Quadrupole moments and mean-square charge radii in the bismuth isotope chain
1997
Abstract Isotope shifts and hyperfine structures of the 205,206,208,210,210m,212,213 Bi isotopes have been studied on the 306.7 nm line using gas cell laser spectroscopy. The neutron-rich isotopes are the first isotones of Pb to be measured immediately above the N = 126 shell closure. The ground state quadrupole moments of the even- N isotopes increase as neutrons are added or removed from the N = 126 shell, but no corresponding increase is observed in the charge radii.
Ground state properties of manganese isotopes across the N=28 shell closure
2010
Abstract The first optical study of the N = 28 shell closure in manganese is reported. Mean-square charge radii and quadrupole moments, obtained for ground and isomeric states in 50–56 Mn, are extracted using new calculations of atomic factors. The charge radii show a well defined shell closure at the magic number. The behaviour of the charge radii is strikingly different to that of the neutron separation energies where no shell effect can be observed. The nuclear parameters can be successfully described by large scale shell model calculations using the GXPF1A interaction.
Deformation of Sr and Rb isotopes close to theN=Zline viaβ-decay studies using the total absorption technique
2013
A study of the Gamow-Teller strength distributions $B$(GT) in the beta decay of ${}^{78}$Sr and ${}^{76,78}$Rb has been made using a total absorption spectrometer (TAS). Following the success in deducing the sign of the deformation for ${}^{76}$Sr, a similar approach is adopted for ${}^{78}$Sr based on a comparison of the measured $B$(GT) with quasiparticle random-phase approximation calculations. This work confirms its previously expected prolate deformation in the ground state. Conclusions about the structure of the odd-odd ${}^{76,78}$Rb isotopes have been drawn based on their measured $B$(GT) distributions.
Alpha decay of the new isotopes 188,189Po
1999
New neutron-deficient isotopes 188,189Po have been produced in the complete fusion reaction of 52Cr ions with a 142Nd target at the velocity filter SHIP. The evaporation residues were separated in-flight and subsequently identified on the basis of α-γ and α-conversion electron coincidence measurements and of α-α position and time correlations. In 189Po a ground state to ground state α decay with Eα1= 7540(20) keV, T1/2= 5(1) ms and two fine structure α-decays at Eα2= 7264(15) keV and Eα3= 7316(15) keV have been observed. In 188Po (T1/2= 400+200 −150μs) a ground state to ground state α decay at Eα= 7915(25) keV and a fine structure α decay at Eα= 7350(40) keV have been found. Improved data o…
First observation of β decay ofNb108toMo108
1996
The \ensuremath{\beta}-delayed \ensuremath{\gamma} decay of $^{108}\mathrm{Nb}$ has been studied using the on-line mass-separator technique. The measured \ensuremath{\beta}-decay half-life 0.20\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.03 s agrees with the previous measurement based on \ensuremath{\beta}-delayed neutron detection. The lifetime of the first ${2}^{+}$ state in $^{108}\mathrm{Mo}$ was measured to be 0.5\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.3 ns, which is consistent with a deformation \ensuremath{\beta}\ensuremath{\approxeq}0.4. Spin and parity of ${2}^{+}$ are suggested for the ground state of $^{108}\mathrm{Nb}$. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.
Collective structure of the neutron-rich nuclei, 110Ru and 112Ru
1990
Abstract The collective structure of 110 Ru and 112 Ru has been studied at the IGISOL facility through the beta decay of 110 Tc and 112 Tc. Neutron-rich technetium isotopes were produced by the 238 U(p, f) reaction at 20 MeV bombarding energy. The new isotope 112 Tc was found to decay with a half-life of 280(30) ms. The observed energies of the 2 + and 4 + ground state band levels in 108,110,112 Ru are almost the same. However, a steady energy decrease of the proposed gamma band head is observed with increasing neutron number, suggesting importance of triaxiality in these nuclei. In fact, only in 192 Os the second 2 + state has been observed at lower excitation than in 112 Ru. The static de…
The ASTERIX spectrometer at LEAR
1989
The ASTERIX spectrometer has been used to study the formation and the ground state of the pp atom and exclusive final states of pp annihilation at rest in a H2 gas target at NTP, using antiprotons from the Low Energy Antiproton Ring (LEAR) at CERN. The article describes the mechanical construction of the apparatus, the trigger logic, the chamber readout, and the data acquisition system. The detector calibration and the offline processing of the 55 million reconstructed events are illustrated. An overview is given about the new physics results obtained by the experiment.
ϒ production and nuclear modification at forward rapidity in Pb–Pb collisions at sNN=5.02TeV
2021
Abstract The production of ϒ mesons in Pb–Pb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair s NN = 5.02 TeV is measured with the muon spectrometer of the ALICE detector at the LHC. The yields as well as the nuclear modification factors are determined in the forward rapidity region 2.5 y 4.0 , as a function of rapidity, transverse momentum and collision centrality. The results show that the production of the ϒ ( 1S ) meson is suppressed by a factor of about three with respect to the production in proton–proton collisions. For the first time, a significant signal for the ϒ ( 2S ) meson is observed at forward rapidity, indicating a suppression stronger by about a factor 2–3 with respec…
Das Vorzeichen der Hyperfeinstruktur-Aufspaltung des 3d 5 4s 2 6 S 5/2-Grundzustandes des Mn55
1962
Using a double Fabry-Perot interferometer and an atomic-beam light source, the sign of the hyperfine-structure splitting of the 3d 5 4s 2 6 S 5/2 ground state of Mn55 has been determined to be negative. The absolute value of the splitting previously has been measured byWoodgate andMartin.
Spin, moments, and mean square nuclear charge radius ofSr77
1992
The neutron deficient $^{77}\mathrm{Sr}$ nucleus was studied by fast ion beam collinear laser spectroscopy with a detection scheme based on optical pumping, state selective neutralization, and atom counting. From the measured hyperfine splitting and isotope shift of the Sr II transition 5s $^{2}$${\mathit{S}}_{1/2}$\ensuremath{\rightarrow}5p $^{2}$${\mathit{P}}_{3/2}$ the nuclear spin I=5/2, the nuclear moments \ensuremath{\mu}=-0.348(4)${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\mu}}}_{\mathit{N}}$, ${\mathit{Q}}_{\mathit{s}}$=1.40(11) b, and the change in mean square charge radius \ensuremath{\delta}〈${\mathit{r}}^{2}$${\mathrm{〉}}^{88,77}$=0.248(12) ${\mathrm{fm}}^{2}$ were deduced. These ground-state proper…
