Times Cited Count:33 Percentile:3.48(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Masses of Es,
Fm and the transfermium nuclei
Md, and
No, produced by hot- and cold-fusion reactions, in the vicinity of the deformed
neutron shell closure, have been directly measured using a multi-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrograph. The masses of
Es and
Md were measured for the first time. Using the masses of
Md as anchor points for
decay chains, the masses of heavier nuclei, up to
Bh and
Mt, were determined. These new masses were compared with theoretical global mass models and demonstrated to be in good agreement with macroscopic-microscopic models in this region. The empirical shell gap parameter
derived from three isotopic masses was updated with the new masses and corroborate the existence of the deformed
neutron shell closure for Md and Lr.

A new isomer Np with a half-life of
9 min has been discovered. It was produced in the reaction of
U target with
Li beam at JAEA tandem accelerator, and was identified through characteristic X-ray measurement and mass separation with an on-line isotope separator (ISOL). Gamma-ray singles, gamma-gamma coincidence, and internal-conversion electron measurements were performed. It was revealed that the
Np decays mostly through an isomeric E4 transition followed by an M1 transition, and that the spin-parity of the
Np should be 5
. The results are introduced in detail, and the nuclear structure of the
Np are discussed.

We have carried out experiments to study nuclear structure of the new isomer Np which we discovered recently. The
Np was produced in the reaction of
U target with
Li beam at JAEA tandem accelerator, and was mass-separated with an on-line isotope separator (ISOL). The half-life was determined accurately through LX-ray measurements. The
transition emitted by following the isomeric transition was successfully observed through LX-
coincidence measurements. Moreover, the multipolarities of the
transitions were determined with internal-conversion electron measurements. On the basis of these experimental results, We have clarified excitation energy, spin-parity, and nuclear structure of
Np.
