Identification of theg92proton and neutron band crossing in theN=ZnucleusSr76
2007
High-spin states in $^{76}\mathrm{Sr}$ have been studied using Gammasphere plus Microball detector arrays. The known yrast band has been extended beyond the first band crossing, which involves the simultaneous alignment of pairs of ${\mathrm{g}}_{\frac{9}{2}}$ protons and neutrons, to a tentative spin of $24\ensuremath{\hbar}$. The data are compared with the results of cranked relativistic mean-field (CRMF) and cranked relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov (CRHB) calculations. The properties of the band, including the ${\mathrm{g}}_{\frac{9}{2}}$ proton/neutron band crossing frequency and moments of inertia, are found to be well reproduced by the CRHB calculations. Furthermore, the unpaired CRMF …
Proton dripline studies at ISOLDE: 31Ar and 9C
2002
In this contribution examples of the application of new technologies to disentangle the mechanism of $\beta$-delayed multiparticle emission are given. In particular the mechanism of $\beta$2p-emission from $^{31}$Ar has been resolved and proved to be sequential, a preview of $^{9}$C-decay data is discussed.

New experimental efforts along the rp-process path
2007
The level structure just above the proton threshold of the nucleus 30S has been studied using the neutron removal process on fast radioactive beams at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University. In this work we provide a description of the experimental setup. The present status of the analysis is also discussed.
Experimental study ofβ-delayed proton decay ofAl23for nucleosynthesis in novae
2011
The $\ensuremath{\beta}$-delayed $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ and proton decay of $^{23}\mathrm{Al}$ has been studied with an alternative detector setup at the focal plane of the momentum achromat recoil separator MARS at Texas A University. We could detect protons down to an energy of 200 keV and determine the corresponding branching ratios. Contrary to results of previous $\ensuremath{\beta}$-decay studies, no strong proton intensity from the decay of the isobaric analog state (IAS) of the $^{23}\mathrm{Al}$ ground state at ${E}_{x}=7803$ keV in $^{23}\mathrm{Mg}$ was observed. Instead we assign the observed low-energy group ${E}_{p,\mathrm{c}.\mathrm{m}.}=206$ keV to the decay from a state that…
$$N\bar N$$ annihilation at rest into five pions
1993
\(N\bar N\) annihilation at rest into five pions was studied in the ASTERIX spectrometer by stopping antiprotrons from LEAR in a H2 or D2 gas target. In\(\bar pp\) annihilations in H2 leading to the π+π−π+π−π0 final state, the invariant mass spectra of two, three, and four pions show no evidence for any new narrow states. In\(\bar pn \to \pi ^ + \pi ^ - \pi ^ + \pi ^ - \pi ^ - \) the difference of the four pion mass spectra recoiling against a π− and those recoiling against a π+ shows a resonance-like structure (“ζ (1480)”), confirming a previous analysis with a smaller event sample. The ζ (1480) mass is shown to depend strongly on the momentum of the spectator proton. In H2, we searched fo…
Virtual Compton Scattering at MAMI γ*p→ γ1p1
1999
The virtual Compton scattering (VCS) is the electron scattering on a proton which radiates a real photon before being detected. The new observables, called Generalized Polarizabilities (GP), extracted from this VCS at threshold can be understood as the deformation of the charge and current distributions of the proton [1]. These GP are functions of the mass of the virtual photon Q2. In real Compton scattering (Q2 = 0), some polarizabilities of the nucleon are already measured [2]. With the VCS, we will generalize these observables by measuring them at different values of Q2.
Antiproton-proton annihilation at rest intoπ + π − η ′ andπ + π − η from atomicS andP states
1990
We have measured the branching ratios for\(\bar pp\) annihilation at rest intoπ+π−η andπ+π−η′ in hydrogen gas in two data samples that have different fractions ofS-wave andP-wave initial states. The branching ratios are derived from a comparison with the topological branching ratio for\(\bar pp\) annihilations into four charged pions of (49±4)% and the branching ratio intoπ+π−π+π−π0 of (18.7±1.6)%. We find a significant reduction of the branching ratios fromP-states for\(\bar pp \to \pi ^ + \pi ^ - \eta \) andπ+π−η′ in comparison toS-state annihilation. $$\begin{gathered} BR(S - wave \to \pi ^ + \pi ^ - \eta ) = (13.7 \pm 1.46) \cdot 10^{ - 3} \hfill \\ BR(P - wave \to \pi ^ + \pi ^ - \eta …
Heavy ion and proton test site at JYFL-accelerator laboratory
1999
Abstract A radiation effects facility (RADEF) has been installed in the Accelerator Laboratory of the Department of Physics, University of Jyvaskyla (JYFL). The facility includes a special beam line dedicated to irradiation studies of semiconductor components and devices. It consists of a vacuum chamber including component movement apparatus and the necessary diagnostic equipment required for beam quality and intensity analysis. Construction of the station began in the summer of 1996, and in August 1997 the suitability of the station for space applications was evaluated. In this paper we introduce the accelerator laboratory along with the test station and its properties. We also describe th…
Observation of theβ-Delayedγ-Proton Decay ofZn56and its Impact on the Gamow-Teller Strength Evaluation
2014
We report the observation of a very exotic decay mode at the proton drip line, the $\ensuremath{\beta}$-delayed $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-proton decay, clearly seen in the $\ensuremath{\beta}$ decay of the ${T}_{z}=\ensuremath{-}2$ nucleus $^{56}\mathrm{Zn}$. Three $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-proton sequences have been observed after the $\ensuremath{\beta}$ decay. Here this decay mode, already observed in the $sd$ shell, is seen for the first time in the $fp$ shell. Both $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ and proton decays have been taken into account in the estimation of the Fermi and Gamow-Teller strengths. Evidence for fragmentation of the Fermi strength due to strong isospin mixing is found.
