Times Cited Count:68 Percentile:94.88(Physics, Nuclear)Heavy neutron-rich nuclei were populated via the fragmentation of a E/A=1 GeV Pb beam. Secondary fragments were separated and identified and subsequently implanted in a passive stopper. By the detection of delayed
rays, isomeric decays associated with these nuclei have been identified. A total of 49 isomers were detected, with the majority of them observed for the first time. Possible level schemes are constructed and the structure of the nuclei discussed. To aid the interpretation, shell-model as well as BCS calculations were performed.

Times Cited Count:19 Percentile:46.88(Geochemistry & Geophysics)The use of cement and concrete as fracture grouting or as tunnel seals in a geological disposal facility for rad wastes creates potential issues concerning chemical reactivity. From a long term safety perspective, it is desirable to be able model these interactions and changes quantitatively. As part of the LCS (Long-term Cement Studies) project programme, a modelling inter-comparison has been conducted, involving the modelling of two experiments describing cement hadration and cement-rock reaction, with teams representing the NDA (UK), Posiva (Finland), and JAEA. This modelling exercise showed that the dominant reaction pathways in the two experiments are fairly well understood and are consistent between the different modelling teams, although significant differences existed amongst the precise parameterisation. Future modelling exercises of this type should focus on a suitable natural or industrial analogue that might aid assessing mineral-fluid reactions at these longer timescales.

rays following the decay of isomeric states. Experimental information on the excited states of the neutron-rich
Pt N=126 nucleus, following internal decay of two isomeric states, was obtained for the first time. In addition, decays from the previously reported isomeric

states in
Tb and
Gd, respectively, have been observed. These isomeric decays represent the highest discrete states observed to date following a prejectile fragmentation reaction, and opens up the possibilty of doing "high-spin physics" using this technique.

RISING constitutes a major new experimental program in European nuclear structure physics research aimed at using relativistic energy (typically around 1 GeV per nucleon) projectile fragmentation reactions to populate nuclei with highly exotic proton-to-neutron ratios compared to the line of beta stability. In its high-efficiency stopped beam configuration, the RISING -ray spectrometer consists of 105 individual germanium crystals which view a focal plane in which the exotic nuclei are brought to rest. Here, decays from metastable states with half-lives in the nano to milliseconds range can be observed. Results of initial commissioning experiments are also shown and details of the planned future experimental program are given.

S by as large as 276 keV. The structure of those nuclei is studied by the shell model. It is found that those nuclei can be well described by the
valence space. The large energy shift between them is caused by the Thomas-Ehrman effect. We presented that the energy shift in the
shell region can be explained by the shell model with a phenomenological treatment of the Thomas-Ehrman effect.

In order to meet the needs for first wall and plasma measurements, ITER will require about 40 different diagnostic systems drawn from all the main generic diagnostic groups - magnetics, neutron systems, optical and microwave systems, spectroscopic, bolometric, probes, pressure gauges and gas analysers. The design and implementation is a major challenge because of the harsh environment in which many of the diagnostic components are located coupled with the restricted access and the need to meet stringent engineering requirements arising from the fact that ITER will be a nuclear device. It has stimulated an extensive design and R&D programme and the development of some novel approaches to diagnostic installation: for example, the use of plugs with custom modules at the upper and equatorial levels that serve both to support the diagnostic components and to provide the necessary shielding of the neutrons. The difficulties of implementation are summarized and the novel solutions described.

Research and development of imaging bolometers has progressed from the Segmented Mask IR Imaging Bolometer to the IR Imaging Video Bolometer (IRVB). Meanwhile tests of conventional resistive bolometers have shown their weakness to the high neutron flux. In this paper we compare the IRVBs currently installed in the Large Helical Device with a conceptual design for the JT-60U tokamak and a feasibility study for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor. Comparisons are made with conventional resistive bolometers in terms of sensitivity, spatial and time resolution, port access requirements, steady-state operation, long term durability and shielding of stray ECH power.
