Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0.00(Physics, Nuclear)The first prompt in-beam -ray spectroscopy of a superheavy element,
Rf, has been performed successfully. A development of an intense isotopically enriched
Ti beam using the MIVOC method enabled us to perform this experiment. A rotational band up to a spin of 20
has been discovered in
Rf, and its moment of inertia has been extracted. These data suggest that there is no evidence of a significant deformed shell gap at
= 104.

Times Cited Count:61 Percentile:88.65(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Rotational band structure of the =104 nucleus
Rf has been observed for the first time using an in-beam
-ray spectroscopic technique. This nucleus is the heaviest among the nuclei whose rotational band structure has ever been observed. Thus, the present result provides valuable information on the single-particle shell structure and pairing interaction in the heaviest extreme of nuclei. The deduced moment of inertia indicates that there is no deformed shell gap at
=104, which is predicted in a number of current self-consistent mean-field models.

Spent liquid medium from a number of SRS bacterial cultures enhanced iodide oxidation 2-10 fold in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H
O
). From a time-series measurements of peroxidase activities and organic acid concentrations, it was hypothesized that microbial organic acid exudate promoted iodide oxidation via following mechanisms; (1) organic acids interact with H
O
to form strong iodide oxidizing agents, peroxy carboxylic acids, and (2) organic acid secretion led to enhanced rates of H
O
-dependent iodide oxidation by lowering the pH of the culture medium.

Times Cited Count:68 Percentile:94.88(Physics, Nuclear)Heavy neutron-rich nuclei were populated via the fragmentation of a E/A=1 GeV Pb beam. Secondary fragments were separated and identified and subsequently implanted in a passive stopper. By the detection of delayed
rays, isomeric decays associated with these nuclei have been identified. A total of 49 isomers were detected, with the majority of them observed for the first time. Possible level schemes are constructed and the structure of the nuclei discussed. To aid the interpretation, shell-model as well as BCS calculations were performed.

Times Cited Count:34 Percentile:84.63(Physics, Nuclear)We have identified an isomer with a half-life of 17 s in
Rf through a calorimetric conversion electron measurement tagged with implanted
Rf nuclei using the fragment mass analyzer at Argonne National Laboratory. The low population yield for this isomer suggests that this isomer should not be a 2-quasiparticle high-
isomer which is typically observed in the N = 152 isotones, but should be a 4-quasiparticle one. Possible reasons of the non-observation of a 2-quasiparticle isomer are this isomer decays by fission with a half-life similar to that of the ground state of
Rf. Another possibility, that there is no 2-quasiparticle isomer at all, would imply an abrupt termination of axially symmetric deformed shape at Z=104.

Times Cited Count:8 Percentile:46.89(Physics, Nuclear)Experimental data on single-particle energies in nuclei around Z=100 and N=152 play an important role to test validity of theoretical predictions for shell structure of superheavy nuclei. We found high-K two-quasiparticle isomers in No and
No, and evaluated energies of proton single-particle orbitals around Z=100. We also found a new high-K three quasiparticle isomer in
Rf. Energies of neutron single-particle orbitals were also evaluated from experimental data of the
decay of
Rf. Comparisons between the present experimental data and various theoretical calculations for the proton single-particle orbitals indicate that the calculation by using the Woods-Saxon potential gives the best agreement with the data.

Times Cited Count:11 Percentile:55.21(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Relativistic energy projectile fragmentation of Pb has been used to produce a range of exotic nuclei. The nuclei of interest were studied by detecting delayed
rays following the decay of isomeric states. Experimental information on the excited states of the neutron-rich
Pt N=126 nucleus, following internal decay of two isomeric states, was obtained for the first time. In addition, decays from the previously reported isomeric
and
states in
Tb and
Gd, respectively, have been observed. These isomeric decays represent the highest discrete states observed to date following a prejectile fragmentation reaction, and opens up the possibilty of doing "high-spin physics" using this technique.

Times Cited Count:94 Percentile:98.28(Instruments & Instrumentation)The first results from the stopped beam RISING experimental campaign performed at the GSI laboratory in Darmstadt, Germany, are presented. RISING constitutes a major new experimental program in European nuclear structure physics research aimed at using relativistic energy (typically around 1 GeV per nucleon) projectile fragmentation reactions to populate nuclei with highly exotic proton-to-neutron ratios compared to the line of beta stability. In its high-efficiency stopped beam configuration, the RISING -ray spectrometer consists of 105 individual germanium crystals which view a focal plane in which the exotic nuclei are brought to rest. Here, decays from metastable states with half-lives in the nano to milliseconds range can be observed. Results of initial commissioning experiments are also shown and details of the planned future experimental program are given.
