被引用回数:10 パーセンタイル:74.82(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:17 パーセンタイル:80.86(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 22
s 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.
