Neutron configurations inPd113
2014
Excited states in $^{113}\mathrm{Pd}$, populated in ${\ensuremath{\beta}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ decay of $^{113}\mathrm{Rh}$ and in spontaneous fission of $^{248}\mathrm{Cm}$ and $^{252}\mathrm{Cf}$, have been studied by means of $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ spectroscopy at the IGISOL facility of Jyv\"askyl\"a University and using large arrays of Ge detectors (Eurogam2 and Gammasphere, respectively). The position of the ${11/2}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ yrast excitation in $^{113}\mathrm{Pd}$, proposed recently at 166.1 keV by other authors, has been corrected to 98.9 keV. The decay of this level has been discussed to explain the observed transition intensities. The ${7/2}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ member of the yras…
Shape coexistence in neutron-deficient Hg isotopes studied via lifetime measurements inHg184,186and two-state mixing calculations
2014
The neutron-deficient mercury isotopes, $^{184,186}$Hg, were studied with the Recoil Distance Doppler Shift (RDDS) method using the Gammasphere array and the Koln Plunger device. The Differential Decay Curve Method (DDCM) was employed to determine the lifetimes of the yrast states in $^{184,186}$Hg. An improvement on previously measured values of yrast states up to $8^{+}$ is presented as well as first values for the $9_{3}$ state in $^{184}$Hg and $10^{+}$ state in $^{186}$Hg. $B(E2)$ values are calculated and compared to a two-state mixing model which utilizes the variable moment of inertia (VMI) model, allowing for extraction of spin-dependent mixing strengths and amplitudes.
Reevaluation of theP30(p,γ)S31astrophysical reaction rate from a study of theT=1/2mirror nuclei,S31andP31
2006
The $^{30}\mathrm{P}$($p,\ensuremath{\gamma}$)$^{31}\mathrm{S}$ reaction rate is expected to be the principal determinant for the endpoint of nucleosynthesis in classical novae. To date, the reaction rate has only been estimated through Hauser-Feschbach calculations and is unmeasured experimentally. This paper aims to remedy this situation. Excited states in $^{31}\mathrm{S}$ and $^{31}\mathrm{P}$ were populated in the $^{12}\mathrm{C}$($^{20}\mathrm{Ne}$,$n$) and $^{12}\mathrm{C}$($^{20}\mathrm{Ne}$,$p$) reactions, respectively, at a beam energy of 32 MeV, and their resulting $\ensuremath{\gamma}$decay was detected with the Gammasphere array. Around half the relevant proton unbound states …
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…
Lifetime measurements and terminating structures in87Nb
2003
Two experiments have been performed using the Ni-58(S-32,3p) reaction at 135 MeV with Gammasphere and the Microball to study the high-spin structure of the transitional nucleus Nb-87. The first experiment using a thin target provided a considerable extension and refinement of the level scheme, as well as firm spin assignments from directional correlation of oriented nuclei. Sub-picosecond lifetimes were measured in the second backed-target experiment using the Doppler-shift attenuation method. The lifetimes imply a rather modest average deformation of beta(2)similar to0.1, but with considerable variation from state to state. Strong alternations were observed in the B(M1) strengths of transi…
Isomers and high-spin structures in the N=81 isotones Xe135 and Ba137
2017
The high-spin structures of the N = 81 isotones 135Xe and 137Ba are investigated after multinucleontransfer (MNT) and fusion-evaporation reactions. Both nuclei are populated in (i) 136Xe+238U and (ii) 136Xe+208Pb MNT reactions employing the high-resolution Advanced Gamma Tracking Array (AGATA) coupled to the magnetic spectrometer PRISMA, (iii), in the 136Xe+198Pt MNT reaction employing the -ray array GAMMASPHERE in combination with the gas detector array Chico, and (iv) via a 11B+130Te fusion-evaporation reaction. The high-spin level schemes of 135Xe and 137Ba are considerably extended to higher energies. The 2058-keV (19=2 ) state in 135Xe is identified as an isomer, completing the systema…
