A new isomer with a half-life of 160 s has been discovered in Rf, and it is interpreted as a three-quasiparticle high- isomer. Neutron configurations of one-quasiparticle states in No, the -decay daughter of Rf, have been assigned on the basis of -decay hindrance factors. Excitation energies of the 1/2[620] states in =151 isotones indicate that the deformed shell gap at =152 increases with the atomic number.

Times Cited Count:35 Percentile:86.65(Astronomy & Astrophysics)The first excited state of Ca was measured at GSI for the first time. The measured energy is found to be 3015(16) keV, which is lower than its mirror nucleus 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.

The quantitative analysis of Sr is cumbersome and time-consuming because it is a pure -ray emitter. The detection limit of Sr by conventional accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) methods is comparable to the typical detection limit of 3 mBq for -ray detection methods, mainly due to the interference of the isobaric Zr. The worldwide unique Ion Laser Interaction Mass Spectrometry (ILIAMS), performed at the University of Vienna, effectively removes Zr with a laser and reaction gases. Therefore, the detection limits of Sr is superior (0.1 mBq) to conventional AMS systems not equipped with such an ion-laser interaction isobaric removal system. In this study, Sr analysis in coral samples etc., an environmental sample under extreme conditions (e.g. low concentrations of Bq/g and limited sample volumes of grams), was tried. To lower the detection limit 0.1 mBq, Sr was purified (Sr carrier) from old age coral with almost no Sr contamination from atmospheric nuclear tests, chemical separation of environmental samples were conducted, and Sr was measured by AMS. The results showed that the detection limit of Sr achieved in the analysis was 0.03 mBq (Sr/Sr 510, 1/100 of the -ray detection methods). The detection limit achieved in this study corresponds to 2 ag of Sr in 1 mg of Sr target. The latest results of highly sensitive Sr analysis in small amounts of general environmental samples (coral, seawater, etc.) are mainly presented.
