuclear activation schemes. Repetition-rated instrumentation requirements for target metrology are also addressed.
