High-spin levels in 63 145 Eu82
1996
The level scheme of theN=82 nucleus145Eu has been extended toI=(55/2) andEx=11.2 MeV in an experiment with the Tessa Compton-suppressed Ge detector array using the127I(22Ne,4n) reaction. Most of the complicated and irregular level scheme of145Eu can be interpreted as proton multi-quasiparticle states in comparison to the64146Gd82 core nucleus but also excitations across the neutronN=82 core have been observed.
The role of the shape driving neutron orbital in 108Cd
1993
Abstract The nucleus 108Cd has been studied using a heavy-ion reaction and the NORDBALL multi-detector array. The yrast band has been extended to Ip = 24+, and nine quasi-rotational side bands have been identified. The n h 11 2 negative-parity orbital is found to play a dominant role both in the low-spin as well as in the high-spin structure of 108Cd. The first band crossing in the yrast band is caused by the h 11 2 neutrons. The 10+ state of the aligned n( h 11 2 ) 2 configuration decays strongly into a low-lying low-spin intruder-like positive-parity band. It is suggested that this intruder structure is dominated by a non-aligned n( h 11 2 ) 2 configuration. For the first time in this mas…
High-spin states in110Cd
1990
Levels of110Cd have been investigated via the96Zr(18O,4n)110Cd reaction by employing the NORD-BALL array of 17 Compton- suppressed Ge detectors. The yrast band has been observed up to I=28 ħ and 14.2 MeV excitation energy with band crossing at ħωc=0.35 MeV. At least three side bands have been constructed. The negative parity bands experience band crossings at ħωc ≈ 0.45 MeV.
Lifetimes of yrast states in 110Cd
1993
Abstract Lifetimes or lifetime limits of 20 yrast levels in 110 Cd have been measured using the recoil-distance method and the NORDBALL array of Compton-suppressed Ge detectors. From the reduced transition probabilities competing rotational and vibrational behaviour of 110 Cd is revealed. Also non-collective states, associated with proton configurations, have been observed.
Coexisting structures in 119I
1997
Abstract High-spin structures of 119 I have been studied by using 13 C and 15 N induced reactions. In all, fifteen ΔI = 1 or 2 bands belonging to 119 I were found. No evidence was found for bands with collective oblate shape, instead, all the observed rotational bands were interpreted to possess a collective prolate shape. A rich tapestry of noncollective states of both negative and positive parity was observed. Based on TRS calculations various configurations at β 2 ≈ 0.17 and γ = 60° were assigned to these states.
Electromagnetic transition probabilities in 130Ce
1992
Abstract Lifetimes of excited nuclear states have been measured in 130Ce using the coincidence-plunger technique. The employed nuclear reaction was 98Mo(36S, 4n)130Ce at a beam energy of 150 MeV. The measurement has been performed at the NSF Daresbury using the ESSA 30 set-up. It was possible to determine lifetimes for the 4+ to 16+ states in 130Ce. The experimental B(E2) values could be well reproduced by calculations using the triaxial rotor model with β = 0.26 and γ = 21° as well as the rotation vibration model (β = 0.25).
Properties of the 13/2+ isomeric decay in201Hg
1990
The isomeric decay of theT1/2=94 us isomeric state in201Hg was studied in beam via the reaction198Pt(α, n). Gamma-ray and conversion-electron spectra were recorded. From the conversion coefficients, the multipolarities of the two depopulating transitions were determined to beM 2 + 10%E 3 andE 2, respectively. These assignments give the depopulating transitions to be 13/2+ → 9/2− and 9/2− → 5/2−, and these thus substantiate the previous suggestion that the isomeric state hasJπ=13/2+. For the 13/2+ → 9/2−M 2 transition a detailed study ofE 3 andM 4 admixed amplitudes was done. The microscopic properties of the 13/2+ and 9/2− states are discussed, and a comparison to the corresponding ones in1…
Collectivity in ‘‘spherical’’Eu143,144nuclei
1995
Long cascades of stretched E2 transitions have been observed in $^{143}\mathrm{Eu}$ and $^{144}\mathrm{Eu}$ nuclei which at low excitation exhibit spherical shape. Lifetime experiments demonstrate high collectivity values up to B(E2)\ensuremath{\approxeq}100 W.u. among these E2 cascades. The total Routhian surface calculations indicate many crossing rotational bands of the nucleus with triaxial shape at ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\beta}}}_{2}$\ensuremath{\approxeq}0.25 and \ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\approxeq}30\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}. The E2 cascades in $^{143}\mathrm{Eu}$ are proposed to represent the \ensuremath{\nu}${\mathit{h}}_{11/2}^{2}$\ensuremath{\pi}${\mathit{h}}_{11/2}…
Background subtraction and peak search from threefold gamma event data
1990
Abstract A method for subtracting background from triple-coincidence γ events is presented. In our data set it was used to remove 40% of the noise without affecting photopeaks with intensity of >18 counts. An example of performance of Ward's clustering algorithm applied to three-dimensional photopeak searching is also presented. Several standard clustering algorithms were found to be applicable only to background-subtracted data.
