Pinch technique at two loops: The case of massless Yang-Mills theories
2000
The generalization of the pinch technique beyond one loop is presented. It is shown that the crucial physical principles of gauge-invariance, unitarity, and gauge-fixing-parameter independence single out at two loops exactly the same algorithm which has been used to define the pinch technique at one loop, without any additional assumptions. The two-loop construction of the pinch technique gluon self-energy, and quark-gluon vertex are carried out in detail for the case of mass-less Yang-Mills theories, such as perturbative QCD. We present two different but complementary derivations. First we carry out the construction by directly rearranging two-loop diagrams. The analysis reveals that, quit…
Hydrogen maser frequency shifts due to coherently excited Δm F =±1 transitions betweenF=1 levels of the atomic hydrogen ground state
1968
Hydrogen maser frequency shifts, caused by the multiple quantum transition nonlinearities of a resonant multiple frequency excitation of the atomic hydrogen four level ground state system have been investigated. The oscillation characteristics of hydrogen maser operation with simultaneously excited, low frequencyΔm F =±1 transitions between theF=1 states of the atomic hydrogen ground state have been analysed theoretically and explicit formulas for hydrogen maser frequency shifts and amplitude response have been derived for arbitrary maser oscillation amplitude and a small signal approximation for theΔm F =±1 “Zeeman” transitions. The comparison with experimentally observed hydrogen maser fr…

Beta decay of $^{61}$Ga
1999
The β decay of 61Ga to its mirror nucleus 61Zn has been measured for the first time by using on-line mass separation and β-delayed gamma-ray spectroscopy. The observed decay strength to the ground state implies superallowed character in accordance with the systematics of the mirror decays in the sd and fp shell. The β feedings observed to four excited states in 61Zn are consistent with earlier spin-parity assignments based on in-beam experiments. The ground-state spin and parity for 61Ga were determined to be 3/2−.
Ground-state spin of 59Mn
2001
Beta decay of $^{59}$Mn has been studied at PSB-ISOLDE, CERN. The intense and pure Mn beam was produced using the Resonance Ionization Laser Ion Source (RILIS). Based on the measured $\beta$-decay rates the ground-state spin and parity are proposed to be $J^{\pi}$ = 5/2$^{-}$. This result is consistent with the systematic trend of the odd-A Mn nuclei and extends the systematics one step further towards the neutron drip line.
First observation of excited states in $^{197}$At: the onset of deformation in neutron-deficient astatine nuclei
1999
Excited states in the Z= 85 nucleus 197At have been identified for the first time using the recoil-decay-tagging (RDT) technique. The excitation energy of these states is found to be consistent with the systematics of neutron-deficient astatine nuclei and with theoretical calculations indicating that the nucleus may be deformed in its ground state.
Competing T = 0 and T = 1 structures in the N = Z nucleus $^{62}_{31}$Ga
1998
Abstract The low-lying levels in the odd-odd N = Z nucleus 62 Ga have been identified for the first time. These data reveal a cascade of stretched-E2 transitions based on a T =0, 1 + bandhead which decays directly to the T =1, 0 + ground state. The observed levels are interpreted in the context of theshell model, using as a basis, the pf 5/2 g 9/2 orbits with a 56 Ni core.
Ion storage technique for very long living states: The decay rate of the 5D 3/2 state of Ba II
1979
The metastable 5D 3/2 state of Ba+ is used to demonstrate the possibility of the ion storage technique for the measurement of extremely long lived states. The ions are confined in a r.f. quadrupole trap and excited by a strong pulsed tunable dye laser to the 6P 1/2 state which partially decays into the 5D 3/2 state. Sampling of the time development of the ground state population leads to the determination of the 5D 3/2 decay rate. Using He as a buffer gas at a pressure of about 10−6 mbar to initially store the ions, varying the gas density and extrapolating to zero pressure, we find for the lifetime $$\tau _{D_{3/2} } = 17.5 \pm 4s$$ .
Nuclear spin determination of100mY by collinear laser spectroscopy of optically pumped ions
2010
The nuclear spin of the τ1/2 = 0.94 s isomer in 100Y has been determined by collinear laser spectroscopy of optically pumped yttrium fission fragments at the IGISOL facility, JYFL. The isotopes 96, 98, 99, 100Y were produced by the proton-induced fission of natural uranium, and studied on the 4d5s 3D2 (1045 cm−1) → 4d5p 3P1 (32 124 cm−1) transition at 321.67 nm. Enhancement of the population of the metastable 3D2 level was achieved by optically pumping the ground state population via the 5s2 1S0 → 4d5p 1P1 transition at 363.31 nm while the ions were stored in a linear Paul trap. These data, when combined with previous spectroscopic results, give sufficient information for the nuclear spin o…
