First observation of nonyrast levels inZr103and level systematics ofN= 63 Sr, Zr, and Mo isotones
1996
The {beta} decay of the very-neutron-rich nucleus {sup 103}Y has been studied at the isotope separator IGISOL, allowing for the first time the observation of nonyrast levels in its daughter {sub 40}{sup 103}Zr{sub 63}. The level structure is similar to that of its isotones {sup 101}Sr and {sup 105}Mo, suggesting a large ground-state deformation of {beta}{approx_equal} 0.4. Level systematics allows for new level assignments in both {sup 103}Zr and {sup 105}Mo. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
Comparison of T[sub z] = ±1→0 GT Transitions Studied in β—decay and CE Reactions
2010
Gamow‐Teller (GT) transitions can be studied in both β‐ decay and charge exchange(CE) reactions. If isospin is a good quantum number, then the Tz = −1→0 and Tz = +1→0 GT mirror transitions, are identical. Therefore, a comparison of the results from studies of β decay and CE should shed light on this assumption. Accordingly we have studied the β decay of the Tz = −1 fp‐shell nuclei, 54Ni, 50Fe, 46Cr, and 42Ti, produced in fragmentation and we have compared our results with the spectra from (3He, t) measurements on the mirror Tz = +1 target nuclei studied in high resolution at RCNP, Osaka. The experiments were performed as part of the STOPPED beam RISING campaign at GSI.
The 2n-Evaporation Channels In the Fusion of [sup 4,6]He with [sup 206,208]Pb
2009
Excitation functions of the reaction products were measured for the reactions induced by 4,6He projectiles on 206,208Pb targets, leading to the same compound nucleus. This was accomplished by using the stacked‐foil‐activation technique. The identification of the reaction products (accumulated in the Pb targets) was done by their radioactive alp ha decays. The excitation functions for the 2n evaporation channels were obtained at energies below the sub‐Coulomb barrier region. A large value of the fusion cross section was observed in the case of the reaction induced by the weakly bound 6He projectile.
A study of a helium-jet ion guide for an on-line isotope separator
1981
Abstract A new method based on helium-jet techniques permits primary recoil ions, produced in radioactive decay or in nuclear reactions to be run directly through a mass separator. Results obtained with a 227 Ac source promise qualities complementary with those obtained with conventional ion sources and indicate an overall efficiency of the order of 10%. Preliminary results with 20 Na recoils from the 20 Ne(p,n)-reaction indicate that most of the ionic species transported out from the target chamber are negatively charged.
Beta decay of neutron-rich cobalt and nickel isotopes
1998
We report on the first β-γ spectroscopy measurements of the neutron-rich 68–70Co and 70–74Ni nuclei, produced in proton-induced fission of 238U and ionized in a laser ion guide coupled to an on-line mass separator. Several γ lines from the decay of these nuclei have been identified, half-lives determined and production cross sections deduced. The derived level schemes for the copper and nickel isotopes show that the occupation of the ν(1g9/2) state has a strong influence on the structure of these neutron-rich nuclei. This may have a clear impact on the predicted structure and decay properties of doubly-magic 78Ni.
Submillisecond On-Line Mass Separation of Nonvolatile Radioactive Elements: An Application of Charge Exchange and Thermalization Processes of Primary…
1985
Transportation of thermalized primary recoil ions from nuclear reactions by helium flow has been investigated as a means of injecting short-lived radioactive nuclides into an on-line isotope separator. Several short-lived radioactive isotopes of highly nonvolatile elements such as B, Sc, Nb, and W have been separated. The efficiency for heavy nuclides with half-lives above 1 ms is between 1 and 10%. The shortest-lived activity identified in an on-line separation is the 182-\ensuremath{\mu}s isomeric state in $^{207}\mathrm{Bi}$.
Helium-jet ion guide for an on-line isotope separator
1981
Abstract A new method based on helium-jet techniques permits primary recoil ions produced in radioactive decay or in nuclear reactions to be run directly through a mass separator. Test results with a 227 Ac source give promise of qualities complementary to those obtained with conventional ion sources. This, 69 ± 5 per cent of the recoil particles transported with pure, commercial helium are positive ions, and 66 ± 5 per cent of them are mass separated. Nearly equal efficiencies are expected for most chemical elements and compounds. The mass spectra are remarkably free from groups caused by impurities. The shortest achievable separation time is estimated to be of the order of one millisecond.
Fission fragment anisotropy for the 242mAm fission isomer by spin exchange pumping with polarized rubidium vapour
1992
Abstract The foundations of an experiment have been worked out with which, in principle, the spin, hyperfine constants and the isomer shift of the 14 ms fission isomer 242mAm can be measured. Such an experiment would be based on the fission fragment anisotropy signal which has actually been observed in this work after spin exchange pumping with polarized rubidium vapour in an optical buffer gas cell. A decrease of the count rate of (12±4)% has been measured at 90% with respect to the quantization axis. From this result it is concluded that the nuclear spin of the 242mAm fission isomer must be larger than 1. The low-energy fission isomers originating from the 242Pu(d, 2n)242mAm reaction have…

High-precision mass measurements of 25Al and 30P at JYFLTRAP
2016
The masses of the astrophysically relevant nuclei 25Al and 30P have been measured with a Penning trap for the first time. The mass-excess values for 25Al ( $\Delta = -8915.962(63)$ keV) and 30P ( $\Delta = -20200.854(64)$ keV) obtained with the JYFLTRAP double Penning trap mass spectrometer are in good agreement with the Atomic Mass Evaluation 2012 values but $ \approx$ 5-10 times more precise. A high precision is required for calculating resonant proton-capture rates of astrophysically important reactions 25Al (p, $ \gamma$ )26Si and 30P(p, $ \gamma$ )31S . In this work, $ Q_{(p,\gamma)} = 5513.99(13)$ keV and $ Q_{(p,\gamma)} = 6130.64(24)$ keV were obtained for 25Al and 30P , respectivel…
