An ion guide for the production of a low energy ion beam of daughter products of α-emitters
2006
A new ion guide has been modeled and tested for the production of a low energy ($\approx$ 40 kV) ion beam of daughter products of alpha-emitting isotopes. The guide is designed to evacuate daughter recoils originating from the $\alpha$-decay of a $^{233}$U source. The source is electroplated onto stainless steel strips and mounted along the inner walls of an ion guide chamber. A combination of electric fields and helium gas flow transport the ions through an exit hole for injection into a mass separator. Ion guide efficiencies for the extraction of $^{229}$Th$^{+}$ (0.06%), $^{221}$Fr$^{+}$ (6%), and $^{217}$At$^{+}$ (6%) beams have been measured. A detailed study of the electric field and …

Pinning down the strength function for ordinary muon capture on 100Mo
2019
Ordinary muon capture (OMC) on 100Mo is studied both experimentally and theoretically in order to access the weak responses in wide energy and momentum regions. The OMC populates states in 100Nb up to some 50 MeV in excitation energy. For the first time the associated OMC strength function has been computed and compared with the obtained data. The present computations are performed using the Morita-Fujii formalism of OMC by extending the original formalism beyond the leading order. The participant nuclear wave functions are obtained in extended no-core single-particle model space using the spherical version of proton-neutron quasiparticle random-phase approximation (pnQRPA) with two-nucleon…
Isotope shift and hyperfine structure measurements at the242f Am fission isomer
1996
Istope shift and hyperfine structure measurements have been performed for the242fAm fission isomer with target production rates of only a few per second. The method is based on resonance ionization spectroscopy (RIS) in a buffer gas cell with radioactive decay detection of the ionization process (RADRIS). A relative isotope shift ratioX exp=IS242f,241/ IS243,241=41.7±0.9 has been measured for the 500.02 nm transition corresponding to a nuclear parameter Λ242f,241=5.4±0.3 fm2. The analysis of the quadrupole moment based on the deformed Fermi-model of the nuclear charge distribution including second order corrections results inQ 20=38.2 ±1.4( −0.8 +0.4 )model eb. The measurement of the hyperf…
Hyperfine structure and isotope shift investigations in $^{202-222}$Rn for the study of nuclear structure beyond Z = 82
1986
The hyperfine structure (hfs) and isotope shift (IS) in the isotopic chain of the radioactive element radon have been studied for the first time. The measurements were carried out by collinear fast-beam laser spectroscopy at the mass separator facility ISOLDE at CERN. The IS between 16 isotopes in the mass range 202≦A≦222 and the hfs of 7 odd-A isotopes were determined in the transitions 7s [3/2]2-7p [5/2]3 (745 nm) of Rn I. The nuclear spins and moments, as well as the observed inversion of the odd-even staggering for218–222Rn, can be associated with the effects of octupole instability around N=134.
Decays of T Z = − 3/2 nuclei 23Al, 31Cl, and 41Ti
2012
This article gives an overview on the decay spectroscopy of T Z = − 3/2 nuclei 23Al, 31Cl, and 41Ti performed at the Ion Guide Isotope Separator On-Line (IGISOL) facility. The results of the IGISOL experiments are compared to the experimental results that have been published since. The isobaric multiplet mass equation (IMME) has been studied for the T = 3/2 quartets at A = 23 and A = 31. For 41Ti, a detailed comparison to the Gamow–Teller strengths obtained for the analog transitions via charge-exchange reactions has been done. Further improvements in the experimental instrumentation and methods and possible implementations for studying T Z = − 3/2 nuclei at the new IGISOL facility are di…
Production of refractory elements close to the Z=N line using the ion-guide technique
1998
Production of neutron-deficient isotopes of refractory elements in the A = 80-88 region was studied using the IGISOL technique and the 165 MeV Si-32 + Ni-nat reaction. Radioactive isotopes of Y through Mo could be produced up to the M-T = + 1 line. New information on the decay of the A = 82 and 85 nuclei, including a more detailed decay scheme and more accurate half-life for Y-82, was obtained. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.

$Q$-value of the superallowed $\beta$ decay of 62Ga
2006
Masses of the radioactive isotopes 62Ga, 62Zn and 62Cu have been measured at the JYFLTRAP facility with a relative precision of better than 18 ppb. A Q_EC value of (9181.07 +- 0.54) keV for the superallowed decay of 62Ga is obtained from the measured cyclotron frequency ratios of 62Ga-62Zn, 62Ga-62Ni and 62Zn-62Ni ions. The resulting Ft-value supports the validity of the conserved vector current hypothesis (CVC). The mass excess values measured were (-51986.5 +-1.0) keV for 62Ga, (-61167.9 +- 0.9) keV for 62Zn and (-62787.2 +- 0.9) keV for 62Cu.
Measurement of the ratioB(B+→Xeν)/B(B0→Xeν)
2005
We report measurements of the inclusive electron momentum spectra in decays of charged and neutral B mesons, and of the ratio of semileptonic branching fractions B(B+-> Xe nu) and B(B-0 -> Xe nu). These were performed on a sample of 231x10(6) B (B) over bar events recorded with the BABAR detector at the Upsilon(4S) resonance. Events are selected by fully reconstructing a hadronic decay of one B meson and identifying an electron among the decay products of the recoiling (B) over bar meson. We obtain B(B+-> Xe nu)/B(B-0 -> Xe nu)=1.074 +/- 0.041((stat))+/- 0.026((syst)).
