被引用回数:11 パーセンタイル:80.2(Physics, Nuclear)The aim of this work was to investigate the -decay properties of
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
Fr and its daughters were obtained. The observation of crossover transitions positioned the isomeric high-spin level of
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
At and 52(3) ms for the ground-state decay of
Fr.

被引用回数:12 パーセンタイル:77.08(Physics, Nuclear)Hyperfine-structure parameters and isotope shifts for the 795-nm atomic transitions in 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
At has been found to be larger than the average.

被引用回数:9 パーセンタイル:59.92(Physics, Nuclear)A nuclear-decay spectroscopy study of the neutron-deficient isotope 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
decay of
At allowed the low-energy excited states in the daughter nucleus
Bi to be investigated. A
-delayed fission study of
At was also performed. A mixture of symmetric and asymmetric fission-fragment mass distributions of the daughter isotope
Po (populated by
decay of
At) was deduced based on the measured fission-fragment energies. A
DF probability

At) = 9(1)

was determined.

被引用回数:22 パーセンタイル:76.64(Physics, Multidisciplinary)A Laser Ion Source and Trap (LIST) for a thick-target, isotope-separation on-line facility has been implemented at CERN ISOLDE for the production of pure, laser-ionized, radioactive ion beams. The first physics application of the LIST enables the suppression of francium contamination in ion beams of neutron-rich polonium isotopes at ISOLDE by more than 1000 with a reduction in laser-ionization efficiency of only 20. Resonance ionization spectroscopy is performed directly inside the LIST device, allowing the study of the hyperfine structure and isotope shift of Po for the first time. Nuclear decay spectroscopy of
Po is performed for the first time, revealing its half-life,
-to-
-decay branching ratio, and
-particle energy. This experiment demonstrates the applicability of the LIST at radioactive ion-beam facilities for the production and study of pure beams of exotic isotopes.

被引用回数:78 パーセンタイル:94.42(Multidisciplinary Sciences)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.
