Levels in208Pb populated in the decay of208Tl(ThC″)
1969
Gamma rays in the disintegration of208Tl(ThC″) have been studied with Ge(Li)-Na I(Tl) anti-Compton and coincidence spectrometers. Several new transitions are reported most of which are placed in a decay scheme incorporating excited states in208Pb at 2,614.5, 3,197.6, 3,475.0, 3,708.3, 3,919.8, 3,960.9, 3,998.5, 4,125.3, 4,180.4, 4,296.1 and 4,480.0 keV. According to the present data, the recently reported intensity of 4.5±1.5% of beta groups feeding levels near 4.3 MeV is far too large.
Beta Decay Study of the Tz=−2 56Zn Nucleus and the Determination of the Half-Lives of a Few fp-shell Nuclei
2014
Abstract This paper concerns the experimental study of the β decay properties of few proton-rich fp -shell nuclei. The nuclei were produced at GANIL in fragmentation reactions, separated with the LISE spectrometer and stopped in an implantation detector surrounded by Ge detectors. The β -delayed gammas, β -delayed protons and the exotic β -delayed gamma-proton emission have been studied. Preliminary results are presented. The decay of the T z = − 2 nucleus 56 Zn has been studied in detail. Information from the β -delayed protons and β -delayed gammas has been used to deduce the decay scheme. The exotic beta-delayed gamma-proton decay has been observed for the first time in the fp -shell. Th…
AK=3two-quasiparticle isomer in98Sr
2002
The decay of on-line mass-separated ${}^{98}\mathrm{Rb}$ to ${}^{98}\mathrm{Sr}$ is studied by $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ spectroscopy. The revised decay scheme adds further evidence of the coexistence of very different shapes in ${}^{98}\mathrm{Sr}.$ A set of levels is proposed to originate from particle-hole pair excitations across the $Z=40$ spherical gap in analogy with ${}^{96}\mathrm{Sr}.$ A deformed $K=3$ band with probable even parity is built on a 7.1-ns isomer at 1838 keV. It is interpreted as a two-quasineutron excitation in accordance with a quantum Monte Carlo pairing calculation based on a deformed shell model. Configurations of the calculated lowest-lying two-quasiparticle levels …
Characterizing the atomic mass surface beyond the proton drip line viaα-decay measurements of theπs1/2ground state of165Re and theπh11/2isomer in161Ta
2012
The α-decay chains originating from the πs1/2 and πh11/2 states in 173Au have been investigated following fusion-evaporation reactions. Four generations of α radioactivities have been correlated with 173Aum leading to a measurement of the α decay of 161Tam. It has been found that the known α decay of 161Ta, which was previously associated with the decay of the ground state, is in fact the decay of an isomeric state. This work also reports on the first observation of prompt γ rays feeding the ground state of 173Au. This prompt γ radiation was used to aid the study of the α-decay chain originating from the πs1/2 state in 173Au. Three generations of α decays have been correlated with this stat…
β-decay half-life of70Kr: A bridge nuclide for therpprocess beyondA=70
2000
The -decay half-life of 70 Kr has been measured for the first time at the ISOLDE PSB Facility at CERN. Mass separated 70 Kr ions were produced by 1 GeV proton induced spallation reactions in a Nb foil. The measured half-life is 57(21) ms. This value is consistent with the half-life calculated assuming a pure Fermi decay, but is clearly lower than the value used in a recent rp-process reaction flow calculation. The result shows that the reaction flow via two-proton-capture of 68 Se is 2.5 times faster than previously calculated assuming an astrophysical temperature of 1.5 GK and a density of 10 6 g/cm 3 .
β-decay of 35Ca
1999
Abstract The β-decay of the T z =− 5 2 nucleus 35 Ca was studied at the LISE3 spectrometer at GANIL. The 35 Ca decay scheme was deduced from its β-delayed proton emission into the ground and excited states of 34 Ar and from its β-delayed two-proton emission. The 35 Ca half-life was determined to be 25.7±0.2 ms. The measured transition strength function B(GT) is compared to results obtained from large-scale sd-shell model calculations.
Der Zerfall des95Sr
1974
The nuclide95Sr was isolated by chemical separation methods after thermal neutron induced fission of235U. It's decay properties were investigated employing semiconductor spectrometers and coincidence techniques. A half-life of 24.4±0.2 sec was found. Out of 29 gamma rays, 25 transitions representing 97% of the observed gamma-ray intensity were placed in a decay scheme comprising 19 excited states of95Y.
The decay scheme of the 3-s Isomer of100Nb and the properties of levels in100Mo
1987
Theβ− decay of the longer-lived isomer in100Nb has been studied at the fission-product separator JOSEF. Measurements ofγ-ray singles spectra, ofγ-γ coincidences and ofγ-γ angular correlations have been performed. A value oft1/2=2.99(11)s has been determined for the isomer which probably hasIπ=4+ or 5+. A scheme of the levels of100Mo which are populated in the decay of this isomer has been established. Information on the spins of several states of100Mo has been obtained. Thus,I=0 levels have been identified at 1,505, 2,038 and 2,087 keV. The mixing ratios have been determined for the 22+→21+ and 23+→21+ transitions. The results provide evidence for a vibrational structure of100Mo with separa…
Structure of the (EC) decay strength function of Tb ( h)
1998
The strength function for the (EC)-decay of ( h) is measured by the method of total -rays absorption. The same strength function is deduced from the analysis of the decay scheme and level scheme. The thus derived strength functions are in quite good agreement with each other. Also, theoretical calculation of by the microscopic quasiparticle-phonon model is carried out. The most characteristic properties of both the experimental and theoretical strength functions are pronounced resonances in .
Total absorption spectroscopy of 58Cu decay
2001
The β decay of 58Cu has been studied by means of total absorption γ-ray spectroscopy. The β feeding to the 58Ni states has been measured, and the strength of the 58Cu(1+) →58Ni(0+) Gamow-Teller transition has been determined with improved accuracy.
