Nuclear structure of 131Te studied with (n,γ) and reactions

Abstract The structure of 131 Te has been investigated with the 130 Te( n , γγ ) 131 Te reaction using thermal neutrons and with the 130 Te( d , p ) 131 Te reaction using polarized deuterons with energy E d =18 MeV. About 290 levels were identified in most cases including spin, parity and γ -decay. The γ -decay scheme after neutron capture is essentially complete containing about 100% of the decay of the capture state and about 100% of the population of the 11/2 − isomer and of the ground state. The scheme includes 42 primary transitions with energies between 750 keV and 2500 keV. The experimental level scheme is compared with predictions of the Interacting Boson–Fermion model (IBFM) and of…

Transfer and neutron capture reactions toIr194as a test of Uν(6/12)⊗Uπ(6/4)supersymmetry

The structure of $^{194}\mathrm{Ir}$ is investigated via ($n,\ensuremath{\gamma}),(n,{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}),(d,p)$, and ($\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{d},\ensuremath{\alpha}$) spectroscopy. The use of different methods leads to an almost complete level scheme up to high excitation energies including \ensuremath{\gamma}-decay and spin-parity assignments. A reanalysis of the formerly published ($n,\ensuremath{\gamma}$) data was triggered by our new ($d,p$) and ($\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{d},\ensuremath{\alpha}$) transfer reactions. The experimental level scheme is compared to predictions using extended supersymmetry. Herein, the classification of states was done according to q…

Low-spin mixed particle–hole structures in 185W

Abstract The level structure of 185W has been studied using the prompt and delayed gamma–gamma coincidences from thermal neutron capture in 184W accompanied with the one-nucleon transfer reactions ( d , p ) and ( d , t ) with polarized beams. From these data and those of previous studies a total of 183 levels has been established for energies below 3 MeV. Many of these states have been grouped into rotational bands built on 28 intrinsic states of quasiparticle and quasiparticle-plus-phonon character. Although the DWBA analysis permitted definite spin–parity assignments for most of states a large number of particle transitions have ‘anomalous’ angular and asymmetry shapes with respect to the…

Nuclear structure of 127Te studied with (n,γ) and (d→,p) reactions and interpreted with IBFM and QPM

Abstract The nuclear structure of 127Te has been investigated with the Te 126 ( n , γ γ ) Te 127 reaction using thermal neutrons and with the Te 126 ( d → , p ) Te 127 reaction at E d = 20 MeV . About 190 levels were identified in a region to 4.1 MeV excitation energy, in most cases including spin, parity and γ-decay. The γ-decay scheme after neutron capture is essentially complete containing about 100% of the population of the 11 / 2 − isomer and of the ground state. The thermal neutron capture cross section and isomer production of the 11 / 2 − state at 88.3 keV were determined to be 0.44(6) b and 0.069(10) b, respectively. The neutron binding energy was determined to be 6287.6(1) keV. A …

Interplay of quasiparticle and phonon excitations in 181Hf observed through (n,γ) and reactions

Abstract Nuclear levels of 181 Hf were investigated in the range up to 3 MeV excitation energy by (n, γ ) and (d,p) reactions. Over 170 levels and about 390 γ -transitions were established most of them for the first time. 25 rotational bands were identified. Comparison of the results of the two reactions yields information on the fine structure in the fragmentation of Nilsson strength. The states below 2 MeV with the most complete spectroscopic information were interpreted in terms of the Quasiparticle Phonon Model (QPM). Excitation energies, electromagnetic transition rates, γ -branchings and spectroscopic factors are discussed in connection with their possible structure.

New supersymmetric quartet of nuclei in the A ∼ 190 mass region

We present evidence for a new supersymmetric quartet in the A=190 region of the nuclear mass table. New experimental information on transfer and neutron capture reactions to the odd-odd nucleaus 194 Ir strongly suggests the existence of a new supersymmetric quartet, consisting of the 192,193 Os and 193,194 Ir nuclei. We make explicit predictions for the odd-neutron nucleus 193 Os, and suggest that its spectroscopic properties be measured in dedicated experiments.
