Sn108studied with intermediate-energy Coulomb excitation

2005

The unstable neutron-deficient Sn-108 isotope has been studied in inverse kinematics by intermediate-energy Coulomb excitation using the RISING/FRS experimental setup at GSI. This is the highest Z nucleus studied so far with this method. Its reduced transition probability B (E2;0(g.s.)(+)-> 2(1)(+)) has been measured for the first time. The extracted B(E2) value of 0.230(57)e(2) b(2) has been determined relative to the known value in the stable Sn-112 isotope. The result is discussed in the framework of recent large-scale shell model calculations performed with realistic effective interactions. The roles of particle-hole excitations of the Sn-100 core and of the Z=50 shell gap for the E2 po…

Maximum spin aligned states in 98 47Ag51

1998

New excited states have been observed in the neutron deficient isotope Ag-98 following the Ni-58+Cr-50-->Te-108* heavy-ion reaction. One of these states may be interpreted as a maximum spin aligned state of the pi g(9/2)(-3) nu vg(7/2) configuration. Other possible interpretations within the nuclear shell model are discussed as well.

High-spin studies of the neutron deficient nuclei 103In, 105In, 107In, and 109In

1997

High-spin states of the isotopes In-103,In-105,In-107,In-109 have been investigated using in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopic methods. Results from three different experiments are presented. Targets of Fe-54, Cr-50, and Mo-92 were bombarded by a 270 and 261 MeV Ni-58 beam and by a 95 MeV F-19 beam, respectively. Reaction channel separation was achieved with a charged-particle detector array and in the first two experiments also with a 1 pi neutron detector system. As a result of these experiments the level schemes of In-103,In-105,In-107,In-109 were significantly extended. Excited states of these odd-A indium isotopes are discussed within the framework of the nuclear shell model and the hole-co…

Second-forbidden nonunique $$\beta ^-$$ decays of $$^{59,60}$$Fe:possible candidates for $$g_{\mathrm{A}}$$ sensitive electron spectral-shape measure…

2021

In this work, we present a theoretical study of the electron spectral shapes for the second-forbidden nonunique $\beta^-$-decay transitions $^{59}\textrm{Fe}(3/2^-)\to\,^{59}\textrm{Co}(7/2^-)$ and $^{60}\textrm{Fe}(0^+)\to\,^{60}\textrm{Co}(2^+)$ in the framework of the nuclear shell model. We have computed the involved wave functions by carrying out a complete $0\hbar\omega$ calculation in the full $fp$ model space using the KB3G and GXPF1A effective interactions. When compared with the available data, these interactions predict the low-energy spectra and electromagnetic properties of the involved nuclei quite successfully. This success paves the way for the computations of the $\beta$-de…

In-beam spectroscopy at the proton-drip line. First observation of excited states in 106Sb and 107Sb

1994

Neutron deficient nuclei close to Sn-100 have been investigated in-beam using the NORDBALL detector array. A target of Fe-54 was bombarded with a beam of Ni-58 at 270 MeV. Evaporation residues were identified by detecting protons and alpha particles in a 4 pi charged particle multi-detector set-up and neutrons in a 1 pi neutron detector wall in coincidence with gamma rays. Excited states of the proton drip line nucleus Sb-106 and of Sb-107 were identified for the first time. The yrast level schemes constructed from gamma-gamma-particle coincidence and gamma-gamma angular correlation analysis are presented and discussed within the framework of the nuclear shell model.

Event rates for CDM detectors from large-scale shell-model calculations

2006

Abstract We investigate the scattering of the CDM candidate LSP (Lightest Supersymmetric Particle) off nuclei. We have computed the associated event rates and annual modulation signals for the 23 Na, 71 Ga, 73 Ge and 127 I CDM detectors by using the nuclear shell model in realistic model spaces and exploiting microscopic effective two-body interactions. Large-scale computations had to be performed in order to achieve convergence of the results. We have tabulated the associated nuclear-structure coefficients for several LSP masses enabling easy interpolation of our results for any other mass. The relevance of the spin-dependent and coherent channels for the event rates is discussed, from bot…

Elastic and inelastic LSP-nucleus scattering on medium-heavy nuclei

2010

Elastic and inelastic scattering rates of the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) off nuclei are derived for the stable iodine, xenon and cesium detectors. The parameters of the supersymmetric theory are decoupled from the nuclear structure. The involved nuclear wave functions are calculated in the nuclear shell model by using a realistic effective two-nucleon interaction in a realistic valence space. By using fitted nuclear gyromagnetic factors we successfully reproduce the relevant spectroscopic data in the discussed nuclei.

Shell-model study on event rates of lightest supersymmetric particles scattering offKr83andTe125

2016

We investigate the elastic and inelastic scattering of lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) dark matter off two possible target nuclei, $^{83}\mathrm{Kr}$ and $^{125}\mathrm{Te}$. For the nuclear-structure calculations, we employ the nuclear shell model using recently generated realistic interactions. We have condensed the nuclear-physics contribution to a set of nuclear-structure factors that are independent of the adopted supersymmetric (SUSY) model. Total event rates are then easily calculated by combining the nuclear-structure factors with SUSY parameters of choice. In particular, $^{125}\mathrm{Te}$ shows promise as a detector material with both the elastic and inelastic channels yie…

Quantum-state-selective decay spectroscopy of Ra213

2017

An experimental scheme combining the mass resolving power of a Penning trap with contemporary decay spectroscopy has been established at GSI Darmstadt. The Universal Linear Accelerator (UNILAC) at GSI Darmstadt provided a $^{48}\mathrm{Ca}$ beam impinging on a thin $^{170}\mathrm{Er}$ target foil. Subsequent to velocity filtering of reaction products in the Separator for Heavy Ion reaction Products (SHIP), the nuclear ground state of the $5n$ evaporation channel $^{213}\mathrm{Ra}$ was mass-selected in SHIPTRAP, and the $^{213}\mathrm{Ra}$ ions were finally transferred into an array of silicon strip detectors surrounded by large composite germanium detectors. Based on comprehensive geant4 s…
