In-beam studies of203, 205Bi and shell-model features of odd-a bismuth isotopes

1982

States in203, 205Bi are populated using the reaction203, 205Tl(3He,3n). Theπi13/2 single-proton states and all the members of thev(21+)⊗π h9/2 quintuplet are identified in both nuclei. The half-lives of the isomericJπ=21/2+ states in both isotopes are measured and found to be 90±7 ns and 100±6 ns, and from these values suggestions for the half-lives of the previously reportedJπ=25/2+ isomers are made. The structures of the multiplets of the formv(Pb)⊗π h9/2 are calculated in the framework of the shell model and it is shown that the main features can be derived from theπ−v−1 effective interaction. The wave functions of the 41+ and 40+ states in202, 204pb are deduced indirectly from the calcu…

The origin of the Ca–Ti–Cr–Fe–Ni isotopic anomalies in the inclusion EK-1-4-1 of the Allende meteorite

2003

The origin of the correlated Ca-Ti-Cr-Fe-Ni isotopic anomalies in the Ca-Al-rich inclusion of the EK-1-4-1 of the Allende is a longstanding puzzle. The search for a stellar environment which could explain the enrichment of neutron-rich stable Ca-...-Ni isotopes in a self-consistent way requires nuclear physics data far from stability. Recent experimental data have been obtained in the region of the shell closures N = 28 and N = 40, where the possible progenitors of these nuclei are found. Astrophysical network calculations have been updated by including the new beta-decay properties and microscopic predictions of neutron-capture cross sections. Interplay between nuclear structure far from s…

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.

Structure of the As, Ge, Ga nuclei

2012

Abstract The level structures of the N = 50 83As, 82Ge, and 81Ga isotones have been investigated by means of multi-nucleon transfer reactions. A first experiment was performed with the CLARA–PRISMA setup to identify these nuclei. A second experiment was carried out with the GASP array in order to deduce the γ-ray coincidence information. The results obtained on the high-spin states of such nuclei are used to test the stability of the N = 50 shell closure in the region of 78Ni ( Z = 28 ). The comparison of the experimental level schemes with the shell-model calculations yields an N = 50 energy gap value of 4.7(3) MeV at Z = 28 . This value, in a good agreement with the prediction of the fini…

Collective 2$^{+1}$ excitations in$^{206}$Po and$^{208,210}$Rn

2016

In the present study, $B(E2; 2^{+}_{1}\rightarrow 0^{+}_{1})$ values have been measured in the 208,210Rn and 206Po nuclei through Coulomb excitation of re-accelerated radioactive beams in inverse kinematics at CERN-ISOLDE. These nuclei have been proposed to lie in, or at the boundary of the region where the seniority scheme should persist. However, contributions from collective excitations are likely to be present when moving away from the N=126 closed shell. Such an effect is confirmed by the observed increased collectivity of the $2^{+}_{1}\rightarrow 0^{+}_{1}$ transitions. Experimental results have been interpreted with the aid of theoretical studies carried out within the BCS-based QRP…

Medium-spin levels and the character of the 20.4 ns isomer in 145Gd

1982

Abstract Levels of the N = 81 nucleus 145Gd have been investigated by in-beam γ-ray and conversion electron spectroscopy with the 144Sm(3He, 2n) reaction. Fourteen new low- and medium-spin states between 1.0 and 2.4 MeV excitation, the known yrast levels up to spin 21 2 + , five other high-spin non-yrast states and a new 20.4 ns 13 2 isomer at 2200.2 keV in 145Gd have been observed. The isomer decays via a fast 927.3 keV E3 transition with B(E3) = 48 ± 7 W.u. Another weaker decay branch is a mixed, strongly hindered E1 + M2 + E3 transition to the v h −1 11 2 state. We propose an octupole v f 7 2 j −2 × 3 − main configuration for the isomer, analogous to the 997 keV 13 2 + isomer in 147Gd. T…

Proton Inelastic Scattering onNi56in Inverse Kinematics

1994

Inelastic proton scattering to the first excited ${2}^{+}$ state of the doubly magic $^{56}\mathrm{Ni}$ nucleus was investigated in inverse kinematics, using a secondary beam of radioactive $^{56}\mathrm{Ni}$ nuclei. At an incident energy of 101 MeV/nucleon, a value $B(E2,{0}^{+}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{2}^{+})=600\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}120 {e}^{2}$ ${\mathrm{fm}}^{4}$ was measured. This result completes the set of experimental data for the first excited ${2}^{+}$ states in the $1f\ensuremath{-}2p$ shell with a closed shell of neutrons or protons. These data are compared to recent shell-model calculations.

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…
