Five-valence-protonN=82isotone137Cs
1999
Yrast excitations in the N=82 isotone {sup 137}Cs have been identified for the first time in thick-target {gamma}-ray coincidence measurements for the system {sup 232}Th+{sup 136}Xe using the Gammasphere array. The {sup 137}Cs nuclei were produced in deep inelastic one-proton-transfer reactions. By-products of the main investigation were two well-developed rotational bands which were identified in heavy reaction partner products complementary to {sup 137}Cs and are tentatively assigned to the little studied nucleus {sup 231}Ac. There was no difficulty in placing the 11 observed {sup 137}Cs transitions in a yrast level scheme extending to an I{sup {pi}}=(31/2{sup {minus}}) level at 5494 keV.…
Photoproduction of $ \pi^{0}$ -pairs off protons and off neutrons
2015
Total cross sections, angular distributions, and invariant-mass distributions have been measured for the photoproduction of $\pi^0\pi^0$ pairs off free protons and off nucleons bound in the deuteron. The experiments were performed at the MAMI accelerator facility in Mainz using the Glasgow photon tagging spectrometer and the Crystal Ball/TAPS detector. The accelerator delivered electron beams of 1508 and 1557~MeV, which produced bremsstrahlung in thin radiator foils. The tagged photon beam covered energies up to 1400~MeV. The data from the free proton target are in good agreement with previous measurements and were only used to test the analysis procedures. The results for differential cros…
Study of high spins in $^{173}$Os
1991
High-spin states in 173Os have been studied by γγ-coincidence measurements following the 146Nd(32S, 5n)173Os reaction. Additional information has also been extracted from the reaction 144Sm(32S, 2pn)173Os. Four main sequencies have been identified as the two signature branches of the bands built on the [642]52+ and [523]52− Nilsson states. The band features have been analysed within the framework of the cranked shell model. The positive-parity band provides evidence for a v(i132)2 crossing at low frequency and a π(h112)2 and/or π(h92)2 cross In the negative-parity band the upbend starts at relatively low frequency indicating, presumably, an early v(i132)2 alignment. There is evidence for an…

Determination of the intrinsic quadrupole moment of the superdeformed band in 143Eu
1995
The intrinsic quadrupole moment, Q0, of the superdeformed band in 143Eu has been extracted from nuclear lifetimes, measured in a Doppler shift attenuation method experiment. Data were collected with the NORDBALL gamma-ray spectrometer following the reaction 110Pd (37Cl, 4n) 143Eu at a beam energy of 160 MeV. A centroid shift analysis of the data was carried out, using the Braune stopping powers to model the slowing down of the recoil nuclei in the target and backing materials. This gave a value of Q0 = 13.0 ± 1.5 eb for the band. The result is in good agreement with the theoretical prediction of Total Routhian Surface calculations, and supports the assigned single particle configuration, in…
Coulomb effects in deuteron breakup by proton impact
1994
We present the first results of a calculation of kinematically complete differential cross sections for the proton-induced deuteron breakup reaction, obtained by using a three-body formalism based on momentum space integral equations which correctly takes into account the Coulomb repulsion between the two protons. Comparison with experimental data is made.
Lifetime Measurements of the Neutron-RichN=30IsotonesCa50andSc51: Orbital Dependence of Effective Charges in thefpShell
2009
The lifetimes of the first excited states of the N=30 isotones Ca-50 and Sc-51 have been determined using the Recoil Distance Doppler Shift method in combination with the CLARA-PRISMA spectrometers. This is the first time such a method is applied to measure lifetimes of neutron-rich nuclei populated via a multinucleon transfer reaction. This extends the lifetime knowledge beyond the f(7/2) shell closure and allows us to derive the effective proton and neutron charges in the fp shell near the doubly magic nucleus Ca-48, using large-scale, shell-model calculations. These results indicate an orbital dependence of the core polarization along the fp shell.
The Pion Single-Event Effect Resonance and its Impact in an Accelerator Environment
2020
International audience; The pion resonance in the nuclear reaction cross section is seen to have a direct impact on the single-event effect (SEE) cross section of modern electronic devices. This was experimentally observed for single-event upsets and single-event latchup. Rectangular parallelepiped (RPP) models built to fit proton data confirm the existence of the pion SEE cross-section resonance. The impact on current radiation hardness assurance (RHA) soft error rate (SER) predictions is, however, minimal for the accelerator environment since this is dominated by high neutron fluxes. The resonance is not seen to have a major impact on the high-energy hadron equivalence approximation estab…
Production of plutonium tracers in 237Np nuclear reactions with 3He-ions in the energy range from 26 to 60 MeV
1998
Cross-sections for the reaction Np-237 + He-3 --> Pu-236,Pu-237,Pu-238 at He-3 bombarding energies from 26 to 60 MeV were measured. Thick-target yields, based on the measured and previously known cross-sections were constructed. The results are discussed and compared with Ether reactions leading to the formation of the same final nuclei. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
Kinetic and equilibrium studies for the adsorption of acid nucleic bases onto K10 montmorillonite
2011
Abstract The kinetic of the adsorption of two nucleic acid bases, namely adenine (A) and cytosine (C), on K10 montmorillonite (MMT) clay has been investigated over a wide range of nitrogenous bases concentrations, by using the spectrophotometric method. The measurements have been performed at T = 25.0 °C and pH = 4.0 where adenine and cytosine exist both in their protonated and neutral forms. Preliminary to the kinetic data treatment, the adsorption isotherms have been gathered and, then, analyzed by using the Freundlich and the Dubinin–Radushkevich model. The obtained results allow to draw the conclusion that physisorption of adenine and cytosine on MMT occurs and the process is mainly gov…
