We searched for the 6$$alpha$$-condensed state in $$^{24}$$Mg by measuring the $$^{12}$$C+$$^{12}$$C scattering with the SAKRA Si detector array. By using the invariant-mass method for the detected 3$$alpha$$ particles, the inclusive cross sections for the $$^{12}$$C+$$^{12}$$C $$rightarrow$$ $$^{12}$$C(0$$^{+}_{2}$$) + X and $$^{12}$$C(3$$^{-}_{1}$$) + X reactions were determined. In both the inclusive $$^{12}$$C(0$$^{+}_{2}$$) + X channel and the exclusive $$^{12}$$C(0$$^{+}_{2}$$) + $$^{12}$$C(0$$^{+}_{1}$$) channel, the cross section peaked at E$$_{cm}$$ = 19.4 MeV, which correspond to the excitation energy of E$$_{x}$$ = 33.3 MeV in $$^{24}$$Mg. This 19.4-MeV state is a candidate for the 6$$alpha$$-condensed state

The nuclear structure of $$^{248}$$Cf produced by the $$^{18}$$O+$$^{249}$$Cf multinucleon transfer reaction was investigated using $$gamma$$-ray spectroscopy. Analysis of the $$gamma$$-ray spectrum of $$^{248}$$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".

ボロミアン核であり中性子ハロー構造が期待される$$^{17}$$Bに対する($$p$$,$$pn$$)反応実験を行った。断面積の運動量分布を分析することで、$$1s_{1/2}$$$$0d_{5/2}$$軌道の分光学的因子を決定した。驚くべきことに、$$1s_{1/2}$$の分光学的因子は9(2)%と小さいことが明らかになった。この結果は、連続状態を含むdeformed relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov理論によってよく説明された。本研究の結果によると、現在知られているハロー構造を持つとされる原子核の中で$$^{17}$$Bは$$s$$および$$p$$軌道の成分が最も小さく、$$s$$または$$p$$軌道成分が支配的であることが必ずしもハロー構造の前提条件ではない可能性を示唆している。

The $$^{9}$$Be($$^{3}$$He,$$alpha$$)$$^{8}$$Be($$p$$)$$^{7}$$Li reaction was studied at $$E_{rm lab}$$($$^{3}$$He)=30 MeV to deduce the branching ratios of $$Gamma_{p1}/Gamma_{p0}$$ of resonant state at 18.91 - 20.1 MeV in $$^{8}$$Be, which are necessary to extract the $$^{7}$$Be($$n$$, $$p_{1}$$)$$^{7}$$Li$$^{*}$$ reaction rate relevant to the $$^{7}$$Be destruction in the big bang nucleosynthesis, from the $$^{7}$$Li($$p$$,$$n_{0}$$)$$^{7}$$Be reaction cross section. The decay protons from $$^{8}$$Be$$^{*}$$ to the ground and first excited states in $$^{7}$$Li were well-separately measured. The $$Gamma_{p1}/Gamma_{p0}$$ ratio of the 19.235-MeV state was deduced to be 3.4$$pm$$1.9%. The 19.86- and 20.1-MeV states were found to decay dominantly into the first excited and ground states of $$^{7}$$Li, respectively.

The excitation functions for quasielastic scattering of $$^{22}$$Ne+$$^{248}$$Cm, $$^{26}$$Mg+$$^{248}$$Cm, $$^{48}$$Ca+$$^{238}$$U are measured using a gas-filled recoil ion separator The quasielastic barrier distributions are extracted for these systems and are compared with coupled-channel calculations. The results indicate that the barrier distribution is affected dominantly by deformation of the actinide target nuclei, but also by vibrational or rotational excitations of the projectile nuclei, as well as neutron transfer processes before capture. From a comparison between the experimental barrier distributions and the evaporation residue cross sections for Sg (Z=106), Hs (108), Cn (112), and Lv (116), it is suggested that the hot fusion reactions take advantage of a compact collision, where the projectile approaches along the short axis of a prolately deformed nucleus. A new method is proposed to estimate the optimum incident energy to synthesize unknown superheavy nuclei using the barrier distribution.

The aim of this work was to investigate the $$alpha$$-decay properties of $$^{200,202}$$Fr and daughter products. Neutron-deficient francium nuclei are produced at ISOLDE-CERN bombarding a UCx target with 1.4 GeV protons. Due to the very high statistics and the high beam purity, improved decay data for $$^{202}$$Fr and its daughters were obtained. The observation of crossover transitions positioned the isomeric high-spin level of $$^{198}$$At at an excitation energy of 265(3) keV. Half-life values of 4.47(5) s and 1.28(10) s were extracted for the ground state and isomeric state of $$^{198}$$At and 52(3) ms for the ground-state decay of $$^{200}$$Fr.

The prompt fission $$gamma$$-ray energy spectrum for cold-neutron induced fission of $$^{235}$$U was measured in the energy range $$E_{rm gamma}$$ = 0.8 - 20,MeV, by gaining a factor of about 10$$^{5}$$ in statistics compared to the measurements performed so far. The spectrum exhibits local bump structures at $$E_{rm gamma}approx$$4,MeV and $$approx$$6,MeV, and also a broad one at $$approx$$15,MeV. In order to understand the origins of these bumps, the $$gamma$$-ray spectra were calculated using a statistical Hauser-Feshbach model, taking into account the de-excitation of all the possible primary fission fragments. It is shown that the bump at $$approx$$4,MeV is created by the transitions between the discrete levels in the fragments around $$^{132}$$Sn, and the bump at $$approx$$6,MeV mostly comes from the complementary light fragments. It is also indicated that a limited number of nuclides, which have high-spin states at low excitation energies, can contribute to the bump structure around $$E_{rm gamma}approx$$15,MeV, induced by the transition feeding into the low-lying high-spin states.

Hyperfine-structure parameters and isotope shifts for the 795-nm atomic transitions in $$^{217,218,219}$$At have been measured at CERN-ISOLDE, using the in-source resonance-ionization spectroscopy technique. Magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments, and changes in the nuclear mean-square charge radii, have been deduced. A large inverse odd-even staggering in radii, which may be associated with the presence of octupole collectivity, has been observed. Namely, the radius of the odd-odd isotope $$^{218}$$At has been found to be larger than the average.

Low-lying neutron-hole states in $$^{131}$$Sn were populated via the $$^{132}$$Sn(d,t) reaction at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The triton angular distributions were compared to DWBA calculations and revealed spectroscopic factors compatible with a single-hole nature of the states populated. The data permit to determine the spin-orbit splitting of the strongly bound $$d_{3/2}$$ and $$d_{5/2}$$ neutron orbits below the shell gap, which was compared to the splitting of the weakly bound 3$$p$$ and 2$$f$$ orbits above the gap. The comparison revealed a smaller energy splitting of the 3$$p$$ orbits. All splittings were reproduced using Woods-Saxon calculations, and the lower splitting of the 3$$p$$ orbits was explained to arise from the large radial extent of the wavefunction and small value of the amplitude at the surface. This result is important to understand at a fundamental level the spin-orbit interaction, and its effects on neutron-rich nuclei.

A detailed $$alpha$$-decay spectroscopy study of $$^{180}$$Tl has been performed at ISOLDE (CERN). Z-selective ionization by the Resonance Ionization Laser Ion Source (RILIS) coupled to mass separation provided a high-purity beam of $$^{180}$$Tl. Fine-structure $$alpha$$ decays to excited levels in the daughter $$^{176}$$Au were identified and an $$alpha$$-decay scheme of $$^{180}$$Tl was constructed based on an analysis of $$alpha$$-$$gamma$$ and $$alpha$$-$$gamma$$ -$$gamma$$ coincidences. Multipolarities of several $$gamma$$-ray transitions deexciting levels in $$^{176}$$Au were determined. Based on the analysis of reduced $$alpha$$-decay widths, it was found that all $$alpha$$ decays are hindered, which signifies a change of configuration between the parent and all daughter states.

核分裂に伴い放出される即発$$gamma$$線スペクトルの測定は高励起状態にある中性子過剰な核分裂片の脱励起過程を理解する上で重要であると同時に、革新的原子炉の設計といった応用分野においても重要である。これまで$$^{252}$$Cfの自発核分裂においては、核分裂片の巨大共鳴振動が励起されていることを示唆する、8MeVから20MeVにおいて膨らみを持つ高エネルギー$$gamma$$線が観測されていることが知られている。巨大共鳴振動励起の起源を理解するためには$$^{252}$$Cfの自発核分裂以外で即発$$gamma$$線スペクトルを測定する必要があるが、中性子誘起核分裂においては最近の測定においても9MeV程度までしか観測されていない。我々は$$^{235}$$U(n,f)においても20MeVまでの即発$$gamma$$線スペクトルの観測を目的とした測定を仏国ラウエ・ランジュバン研究所にある高中性子束炉の大強度冷中性子ビームを用いて行った。発表では測定で得られた結果について報告する。

The new neutron-deficient nuclei $$^{240}$$Es and $$^{236}$$Bk were synthesised at the gas-filled recoil separator RITU. They were identified by their radioactive decay chains starting from $$^{240}$$Es produced in the fusion-evaporation reaction $$^{209}$$Bi($$^{34}$$S,3n)$$^{240}$$Es. Half-lives of 6(2)s and 22$$^{+13}_{-6}$$s were obtained for $$^{240}$$Es and $$^{236}$$Bk, respectively. Two groups of $$alpha$$ particles with energies $$E_{alpha}$$=8.19(3) MeV and 8.09(3) MeV were unambiguously assigned to $$^{240}$$Es. Electron-capture delayed fission branches with probabilities of 0.16(6) and 0.04(2) were measured for $$^{240}$$Es and $$^{236}$$Bk, respectively. These new data show a continuation of the exponential increase of ECDF probabilities in more neutron-deficient isotopes.

A nuclear-decay spectroscopy study of the neutron-deficient isotope $$^{196}$$At is reported where an isotopically pure beam was produced using the selective Resonance Ionization Laser Ion Source and On-Line Isotope Mass Separator (CERN). The fine-structure $$alpha$$ decay of $$^{196}$$At allowed the low-energy excited states in the daughter nucleus $$^{192}$$Bi to be investigated. A $$beta$$-delayed fission study of $$^{196}$$At was also performed. A mixture of symmetric and asymmetric fission-fragment mass distributions of the daughter isotope $$^{196}$$Po (populated by $$beta$$ decay of $$^{196}$$At) was deduced based on the measured fission-fragment energies. A $$beta$$DF probability $$P_{rm beta DF}$$($$^{196}$$At) = 9(1)$$times$$10$$^{-5}$$ was determined.

The detailed analysis of the $$beta$$-delayed fission data of $$^{180}$$Tl is presented. The experiment was performed by producing a pure beam of $$^{180}$$Tl by means of highly selective resonance laser ionization followed by mass separation with the ISOLDE isotope separator. A surprising asymmetric mass distribution of fission fragments from $$^{180}$$Hg, the daughter of $$^{180}$$Tl $$beta$$ decays, was obtained. Here, the energy calibration of the silicon detectors, which is crucial for a proper determination of the fission fragments' energy and mass split, is presented and the total kinetic energy and its dependence on the mass split ratio is discussed. A more precise $$beta$$-delayed fission probability of 3.2(2)$$times$$10$$^{-3}$$$$%$$ was deduced.

The radioactive element astatine exists only in trace amounts in nature. Its properties can therefore only be explored by study of smallest quantities of artificially produced isotopes or by performing theoretical calculations. One of the most important properties influencing the chemical behaviour is the energy required to remove one electron from the valence shell, referred to as the ionization potential (IP). Here we use laser spectroscopy to probe the optical spectrum of astatine near the ionization threshold. The observed series of Rydberg states allowed the deduction of the IP of the astatine atom for the first time. New ab initio calculations were performed to support the experimental result. The measured value of IP(At) serves as a benchmark for quantum chemistry calculations of the properties of astatine as well as for the theoretical prediction of the ionization potential of super-heavy element 117, the heaviest homologue of astatine.
