Effects of weakly coupled channels on quasielastic barrier distributions
2009
Heavy-ion collisions often produce fusion barrier distributions with structures displaying a fingerprint of couplings to highly collective excitations. Similar distributions can be obtained from large-angle quasielastic scattering, although in this case, the role of the many weak direct-reaction channels is unclear. For $^{20}\mathrm{Ne}+^{90}\mathrm{Zr}$, we have observed the barrier structures expected for the highly deformed neon projectile; however, for $^{20}\mathrm{Ne}+^{92}\mathrm{Zr}$, we find significant extra absorption into a large number of noncollective inelastic channels. This leads to smearing of the barrier distribution and a consequent reduction in the ``resolving power'' o…
Transfer cross sections at near-barrier energy for the 24Mg + 90,92Zr systems
2018
We have tested the hypothesis that for systems 24Mg + 90,92Zr, the shape of the barrier height distribution is not influenced by transfers processes. The experiment was performed using the ICARE detector system at the Warsaw Cyclotron. Having measured the transfer cross sections of the near-barrier collisions of 24Mg + 90,92Zr, we have found them to be roughly half of the value obtained for the 20Ne + 90,92Zr systems. From that observation, we conclude that in the 24Mg + 90,92Zr case, the leading cause of washing out the barrier distribution structure is the partial dissipation of relative kinetic energy into the non-collective excitation of the system. peerReviewed
HOW MANY FUSION BARRIERS?
2004
Fusion barrier distributions for the 20 Ne + 112,116,118 Sn systems have been extracted from quasi-elastic scattering cross sections measured at the Warsaw HIL Cyclotron. Results are compared to coupled-channels calculations performed with the CCFULL code. The overall widths of the distributions are reproduced on taking account of the low-lying collective states of the target and projectile but some puzzling discrepancies in their shapes remain to be explained.
Investigation of a gas catcher/ion guide system at the Warsaw cyclotron
2003
NESTER ACC; The properties of a gas-catcher/ion guide system, connected to a mass separator at the Heavy Ion Laboratory of Warsaw University, were investigated by using the α-decay recoil products 219Rn and 215Po, obtained from a 223Ra source. The “plasma effect” was studied by using a 14N beam with intensities ranging from 7 to 64 particledot operatornA, which correspond to power depositions between 1.6 dot operator 1016 and 7.2 dot operator 1017 eV/s for helium pressures of 75 and 380 hPa, respectively.
Absence of structure in the $^{20,22}$Ne + $^{118}$Sn quasi-elastic barrier distribution
2005
Abstract Motivated by the extreme deformation parameters of the projectile, we have measured quasi-elastic scattering for 20 Ne + 118 Sn. In contrast to calculations based on known collective states, the experimental barrier distribution is structureless. A comparison with the system 22 Ne + 118 Sn shows that this smoothing is unlikely to be due to nucleon- or α -transfer channels, and is more likely to be due to coupling to many other weak channels.
Weak channels in backscattering of20Ne onnatNi,118Sn, and208Pb
2012
To further our understanding of the influence of weakly coupled channels on the distribution of Coulomb barrier heights, we have measured transfer cross sections for ${}^{20}$Ne ions backscattered from ${}^{\mathrm{nat}}$Ni, ${}^{118}$Sn, and ${}^{208}$Pb targets at near-barrier energies. The $Q$ value spectrum in the case of ${}^{208}$Pb target has been determined too. The transfer channels appear to be especially important for ${}^{208}$Pb, whose double-closed-shell nature leads to a relatively low level density for noncollective inelastic excitations.
Spectroscopy of Low-lying States in $^{140}$Sm
2014
International audience; Electromagnetic transition strengths and spectroscopic quadrupole moments for Sm-140 were measured by means of multi-step Coulomb excitation with radioactive beam at the ISOLDE facility at CERN. A complementary experiment was performed at the Heavy Ion Laboratory in Warsaw to assign spins for non-yrast states using the angular correlation technique. Based on the new experimental data previous spin assignments need to be revised.

Smoothing of structure in the fusion and quasielastic barrier distributions for the20Ne+208Pb system
2012
We present simultaneously measured barrier distributions for the ${}^{20}$Ne $+$ ${}^{208}$Pb system derived from large-angle quasielastic scattering and fusion, in the latter case by means of the detection of fission fragments. Both distributions turned out to be smooth, in spectacular disagreement with the results of standard coupled-channels calculations. Namely, they do not posses the strong structure expected from coupled-channels calculations, even if apparently they take into account explicitly all relevant strong couplings. This points to the importance of weak channels, i.e., transfer reactions and scattering connected with noncollective excitations.
