Beta-decay strength and isospin mixing studies in the sd and fp-shells
1998
We have studied beta decays of MT<0 nuclei in sd and fp shells. The decay of 41Ti shows a large, 10(8) %, isospin mixing of IAS and the Gamow-Teller strength is observed to be quenched by a factor of q2=0.64. These results can be reproduced qualitatively in our shell model calculations. We have observed for the first time proton and gamma decay of the isobaric analogue state in 23Mg. Our results on the isospin mixing of the isobaric analogue state agrees well with the shell model calculations. The obtained proton branch of the IAS is used to extract the transition strength for the reaction 22Na(p,γ)23Mg.
Structure ofIn112nucleus
1988
The \ensuremath{\gamma}-ray spectra of the $^{112}\mathrm{Cd}$(p,n\ensuremath{\gamma}${)}^{112}$In and $^{109}\mathrm{Ag}$(\ensuremath{\alpha},n\ensuremath{\gamma}${)}^{112}$In reactions were measured with Ge(Li) spectrometers for bombarding energies of 4.8 MeV protons and 17.1 MeV \ensuremath{\alpha} particles. The energies and relative intensities of 79 $^{112}\mathrm{In}$ \ensuremath{\gamma}-ray transitions have been determined. The electron spectra were measured with combined magnet plus Si(Li) as well as superconducting magnetic lens plus Si(Li) spectrometers. Internal conversion coefficients of 40 $^{112}\mathrm{In}$ transitions have been determined, and the level scheme of $^{112}\ma…
C12(γ,p)11B cross section from 80 to 157 MeV
1995
The $^{12}\mathrm{C}$(\ensuremath{\gamma},p${)}^{11}$B differential cross section has been measured over proton angles ranging from 58\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} to 128\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}, using tagged photons of energy 80--157 MeV, for low-lying regions of residual excitation energy in $^{11}\mathrm{B}$. The data have been compared with four different types of calculation. It is shown that scaling of the cross section with momentum mismatch occurs for both the ground-state and excited-state data.
Hybridization ofsd- andfp-shell proton orbitals in the systemS36+37Cl
1993
Experimental and theoretical evidence is presented that the proton exchange is strongly enhanced by a mixing of single-particle configurations in $^{37}\mathrm{Cl}$ (in the system $^{36}\mathrm{S}$${+}^{37}$Cl, which is shown to be the clearest example of hybridization in nuclear physics. The experimental data on elastic and inelastic transfer are only reproduced if the complete set of single-particle states (${\mathit{d}}_{3/2}$,${\mathit{s}}_{1/2}$,${\mathit{f}}_{7/2}$,${\mathit{p}}_{3/2}$,${\mathit{f}}_{5/2}$, and ${\mathit{p}}_{1/2}$) is included in a coupled-reaction-channel calculation. The strong enhancement is explained by the hybridization of orbits of different parity. In a two-ce…
Photoneutron cross sections for unstable neutron-rich oxygen isotopes.
2000
The dipole response of stable and unstable neutron-rich oxygen nuclei of masses A = 17 to A = 22 has been investigated experimentally utilizing electromagnetic excitation in heavy-ion collisions at beam energies about 600 MeV/nucleon. A kinematically complete measurement of the neutron decay channel in inelastic scattering of the secondary beam projectiles from a Pb target was performed. Differential electromagnetic excitation cross sections d sigma/dE were derived up to 30 MeV excitation energy. In contrast to stable nuclei, the deduced dipole strength distribution appears to be strongly fragmented and systematically exhibits a considerable fraction of low-lying strength.
Exploring the 10Li structure by the d(9Li,p)10Li transfer reaction
2015
The 9Li + 2H reaction has been investigated at 11 AMeV incident energy at the ISAC II facility (TRIUMF). In the present paper we focus on the one-neutron transfer channel, which potentially holds spectroscopic information on the unbound nucleus 10Li. The TUDA setup has been used in order to detect and identify the outgoing 9Li at forward angles and the recoil protons at backward angles. This setup allows to study the 10Li emitted in the crucial region at forward angles in the center of mass.
The d(9Li,p)10Li reaction as a tool to explore the 10Li structure
2015
The ground and low-lying states of the unbound nucleus 10Li were populated by the 9Li + 2H → 10Li + 1H reaction at 11 AMeV incident energy at the ISAC II facility (TRIUMF). In the experimental setup, the outgoing 9Li at forward angles and the recoil protons at backward angles were detected and identified. This setup allows to study the 10Li emitted in the crucial region at forward angles in the centre of mass.
The nucleon axial mass and the MiniBooNE CCQE neutrino-nucleus data
2011
We analyze the MiniBooNE CCQE $d\sigma/dT_\mu d\cos\theta_\mu$ data using a theoretical model that has proved to be quite successful in the analysis of nuclear reactions with electron, photon and pion probes. We find that RPA and multinucleon knockout turn out to be essential for the description of the MiniBooNE data. We show these measurements are fully compatible with former determinations of nucleon axial mass $M_A$, in contrast with several previous analyses, which have suggested an anomalously large value. We find, $M_A=1.08 \pm 0.03$ GeV. We also argue that the procedure, commonly used to reconstruct the neutrino energy for QE events from the muon angle and energy, could be unreliable…
Decay spectroscopy for nuclear astrophysics: β- and β-delayed proton decay
2012
In several radiative proton capture reactions important in novae and XRBs, the resonant parts play the capital role. We use decay spectroscopy techniques to find these resonances and study their properties. We have developed techniques to measure beta- and beta-delayed proton decay of sd-shell, proton-rich nuclei produced and separated with the MARS recoil spectrometer of Texas A&M University. The short-lived radioactive species are produced in-flight, separated, then slowed down (from about 40 MeV/u) and implanted in the middle of very thin Si detectors. This allows us to measure protons with energies as low as 200 keV from nuclei with lifetimes of 100 ms or less. At the same time we measu…
