Two-neutrino ββ decays and low-lying Gamow-Teller β− strength functions in the mass range A=70–176
2017
We apply the proton-neutron deformed quasiparticle random-phase approximation (pn-dQRPA) to describe the low-lying (E 6 MeV) 1+ Gamow-Teller (GT) strength functions in odd-odd deformed nuclei which participate as intermediate nuclei in two-neutrino double-β-decay (2νββ) transitions within the mass range A = 70–176. In deriving equations of motion we use a single-particle basis with projected angular momentum, provided by the diagonalization of a spherical mean field furnished with a quadrupole-quadrupole interaction. The schematic residual Hamiltonian contains pairing and proton-neutron interaction terms in particle-hole (ph) and particle-particle (pp) channels, with constant strengths. By …
β Decay of 127Cd and Excited States in 127In
2019
A dedicated spectroscopic study of the β decay of 127Cd was conducted at the IGISOL facility at the University of Jyväskylä. Following high-resolution mass separation in a Penning trap, β−γ−γcoincidences were used to considerably extend the decay scheme of 127In. The β-decaying 3/2+ and 11/2− states in 127Cd have been identified with the 127Cd ground state and the 283-keV isomer. Their respective half-lives have been measured to 0.45(128)s and 0.36(4) s. The experimentally observed βfeeding to excited states of 127In and the decay scheme of 127In are discussed in conjunction with large-scale shell-model calculations. peerReviewed
