Development and applications of the IGISOL technique
2001
Abstract The development and present status of the Ion Guide Isotope Separator On-Line technique is presented. Applications to nuclear physics research include decay spectroscopy of proton- and neutron-rich nuclei of refractory elements and studies of their ground-state properties by collinear laser spectroscopy. Future developments, including ion-beam manipulations by linear RFQ and Penning traps, are discussed together with high-energy applications of the IGISOL technique.
Mass and low-lying levels ofIn106,108from theCd106,108(p,nγ)reactions
1984
106In has been studied via the reaction 106Cd(p,nγ)106In in the energy range Ep=7-9 MeV. Inbeam γ-ray excitation functions, γ-γ coincidence measurements, and β+-delayed γ-ray excitation functions have been used to identify thirteen levels in 106In. From this new level scheme the energy separation of the high-spin ground state and the low-spin isomer has been determined to be 28.6±0.5 keV. The threshold energy of the strongest low-lying γ-ray transition yields a mass excess for 106In of -80601±15 keV. Spins for some states are suggested by comparing the excitation functions to Hauser-Feshbach calculations. In-beam γ-ray excitation functions for the 108Cd(p,nγ)108In reaction give a mass exces…
High-momentum components in the 1p orbitals of 16O
1995
Abstract We have investigated that part of the proton momentum distribution of 16O that is linked through the (e, e′p) reaction to low-lying discrete states in 15N. The MAMI facility with its new generation of 100%-duty-cycle electron accelerator has allowed to cover in this experiment the previously not accessible momentum range of 265
The distribution of the rotational transition strength in warm nuclei studied through γ-ray correlations
1995
Abstract The study of damping of rotational motion applying te rotational plane mapping (RPM) method is presented and discussed. The aim of this technique is to extract the distribution of the rotational transition strength from an analysis of the shape of the “central valley” of two- and three-dimensional γ-ray spectra. The method is applied to a triple γ-coincidence data set of 162,163Tm nuclei formed in 37Cl+130Te reactions. The rotational transition strength is obtained as a function of rotational frequency for selected regions of entry states, and the width is found to be rather constant and approximately equal to 80 keV. This value is significantly smaller than the value predicted the…
Measurement of magnetic monopole transition in electron scattering fromO16as direct test of dispersive effects
1991
For the first time an experiment has been performed to measure a magnetic monopole transition in inelastic electron scattering. In {sup 16}O the 0{sup +}{r arrow}0{sup {minus}} transition to the level at {ital E}{sub {ital x}}=10.957 MeV has been observed with a cross section of {ital d}{sigma}/{ital d}{Omega}=(5.4{plus minus}3.8){times}10{sup {minus}37} cm{sup {minus}2}/sr. Measurement of this transition is a direct signature of two-step contributions in electron scattering. Our measurement is in good agreement with the strength calculated for this transition.
Giant resonances in unstable oxygen isotopes
1999
Abstract Electromagnetic and nuclear breakup of the neutron-rich Oxygen isotopes ranging from A = 17 to A = 22 is studied experimentally in reactions at energies around 600 MeV/u. The beams were produced in fragmentation reactions and separated by the GSI Fragment Separator FRS. By measuring the four-momenta of all decay products after inelastic scattering and neutron decay of the projectile, the excitation energy is determined. From the differential cross sections dσ dE ∗ for electromagnetic excitation, the E1-strength distributions can be deduced. For 18,20,22O, low-lying dipole strength is observed, exhausting about 5% of the Thomas Reiche Kuhn sumrule for energies up to 5 MeV above the …
In-beam γ-ray spectroscopy of 56Co
1997
Excited states of Co-56 were studied in the reaction Al-27(S-32,2p1n) Co-56. The NORDBALL array with a Neutron Wall and a Silicon Ball was employed. The excited states were interpreted in terms of ...
Neutron Excitations Across the N=50 Shell Gap in 102In
2002
The structure of In-102 has been investigated by in-beam gamma-spectroscopic methods. Knowledge on the excited states of this nucleus has significantly been extended. Three cascades of transitions were observed to exceed the spin-energy domain spanned by the pig(9/2)(-1)v(d(5/2),g(7/2))(3) configurations. The new high spin states at similar to 4 MeV excitation energy could be assigned to the pig(9/2)(-1)v(d(5/2), g(7/2))(2)h (11/2) configuration, while at least those at 4.733, 5.192 and 5.853 MeV most likely arise from the vg(9/2) --> vd(5/2), g(7/2) one-particle-one-hole excitation across the N = 50 shell closure.
High-spin states in205Rn:A new shears band structure?
1999
The high-spin structure of {sup 205}Rn has been investigated for the first time following the {sup 170}Er({sup 40}Ar,5n) and {sup 197}Au({sup 14}N,6n) reactions at beam energies of 183 MeV and 90{endash}110 MeV, respectively, using the Jurosphere and YRAST Ball arrays. Two new cascades have been identified which dominate the high-spin decay. One of these, consisting of ten stretched M1 transitions with unobserved E2 crossover transitions, is interpreted as a shears structure based on the {nu}i{sub 13/2}{sup {minus}1}{circle_times}{pi}i{sub 13/2}{sup 2} (or {nu}i{sub 13/2}{sup {minus}1}{circle_times}{pi}h{sub 9/2}i{sub 13/2}) configuration. {copyright} {ital 1999} {ital The American Physical…
Nuclear structure of 157Gd
2003
Abstract The energy levels of 157 Gd have been investigated using the (n, γ ) and (n, n′ γ ) reactions. As a result of the analysis of the γ -ray spectra from 16 isolated neutron resonances, a level scheme with a complete set of levels with spins J =1/2, 3/2 has been established up to 1.86 MeV excitation energy. A part of the level scheme is interpreted in more detail on the basis of Coriolis and Δ N =2 coupled Nilsson configurations. Slightly different sets of shape parameters are deduced for negative- and positive-parity levels. A large excess of unassigned 1/2 and 3/2 levels evidently requires an explanation in terms of inclusion of new additional degrees of freedom.
