Quasiparticle alignments andα-decay fine structure of175Pt
2014
Excited states and decay properties of ${}^{175}$Pt have been investigated using the ${}^{92}$Mo${(}^{86}\mathrm{Sr},2pn)$ fusion-evaporation reaction. The JUROGAM I $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-ray spectrometer and the GREAT spectrometer were used in conjunction with the gas-filled recoil separator RITU for the measurement of the radiation at the target and focal plane positions, respectively. Two new band structures, assigned to be based on the ${I}^{\ensuremath{\pi}}=({{}^{7}{/}_{2}}^{\ensuremath{-}})$ ground state in ${}^{175}$Pt, have been established and the known yrast band has been extended up to ${I}^{\ensuremath{\pi}}=({{}^{49}{/}_{2}}^{+})$. Rotational properties of the excited states i…
Nuclear matrix elements of ββ decay from β-decay data
2005
Abstract The evaluation of the nuclear matrix elements (NME) of the two-neutrino double beta ( 2 ν β β ) decay and neutrinoless double beta ( 0 ν β β ) decay using the proton–neutron quasiparticle random-phase approximation (pnQRPA) is addressed. In particular, the extraction of a proper value of the proton–neutron particle–particle interaction parameter, g pp , of this theory is analyzed in detail. Evidence is shown, that it can be misleading to use the experimental half-life of the 2 ν β β decay to extract a value for g pp . Rather, arguments are given in favour of using the available data on single beta decay for this purpose.
Investigation of the decay of to excited states in
1996
The two-neutrino mode of double beta decay of is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The calculations, using the quasiparticle random phase approximation approach, show that for the detection of transitions to the two first excited states in the daughter nuclide will be possible in the very near future. On the experimental side, new, most stringent limits on half-lives for the double beta decay of to excited states in have been obtained with a `well-type' germanium detector. They range between and years (90% CL).
β-delayed neutron decay of 104Y, 112Tc, 113Tc and 114Tc: test of half-life predictions for neutron-rich isotopes of refractory elements
1999
Abstract Beta-decay gross properties of neutron-rich isotopes 104Y and 112,113,114Tc produced in 25 MeV proton-induced fission of 238U have been measured. Decays of 104Y with a half-life of 180±60 ms and of 114Tc with a half-life of 150±30 ms are reported for the first time. Beta-delayed neutron emission probabilities of 112,113,114Tc are determined as (1.5±0.2)%, (2.1±0.3)% and (1.3±0.4)%, respectively. Comparison of the observed Pn values with a recent theoretical calculation based on deformed quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA) shows good overall agreement for Tc isotopes. However, comparison of beta-decay half-lives of neutron-rich isotopes of Y to Rh with the QRPA model and…

Microscopic quasiparticle-phonon description of odd-mass127−133Xeisotopes and their β decay
1998
Quasiparticle-phonon equations of motion are solved starting from a microscopic realistic many-body Hamiltonian. In this microscopic quasiparticle-phonon model (MQPM) the relevant part of the three-quasiparticle Hilbert space may possibly be taken into account even in calculations using large single-particle bases. As an example, the MQPM is applied to the calculation of energy levels and Fermi and Gamow-Teller beta-decay transition amplitudes for transitions between odd-mass ${}^{127\ensuremath{-}133}\mathrm{Xe}$, ${}^{127\ensuremath{-}133}\mathrm{I}$, and ${}^{127\ensuremath{-}133}\mathrm{Cs}$ isotopes. Considering the fully microscopic nature of the MQPM, comparison of its results and da…
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.
On the decrease in charge radii of multi-quasi particle isomers
2007
Abstract We report changes in mean-square charge radii, δ 〈 r 2 〉 , magnetic moments and quadrupole moments for three multi-quasi particle isomers; 97m2Y, 176mYb and 178m1Hf. All the isomers are observed to display a decrease in 〈 r 2 〉 compared to the lower-lying nuclear state on which the isomer is built. The decreases in 〈 r 2 〉 occur despite the isomers showing increases in quadrupole moment. Possible mechanisms for the effect, which is now seen for six multi-quasi particle isomers, are discussed.
Kπ=8−isomers andKπ=2−octupole vibrations inN=150shell-stabilized isotones
2008
Isomers have been populated in {sup 246}Cm and {sup 252}No with quantum numbers K{sup {pi}}=8{sup -}, which decay through K{sup {pi}}=2{sup -} rotational bands built on octupole vibrational states. For N=150 isotones with (even) atomic number Z=94-102, the K{sup {pi}}=8{sup -} and 2{sup -} states have remarkably stable energies, indicating neutron excitations. An exception is a singular minimum in the 2{sup -} energy at Z=98, due to the additional role of proton configurations. The nearly constant energies, in isotones spanning an 18% increase in Coulomb energy near the Coulomb limit, provide a test for theory. The two-quasiparticle K{sup {pi}}=8{sup -} energies are described with single-pa…
