Shape ofAr44: Onset of deformation in neutron-rich nuclei nearCa48
2009
The development of deformation and shape coexistence in the vicinity of doubly magic $^{48}\mathrm{Ca}$, related to the weakening of the $N=28$ shell closure, was addressed in a low-energy Coulomb excitation experiment using a radioactive $^{44}\mathrm{Ar}$ beam from the SPIRAL facility at GANIL. The ${2}_{1}^{+}$ and ${2}_{2}^{+}$ states in $^{44}\mathrm{Ar}$ were excited on $^{208}\mathrm{Pb}$ and $^{109}\mathrm{Ag}$ targets at two different beam energies. $B(E2)$ values between all observed states and the spectroscopic quadrupole moment of the ${2}_{1}^{+}$ state were extracted from the differential Coulomb excitation cross sections, indicating a prolate shape of the $^{44}\mathrm{Ar}$ n…

Resonance State inH7
2007
The existence of the $^{7}\mathrm{H}$ nuclear system was investigated via a one-proton transfer reaction with a $^{8}\mathrm{He}$ beam at $15.4\mathrm{A}\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}$ and a $^{12}\mathrm{C}$ gas target. The experimental setup was based on the active-target MAYA which allowed a complete reconstruction of the reaction kinematics. The existence of the $^{7}\mathrm{H}$ was confirmed with the identification of seven events where the system was formed with a resonance energy of ${0.57}_{\ensuremath{-}0.21}^{+0.42}\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}$ above the $^{3}\mathrm{H}+4n$ threshold and a resonance width of ${0.09}_{\ensuremath{-}0.06}^{+0.94}\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}$. This stu…

Enhancing the sensitivity of recoil-beta tagging
2013
Tagging with β-particles at the focal plane of a recoil separator has been shown to be an effective technique for the study of exotic proton-rich nuclei. This article describes three new pieces of apparatus used to greatly improve the sensitivity of the recoil-beta tagging technique. These include a highly-pixelated double-sided silicon strip detector, a plastic phoswich detector for discriminating high-energy β-particles, and a charged-particle veto box. The performance of these new detectors is described and characterised, and the resulting improvements are discussed.
Production and Characterization of the $^{7}$H Resonance
2006
Détecteur MAYA; International audience; The 7H resonance was produced via one-proton transfer reaction between a 8He beam at 15.4A MeV and a 12C gas target. The experimental setup was based on the active-target MAYA which allowed a complete reconstruction of the reaction kinematics. The characterization of the identified 7H events resulted in a resonance energy of 600 keV above the 3H+4n threshold and a resonance width of 100 keV. This study represents the first unambiguous proof of the existence of the 7H state.
Lifetime Measurements of the Neutron-RichN=30IsotonesCa50andSc51: Orbital Dependence of Effective Charges in thefpShell
2009
The lifetimes of the first excited states of the N=30 isotones Ca-50 and Sc-51 have been determined using the Recoil Distance Doppler Shift method in combination with the CLARA-PRISMA spectrometers. This is the first time such a method is applied to measure lifetimes of neutron-rich nuclei populated via a multinucleon transfer reaction. This extends the lifetime knowledge beyond the f(7/2) shell closure and allows us to derive the effective proton and neutron charges in the fp shell near the doubly magic nucleus Ca-48, using large-scale, shell-model calculations. These results indicate an orbital dependence of the core polarization along the fp shell.

Lifetime measurements of excited states in neutron-rich nuclei around 48 Ca
2009
The lifetimes of the first excited states of the N = 30 isotones 50Ca and 51Sc and the Z = 18 isotopes 44−46Ar isotopes have been determined using a novel technique that combines the Recoil Distance Doppler Shift method with the CLARA-PRISMA spectrometers in multinucleon transfer reactions. The results allow determinination of the effective charges above 48Ca and test the strength of the N = 28 magic number when moving away from the stability line.

Spectroscopy of proton-rich 66^Se up to J^{\pi} = 6^+: isospin-breaking effect in the A = 66 isobaric triplet
2013
Candidates for three excited states in the 66^Se have been identified using the recoil-{\beta} tagging method together with a veto detector for charged-particle evaporation channels. These results allow a comparison of mirror and triplet energy differences between analogue states across the A = 66 triplet as a function of angular momentum. The extracted triplet energy differences follow the negative trend observed in the f_7/2 shell. Shell-model calculations indicate a continued need for an additional isospin non-conserving interaction in addition to the Coulomb isotensor part as a function of mass.
