(e,e'f) Coincidence experiments on 235U and 238U
Abstract Coincidence experiments for (e, e'f) on the actinide nuclei 235 U and 238 U have been performed at the Mainz Microtron (MAMI A) concentrating on three subjects: multipole strength distributions and form factors for the lowest multipolarities, the mass split in the fission decay of various giant multipole resonances, and the separation of near barrier fission channels. Data were taken at four values of momentum transfer ( q eff ≈ 0.20, 0.28, 0.53, and 0.71 fm −1 for 238 U, q eff ≈ 0.20, 0.44, 0.57, and 0.71 fm −1 for 235 U) for excitation energies ω = 4–22 MeV. The fission fragments have been detected using the Giessen PPAC-Ball. A model-independent multipole analysis yields both fo…
(e,e′f)-Coincidence Experiments on Uranium Isotopes
(e,e′f)-coincidence experiments represent the most powerful tool to investigate the decay properties of giant multipole resonances, especially of the isoscalar giant quadrupole resonance (GQR), in heavy nuclei. Besides the advantages of the inelastic electron scattering, the coincidence between the fission fragments and the scattered electron causes a complete suppression of the huge radiation tail. The study of the fission decay of giant resonances in heavy nuclei provides interesting information about the coupling of the collective phenomena of fission and giant resonances. In particular the fission decay of the GQR has been subject of controversial experimental studies, using hadrons [1]…
Coincidence Electron Scattering (e, e′c) in the Giant Resonance Region of 28Si
In the nuclear continuum region, the inherent power of inelastic electron scattering to map out the Fourier transforms of the transition charge and current densities is completely exploited only if the inelastically scattered electron is detected in coincidence with a nuclear decay product c. The coincidence requirement effectively eliminates the strong elastic radiative tail which hitherto plagued the analysis of single arm (e,e′) experiments.
