A study of fusion - fission atZ= 107
1997
An experiment was performed with the EUROGAM II array to investigate the reaction channels that are open in the fusion of a beam on the actinide target at a series of energies around the Coulomb barrier. The symmetric fission products identified from the level structures seem to suggest that a proton and neutrons are emitted prior to fission.
Assignment of levels in 208Fr and 10- isomers in the odd-odd isotones 206At and 208Fr
2009
Excited states in 208 Fr have been identified using the 197 Au( 16 O, 5n) 208 Fr reaction and a variety of time-correlated γ-ray and conversion electron spectroscopic techniques. Transitions above and below a τ = 623(16) ns 10 − isomer are placed in the level scheme. This isomer is analogous to that observed in the odd-odd isotone 206 At for which additional spectroscopic information is also obtained, including a precise lifetime of τ = 1173(30) ns. The γ-rays assigned to 208 Fr are the same as the main transitions erroneously assigned to 209 Fr in previous work.
Prolate yrast cascade in183Tl
2000
The yrast sequence in ${}^{183}\mathrm{Tl}$ has been studied for the first time in recoil-mass selected \ensuremath{\gamma}-ray spectroscopic measurements. A rotational-like cascade of seven transitions is established down to the band head with probable spin and parity ${(13/2}^{+}).$ Unlike in the adjacent odd-mass Tl nuclei, prompt \ensuremath{\gamma} decay from the yrast band to a lower lying weakly deformed (oblate) structure is not observed. These features are consistent with the predicted drop of the prolate band head in ${}^{183}\mathrm{Tl}$ compared to ${}^{185}\mathrm{Tl}.$ The implications for the prolate energy minimum in odd-mass Tl nuclei at the neutron ${i}_{13/2}$ midshell $(…
Very high rotational frequencies and band termination in73Br
2000
Rotational bands in ${}^{73}\mathrm{Br}$ have been investigated up to spins of $I=65/2$ using the EUROBALL III spectrometer. One of the negative-parity bands displays the highest rotational frequency $\ensuremath{\Elzxh}\ensuremath{\omega}=1.85\mathrm{MeV}$ reported to date in nuclei with $Ag~25.$ At high frequencies, the experimental ${\mathcal{J}}^{(2)}$ dynamic moment of inertia for all bands decreases to very low values, ${\mathcal{J}}^{(2)}l~10{\ensuremath{\Elzxh}}^{2}{\mathrm{MeV}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}.$ The bands are described in the configuration-dependent cranked Nilsson--Strutinsky model. The calculations indicate that one of the negative-parity bands is observed up to its terminatin…
