Times Cited Count:37 Percentile:85.46(Physics, Multidisciplinary)In usual even-even nuclei, , , states are known to be connected via strong transitions. The recently observed state in the neutron-rich nucleus S has a strongly hindered transition to the state. We report the origin of this strong hindrance in this paper. While shell-model calculations reproduce the hindrance, their many-body wave functions are too complicated for one to understand the nature. In this study, we introduce a novel method to obtain wave functions in the intrinsic frame by performing the variation after angular-momentum projection. The , states are dominated by the usual state, whereas for the level the state is lower than state, which causes the hindrance. We also account for similar hindrance in S in this framework. The level is the lightest-mass high- isomer ever found.

Times Cited Count:6 Percentile:45.53(Physics, Nuclear)Excited states in neutron-rich W have been populated via deep inelastic collisions of a 630-MeV Se beam on a W target. Projectile-like fragments were measured by an annular Si detector for reaction channel selection. Delayed rays from target residues were detected by means of the so-called recoil shadow technique. A new isomer at 411 keV, based on the [615] Nilsson configuration, has been identified with the half-life of 1.56(28) s. The decay rates of the isomers are discussed in terms of the quantum number by comparison with the systematics from the neighboring nuclei.

Times Cited Count:13 Percentile:71.74(Physics, Nuclear)Excited states in Ba, populated in deep-inelastic collisions by the interaction of 450-MeV Se ions with a La target, have been studied by means of in-beam -ray spectroscopy. A new isomer with has been identified at an excitation energy of MeV. The half-life was determined as ns. The extracted value is much smaller than those in Te and Xe. This hindrance is investigated by a shell model calculation.

Times Cited Count:15 Percentile:65.31(Physics, Nuclear)High-spin states in Os have been studied using the Yb(C,4n) reaction at a beam energy of 65MeV. Previously known 1-quasiparticle bands have been extended to higher spins. New high- bands based on 3- and 5-quasiparticle excitation have been identified. Nilsson configurations are assigned based on the g-factors deduced from M1/E2 branching ratios within the bands. In addition, a new isomer at 5008keV has been found with a half-life of 18(2) ns. The hindrance in decays of the high- intrinsic states are discussed in terms of the tunneling model where the low- and high- states interact through the triaxial shape fluctuation.

Times Cited Count:4 Percentile:29.25(Nuclear Science & Technology)We have systematically investigated the highly -forbidden transitions observed in the Hf, W and Os region, using the -tunneling model in which low- and high- states interact through a process of the quantum tunneling. In the present study, we have analyzed -forbidden transitions recently observed. The measured hindrance factors are compared with the values calculated using the -tunneling model. We have also investigated isotope dependences of tunneling probabilities particularly for neutron-rich nuclei.

Times Cited Count:15 Percentile:62.9(Physics, Nuclear)High-spin states in Os have been studied using the Er(O,4n) reaction at a beam energy of 85 MeV. Several new negative parity levels including a 48-ns isomer have been identified. Nilsson configurations for the levels are assigned by comparison with multi-quasiparticle calculations. Potential-energy-surface calculations show an increasing influence of triaxiality in nuclear shapes at higher spins. The decay rate of the isomer is discussed in relation to the role of the quantum number.

Times Cited Count:20 Percentile:73.84(Physics, Nuclear)High-spin states in Os have been studied using the 170Er(18O,5n) reaction at a beam energy of 85 MeV. Nine rotational bands based on 1-, 3-, 5- and 7-quasiparticle excitations have been observed. Nilsson configurations are assigned for the newly observed bands using g-factors deduced from M1/E2 branching ratios within the bands. In addition, two isomers with K=(43/2+) and (43/2-) have been identified. The K=(43/2+) isomer decays directly to the K=9/2+ ground state band with a large difference in the quantum number, 17. The decay rates are disccused in terms of a tunneling model where high- (isomeric) and low- states interact via fluctuations towards triaxial nuclear shapes.

Existence of the previously unknown isomer Np was discovered for the first time. Np was produced by using the JAEA tandem accelerator. Short-lived reaction products were mass-separated by the on-line isotope separator ISOL, and and X rays originating from the decay of Np were observed. The half-life of Np was determined to be approximately 9 min, and Np was found to decay via the EC decay as well as the isomeric transition. On the basis of the observed and X rays and the half-life value, we have evaluated level energy, spin-parity, and proton-neutron configuration of Np.

We have successfully performed in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy using the isomer-scope technique to study excited-state structure of neutron-rich heavy-actinide nuclei. The neutron-rich heavy-actinide nuclei were produced in the multinucleon-transfer reactions with a Cm target and O projectiles accelerated with the JAEA tandem accelerator. Projectile-like scattered particles were detected with Si E-E telescopes placed at the backward angle, and target-like scattered particles of isomers were caught by an annular aluminum plate placed at about 60-mm downstream from the target. Four Ge detectors and 4 LaBr detectors were placed at the periphery of the aluminum plate, and detected gamma rays from the isomers. Gamma rays emitted from the actinide isomers were successfully observed with a good sensitivity owing to the tungsten shield placed between the target and the detectors.
