Collectivity along N=50: Nuclear Structure studies on the neutron-magic nuclei 92Mo and 94Ru with AGATA and VAMOS++
2019
El trabajo desarrollado en esta Tesis se centra en estudio experimental del comportamiento colectivo de los estados excitados de los núcleos semimágicos con N=50 en función de la ocupación del orbital g9/2 de protones, a través de la medida de la vida media de los estados "yrast" 4+ de los núcleos 92Mo y 94Ru. En particular, se ha investigado la conservación de "seniority" a lo largo de la capa g9/2 que es la primera capa donde podría no conservarse. El 100Sn, siendo el núcleo doblemente mágico ligado más pesado con igual número de protones y neutrones, ha atraído siempre un considerable interés desde el punto de vista experimental y teórico. La estructura de este núcleo y sus vecinos son e…
Performance of the Advanced GAmma Tracking Array at GANIL
2020
The performance of the Advanced GAmma Tracking Array (AGATA) at GANIL is discussed, on the basis of the analysis of source and in-beam data taken with up to 30 segmented crystals. Data processing is described in detail. The performance of individual detectors are shown. The efficiency of the individual detectors as well as the efficiency after $\gamma$-ray tracking are discussed. Recent developments of $\gamma$-ray tracking are also presented. The experimentally achieved peak-to-total is compared with simulations showing the impact of back-scattered $\gamma$ rays on the peak-to-total in a $\gamma$-ray tracking array. An estimate of the achieved position resolution using the Doppler broadeni…

Evidence of octupole-phonons at high spin in 207Pb
2019
A lifetime measurement of the 19/2 state in Pb has been performed using the Recoil Distance Doppler-Shift (RDDS) method. The nuclei of interest were produced in multi-nucleon transfer reactions induced by a Pb beam impinging on a Mo enriched target. The beam-like nuclei were detected and identified in terms of their atomic mass number in the VAMOS++ spectrometer while the prompt γ rays were detected by the AGATA tracking array. The measured large reduced transition probability B(E3,19/2→13/2)=40(8) W.u. is the first indication of the octupole phonon at high spin in Pb. An analysis in terms of a particle-octupole-vibration coupling model indicates that the measured B(E3) value in Pb is compa…
Conceptual design of the AGATA 1$\pi$ array at GANIL
2017
The Advanced GAmma Tracking Array (AGATA) has been installed at the GANIL facility, Caen-France. This setup exploits the stable and radioactive heavy-ions beams delivered by the cyclotron accelerator complex of GANIL. Additionally, it benefits from a large palette of ancillary detectors and spectrometers to address in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy of exotic nuclei. The set-up has been designed to couple AGATA with a magnetic spectrometer, charged-particle and neutron detectors, scintillators for the detection of high-energy γ rays and other devices such as a plunger to measure nuclear lifetimes. In this paper, the design and the mechanical characteristics of the set-up are described. Based on sim…
The Deterministic Annealing Filter: A new clustering method for gamma-ray tracking algorithms
2010
A new method of clustering for forward-tracking algorithms has been developed to reconstruct the tracks of gamma-rays in high-resolution detector systems such as AGATA (Advanced GAmma Tracking Array). This technique, called Deterministic Annealing Filter (DAF), comes from statistical physics and is used in high-energy physics. After a description of the DAF method and of the forward-tracking algorithm, the performance of this clustering method is discussed in terms of photopeak efficiency and peak-to-total ratio obtained with GEANT4 simulations for the AGATA geometry. A comparison with the standard so-called "cone clustering method" shows similar performances with a better photopeak efficie…
