被引用回数:4 パーセンタイル:43.57(Physics, Nuclear)Decay spectroscopy of the long-lived states in Tl has been performed at ISOLDE, CERN. The decay from the low-spin (2) state in Tl was observed for the first time and a half-life was determined. Based on the -decay energy, the relative positions of the long-lived states were fixed, with the (2) state as the ground state, the 7 state at 77(56) keV, and the 10 state at 451(56) keV. The level scheme of the internal decay of the Tl(10) state, which was known to decay solely through emission of 374-keV -ray transition, was extended and a lower limit for the -decay branching b 5.9(3)% was determined. The extracted retardation factors for the decay of the 10 state were compared to the available data in neighboring odd-odd thallium isotopes indicating the importance of the d shell in the isomeric decay and significant structure differences between Tl and Tl.

被引用回数:11 パーセンタイル:73.49(Physics, Nuclear)The neutron-deficient mercury isotopes serve as a classical example of shape coexistence, whereby at low energy near-degenerate nuclear states characterized by different shapes appear. The electromagnetic structure of even-mass Hg isotopes was studied using safe-energy Coulomb excitation of neutron-deficient mercury beams delivered by the REX-ISOLDE facility at CERN. The population of 0, 2, and 4 states was observed in all nuclei under study. Reduced matrix elements coupling populated yrast and non-yrast states were extracted, including their relative signs. These are a sensitive probe of shape coexistence and may be used to validate nuclear models. The experimental results are discussed in terms of mixing of two different configurations and are compared with three different model calculations: the Beyond Mean Field model, the Interacting Boson Model with configuration mixing and the General Bohr Hamiltonian. Partial agreement with experiment was observed, hinting to missing ingredients in the theoretical descriptions.

被引用回数:3 パーセンタイル:31.66(Physics, Nuclear)An experiment has been performed to study excited states in the neutron-deficient nucleus Ir via the use of the JUROGAM II high-purity germanium detector array and the RITU gas-filled separator at JYFL, Jyvskyl. By using isomer tagging, an isomeric state with a half-life of 6.58(15) s has been observed in Ir for the first time. It has been established that the isomer decays via a 45.2 () - 26.1 () keV cascade to new states below the previously reported ground state in Ir with . We now reassign this state to the isomeric state discovered in this study.

被引用回数:18 パーセンタイル:80.37(Physics, Nuclear)The decay of Mg was used to study the Al nucleus through spectroscopy at the Isotope Separator On-Line facility of CERN. Previous studies identified two -decaying states in Al having spin-parity assignments =4 dominated by the normal configuration (d5/2) (f7/2) and = 1 by the intruder configuration (d5/2) (d3/2)(f7/2). Their unknown ordering and relative energy have been the subject of debate for the placement of Al inside or outside the = 20 "island of inversion". We report here that the 1 intruder lies only 46.6 keV above the 4 ground state. In addition, a new half-life of =44.9(4)ms, that is twice as long as thepreviously measured 20(10) ms, has been determined for Mg. Large-scale shell-model calculations with the recently developed SDPF-U-MIX interaction are compared with the new data and used to interpret the mechanisms at play at the very border of the = 20 island of inversion.

被引用回数:18 パーセンタイル:80.37(Astronomy & Astrophysics)The new neutron-deficient nuclei Es and Bk were synthesised at the gas-filled recoil separator RITU. They were identified by their radioactive decay chains starting from Es produced in the fusion-evaporation reaction Bi(S,3n)Es. Half-lives of 6(2)s and 22s were obtained for Es and Bk, respectively. Two groups of particles with energies =8.19(3) MeV and 8.09(3) MeV were unambiguously assigned to Es. Electron-capture delayed fission branches with probabilities of 0.16(6) and 0.04(2) were measured for Es and Bk, respectively. These new data show a continuation of the exponential increase of ECDF probabilities in more neutron-deficient isotopes.

被引用回数:6 パーセンタイル:44.13(Physics, Nuclear)The levels in Sn populated from the decay of In isomers were investigated at the ISOLDE facility of CERN using the newly commissioned ISOLDE Decay Station. The lowest 1/2 state and the 3/2 ground state in Sn are expected to have configurations dominated by the neutron (=0) and (=2) single-particle states, respectively. Consequently, these states should be connected by a somewhat slow -forbidden transition. Using fast-timing spectroscopy we have measured the half-life of the 1/2 315.3-keV state, = 19(10) ps, which corresponds to a moderately fast transition. Shell-model calculations using the CD-Bonn effective interaction, with standard effective charges and factors, predict a 4-ns half-life for this level. We can reconcile the shell-model calculations to the measured value by the renormalization of the effective operator for neutron holes.

被引用回数:18 パーセンタイル:76.95(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:21 パーセンタイル:79.00(Physics, Nuclear)An exploratory experiment was performed at REX-ISOLDE CERN to test the potential of cluster-transfer reactions at the Coulomb barrier as a mechanism to explore the structure of exotic neutron-rich nuclei. The transfer of triton and alpha particles in a reaction of a beam of Rb onto a Li target were studied through particle- coincidence measurements. The results indicate that such cluster transfer reactions can be an efficient method to investigate the structure of neutron-rich nuclei at medium-high excitation energies and spins.

被引用回数:8 パーセンタイル:50.32(Physics, Nuclear)Radioactive ion beams of Rn were studied by means of low-energy Coulomb excitation at REX-ISOLDE, CERN. The electric-quadrupole (E2) matrix elements connecting the first excited 2 to the ground state of these nuclei was extracted, which permits to determine the collectivity of these isotopes, which in both cases is deduced to be weak, as expected from the low-lying level-energy scheme. Comparisons were also made with beyond-mean-field model calculations and the magnitude of the transitional quadrupole moments are well reproduced.

被引用回数:28 パーセンタイル:85.85(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:11 パーセンタイル:60.02(Physics, Nuclear)The factor of the first excited state in Zn was measured using the transient-field technique in combination with Coulomb excitation. The experiment was ran at REX-ISOLDE, CERN, and the -ray perturbed angular correlations were measured using 4 triple Germanium clusters of the Miniball array. The experimental result (2) = +0.47(14) is significant to establish the structure of the Zn isotopes near N=40. Comparison with shell-model calculations reveal that to reproduce the measured energies and B(E2) of the Zn isotopes around N=40, both the proton excitations from the orbit and neutron excitations into the and orbits are essential. Furthermore, beyond-mean-field calculations reveal the need to include the triaxial degree of freedom.

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.
