β-decay of 35Ca
1999
Abstract The β-decay of the T z =− 5 2 nucleus 35 Ca was studied at the LISE3 spectrometer at GANIL. The 35 Ca decay scheme was deduced from its β-delayed proton emission into the ground and excited states of 34 Ar and from its β-delayed two-proton emission. The 35 Ca half-life was determined to be 25.7±0.2 ms. The measured transition strength function B(GT) is compared to results obtained from large-scale sd-shell model calculations.
Beta-decay of light nuclei close to the proton drip-line: 40Ti and 35Ca
1998
The s-decay of40Ti and35Ca have been studied at the LISE3 spectrometer at GANIL. The decay schemes were deduced from the observed s-delayed proton and γ emission of40Ti and35Ca into the ground and first excited states of39Ca and34Ar, respectively. The Gamow-Teller strength functionB(GT) of the40Ti s-decay extracted from the s-decay branching ratios and the precisely measured40Ti half-life, provides for the first time an experimental calibration of the neutrino detection efficiency for the ICARUS solar neutrino detector.
Beta-decay half-lives at the N = 28 shell closure
2004
Abstract Measurements of the beta-decay half-lives of neutron-rich nuclei (MgAr) in the vicinity of the N =28 shell closure are reported. Some 22 half-lives have been determined, 12 of which for the first time. Particular emphasis is placed on the results for the Si isotopes, the half-lives of which have been extended from N =25 to 28. Comparison with QRPA calculations suggests that 42 Si is strongly deformed. This is discussed in the light of a possible weakening of the spin–orbit potential.
