Times Cited Count：32 Percentile：84.86(Physics, Nuclear)We have identified an isomer with a half-life of 17 
s in Rf through a calorimetric conversion electron measurement tagged with implanted Rf nuclei using the fragment mass analyzer at Argonne National Laboratory. The low population yield for this isomer suggests that this isomer should not be a 2-quasiparticle high- isomer which is typically observed in the N = 152 isotones, but should be a 4-quasiparticle one. Possible reasons of the non-observation of a 2-quasiparticle isomer are this isomer decays by fission with a half-life similar to that of the ground state of Rf. Another possibility, that there is no 2-quasiparticle isomer at all, would imply an abrupt termination of axially symmetric deformed shape at Z=104.

Times Cited Count：7 Percentile：47.82(Physics, Nuclear)Experimental data on single-particle energies in nuclei around Z=100 and N=152 play an important role to test validity of theoretical predictions for shell structure of superheavy nuclei. We found high-K two-quasiparticle isomers in 
No and 
No, and evaluated energies of proton single-particle orbitals around Z=100. We also found a new high-K three quasiparticle isomer in 
Rf. Energies of neutron single-particle orbitals were also evaluated from experimental data of the 
decay of Rf. Comparisons between the present experimental data and various theoretical calculations for the proton single-particle orbitals indicate that the calculation by using the Woods-Saxon potential gives the best agreement with the data.

-, and conversion electron spectroscopy experiments for Rf have been performed using Fragment Mass Analyzer at Argonne National Laboratory. 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

Mutation induction by ion beam provides an alternative for improvement of orchids. The protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) of three orchid species; 
, 
and 
were irradiated with 
C
ions, accelerated by AVF Cyclotron at Japanese Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), Japan, at various doses ranging from 0 to 12.0 Gray (Gy). Since no morphological change was detected, Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) technique was used to analyse the irradiated orchids. This PCR based DNA fingerprinting technique involves digestion of DNA with restriction enzymes, ligation of adapter and selective amplification using primer with one (pre-amplification) and three (selective amplification) arbitrary nucleotides. The fingerprinting of the control and mutant lines were compared in order to detect their genetic difference. Polymorphic fragments ranging from 250 to 1200 bp length were detected.
