Mass and charge distributions in the very asymmetric mass region of the neutron induced fission of

2001

Abstract The mass-separator Lohengrin was used to measure the yields of the light fission products with A=74−85 and their nuclear charge and kinetic energy distributions from the odd- Z compound nucleus 239 Np ∗ formed by double capture of thermal neutrons. The mass yield distribution reveals an influence of the fragment shell with N=50 affecting also the nuclear charge and kinetic energy distributions. An odd–even effect for protons is found in the very asymmetric mass division, increasing from 4% to 35% with increasing fission asymmetry. This is in contrast to findings in normal asymmetric fission (region of high fission yields) where no odd–even effect for protons was observed. An odd–ev…

Determination of renal tissue ibandronate levels in rats with normal and mildly impaired renal function

2013

After entering the blood, bisphosphonates are immediately bound to bone or excreted unchanged by the kidney. During renal excretion about 0.5% of administrated dosage remains in kidney tissue. The renal tissue level of bisphosphonates (RTL) decreases over time and remains at about 0.15% after 3weeks, but the influence of renal insufficiency (RI) is unclear.We investigated the influence of mild to moderate RI on RTL of ibandronate (IBD). First a method for determination of RTL was implemented and validated. We measured RTL in rats with normal renal function (SHAM) and after unilateral nephrectomy (UNX). In each case one SHAM and one UNX groups received one or alternatively 9 times every 3wee…

Low-spin structure of85Se and theβnbranching of85As

2012

Fission fragments from neutron-induced fission of ${}^{235}$U produced at the high-flux reactor of the Institut Laue-Langevin, Grenoble, were separated with the Lohengrin separator to provide a beam of neutron-rich ${}^{85}\phantom{\rule{-0.16em}{0ex}}$As nuclei. The ${\ensuremath{\beta}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ decay of ${}^{85}\phantom{\rule{-0.16em}{0ex}}$As to ${}^{85}$Se was studied using $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-$\ensuremath{\gamma}$ and $\ensuremath{\beta}$-$\ensuremath{\gamma}$ coincidence techniques. ${}^{85}$Se was also studied using the prompt-$\ensuremath{\gamma}$ coincidence data from spontaneous fission of ${}^{248}$Cm and ${}^{252}$Cf measured with the Eurogam2 and Gammasphere Ge arra…

Mass and charge distributions in the very asymmetric thermal neutron induced fission of the odd-Z nucleus 242mAm

1999

Yields of light fission products (A = 68, 70-84, 87, 88, 94, 96, 98, 102 and 106-108), their kinetic energies and nuclear charge distributions (A = 71-84, 87 and 88) in the thermal neutron induced fission of the odd-Z nucleus Am-242m(Z = 95) were measured using the mass-separator Lohengrin at the Institute Laue-Langevin in Grenoble (France). The mass yield curve shows a fine structure at A = 70, probably due to shell and/or odd-even effects affecting also the nuclear charge distribution. The analysis of isotopic chain yields gives evidence for a very low excitation energy of the lightest fission fragments observed. A preferential formation of fragments with even Z is found for this odd-Z co…

Shape coexistence in the odd-odd nucleus 98Y : the role of the g9/2 neutron extruder

2017

Excited states in 98Y, populated in neutron-induced fission of 235U and in spontaneous fission of 248Cm and 252Cf, have been studied by means of γ spectroscopy using the Lohengrin fission-fragment separator at ILL Grenoble and the EXILL, Eurogam2, and Gammasphere Ge arrays. Two new isomers have been found in 98Y: a deformed one with T1/2 = 180(7) ns and a rotational band on top of it, and a spherical one with T1/2 = 0.45(15)μs, analogous to the 8+ isomer in 96Y, corresponding to the (νg7/2,πg9/2)8+ spherical configuration. Using the JYFLTRAP Penning trap, an accurate excitation energy of 465.7(7) keV has been determined for the 2.36-s isomer in 98Y. This result and the studies of excited le…
