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.
Present status of the caloric curve of nuclei
1998
Abstract Spectator decay was studied for the system Au + Au at an energy of 1000 A·MeV and the decay of the interaction region at energies between 50 and 200 A·MeV. In both cases temperatures were derived from several double-ratios of neighboring isotopes and from the population of excited states in 5 Li and 4 He. Agreement was found among the different isotope temperatures and also among the two excited state temperatures. The comparison of isotope and excited state temperatures, however, reveals large differences, which cannot be explained by feeding corrections. At incident energies between 600 and 1000 A·MeV the energy spectra of fragments and also neutrons of the decaying projectile sp…
Properties of isomeric states and the ?d 3/2-vi 13/2 multiplet in194Au
1977
The level structure of194Au has been studied by observing prompt and delayedγ-rays following194Pt(p,n) and195Pt(p,2n) reactions. The conversion electron andγ-ray spectra from the decay of the 0.42s (10−) and 0.60s (5+) isomers at 476 keV and 107.4 keV, respectively, have been measured using the He-jet method. The half-lives of the 6+ (278.2 keV, 1.1±0.4 ns), 7+ (224.6 keV, 2.6±0.2 ns) and 8+ (406.8 keV, 2.9±0.4 ns) members of theπd3/2-vi13/2 multiplet have been obtained from the time distributions between cyclotron beam pulses andγ-rays depopulating these levels. A calculation made assuming a pure two-particle configuration for the multiplet predicts very well theB(E2) values for the transi…
Lifetime measurements probing triple shape coexistence in ^{175}Au
2011
Lifetimes of the low-lying excited states in the very neutron-deficient nucleus ${}^{175}$Au have been measured by the recoil-distance Doppler-shift method using $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-ray spectra obtained with the recoil-decay tagging technique. Transition quadrupole moments and reduced transition probabilities extracted for this odd-$Z$ nucleus indicate the existence of three different shapes and the competition between collective and noncollective structures.
In-beam spectroscopic studies of shape coexistence and collectivity in the neutron-deficientZ≈ 82 nuclei
2016
In the present paper we focus on studies of shape coexistence in even-mass nuclei in the neutron-deficient Pb region. They are based on experiments carried out using tagging techniques in the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyväskylä, Finland. Excited states in many of these nuclei can only be accessed via fusion-evaporation reactions employing high-intensity stable-ion beams. The key features in these experiments are high selectivity, clean spectra and instrumentation that enables high count rates. We review three spectroscopic highlights in this region. peerReviewed
Quadrupole variation of projected spectra of even Ti isotopes
1975
In the present work we study the dependence of projected good $J$ states on the quadrupole moment. In order to achieve this, the quadrupole-moment-depenent generalized deformed BCS (DBCS) wave functions have been computed after minimizing the constrained Hamiltonian ${H}_{q}=H\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\lambda}N\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\mu}Q$. The calculation assumes the existence of a $^{40}\mathrm{Ca}$ spherical core. The two body residual interaction between the valence nucleons is determined by using the $^{42}\mathrm{Sc}$ spectrum for the $T=0$ force and the $^{49}\mathrm{Ca}$ spectrum for the $T=1$ force. The result of the calculation shows that the projected spectra in general cannot…
Modelling of Magnetic Resonance Spectra Using Mixtures for Binned and Truncated Data
2007
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) provides the biochemical composition of a tissue under study. This information is useful for the in-vivo diagnosis of brain tumours. Prior knowledge of the relative position of the organic compound contributions in the MRS suggests the development of a probabilistic mixture model and its EM-based Maximum Likelihood Estimation for binned and truncated data. Experiments for characterizing and classifying Short Time Echo (STE) spectra from brain tumours are reported.
Asymmetric linear Ge(Li)Ge(Li) sum-peak coincidence spectrometer
1972
Abstract An asymmetric linear Ge(Li)Ge(Li) sum-peak coincidence spectrometer configuration has been designed and tested. In this system, the ratio of the gains of two detector-amplifier chains is chosen around 1.2 to 1.3, and the pulse amplitudes or addresses due to coincident events are summed. The simple method introduced involving a single run which results in two spectra (separated according to which detector records the larger energy) appears to be quite useful in γγ coincidence and directional correlation measurements, especially in laboratories where no event-by-event data acquisition hardware are available.
Microscopic nuclear-structure calculations for the solar-neutrino detector and close-lying isobars
2003
In the present solar-neutrino experiments, mainly observing the pp contribution of the solar-neutrino flux, an important role is played by 71Ga. The structure of this detector nucleus and three of its isobars have been calculated by using the microscopic quasiparticle–phonon model. Using a realistic effective two-body interaction in a realistic valence space, the method yielded energy spectra in good agreement with experiments. The calculated logft values for a number of spontaneous and neutrino-induced Gamow–Teller transitions, when compared with the experimental results, gave qualitatively correct but overestimated transition-strength values in most cases.
Resonant Nuclear Fusion Processes and the Gamma Rays of SS 433
1984
Gamma-ray spectral lines have recently been reported coming from the celestial object SS 433, which is known to emit high-speed jets in opposite directions. The proposed identification of the lines as coming from fusion reactions on nitrogen nuclei as part of the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen cycle operating in the jets has now received observational support. Predictions of strengths and widths of additional lines which, if seen, would provide valuable new information about conditions giving rise to the jets are presented.
