In-beam study of high-spin states in199,200,201Po and systematical features of Z=84 polonium isotopes
1985
Excited states in199,200,201Po were populated in the reactions12C+194Pt and12C+195Pt. The subsequentγ-radiation was studied using conventional in-beam spectroscopic methods. States with spins up to (29/2), 18 and ≧35/2ħ, respectively, were populated in the three nuclides. Three isomeric states with the following half-lives were observed in200Po:T1/2(8+)=90(15) ns,T1/2(11−)=120(20) ns andT1/2(12+)=267(4) ns. The structure of the excited states was interpreted within the framework of the spherical shell model. The three isomers are suggested to be two-quasiparticle states with configurationsπ(h22)8J, π(h9i13/2)11- and v(i1 3/2−2)12+. A self-consistent Hartree-Fock calculation was performed to…
Evidence for isovector neutron-proton pairing from high-spin states inN=Z74Rb
2003
High-spin states in the odd-odd N=Z nucleus Rb-74(37)37 were studied using the Ca-40(Ca-40,alphanp) reaction. A previously observed odd-spin T=0 band has been extended to I-pi=(31(+)) and an even-spin T=0 band has been observed for the first time to I-pi=(22(+)); both have a pi(g(9/2))circle timesnu(g(9/2)) structure. A strongly coupled low-spin T=0,K=3 band has been interpreted as being based upon a pi[312]3/2 circle timesnu[312]3/2 configuration. Cranked relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov calculations, which are corrected for the t=1 np-pair field by restoring isospin symmetry, reproduce the observed spectrum. These new results provide evidence for the existence of an isovector pair field th…
Amplitude analysis of the decayD0→K−K+π0
2007
Using 385 fb^-1 of e^+e^- collisions at the CM energies of around 10.6 GeV recorded by the BaBar experiment, we study the amplitudes of the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decay D^0 --> K^- K^+ pi^0. We measure the strong phase difference between the D0bar and D0 decays to the K^*(892)^+ K^- state to be -35.5 +/- 1.9 (stat) +/- 2.2 (syst) degrees, and their amplitude ratio to be 0.599 +/- 0.013 (stat) +/- 0.011 (syst). We observe significant contributions from the Kpi and K^-K^+ scalar and vector amplitudes, and analyze the moments of the cosine of the helicity angle in these systems. We find no evidence for charged, scalar kappa(800) state, nor for higher spin states. We also perform a model-ind…
High-spin states beyond the proton drip-line: Quasiparticle alignments in 113 Cs
2014
Abstract Excited states have been studied in the deformed proton emitter 113Cs. Gamma-ray transitions have been unambiguously assigned to 113Cs by correlation with its characteristic proton decay, using the method of recoil-decay tagging. Two previously identified rotational bands have been observed and extended to tentative spins of 45/2 and 51 / 2 ħ , with excitation energies over 8 MeV above the lowest state. These are the highest angular momenta and excitation energies observed to date in any nucleus beyond the proton drip-line. Transitions in the bands have been rearranged compared to previous work. A study of aligned angular momenta, in comparison to the predictions of Woods–Saxon cra…
High spin states of120Ba
1991
The very neutron deficient nucleus120Ba has been investigated in a high-spin γ-spectroscopic study. The yrast band of120Ba is extended up to spin 22ħ and one tentatively assigned negative-parity side band is observed up to spin 15ħ. The experimental results are compared with Total Routhian Surface calculations.
High-spin states of $^{218}$Th
2020
Abstract High-spin states in the N = 128 nucleus 218Th have been investigated following fusion–evaporation reactions, using the recoil-decay tagging technique. Due to the short-lived nature of the ground state of 218Th prompt γ rays have been correlated with the α decay of the daughter nucleus 214Ra. The level scheme representing the decay of excited states has been extended to (16+) with the observation of six previously unreported transitions. The observations are compared with the results of shell model calculations and within the context of the systematics of neighbouring nuclei.
Structure of high-spin states in Pd
2001
High-spin states of the neutron deficient (100)pd nucleus have been investigated via the Cr-50(Ni-58, 4p alpha) and Zn-70(S-36,6n) heavy-ion induced reactions. For the detection of evaporated particles and gamma rays the NORDBALL array equipped with ancillary detectors and the EUROGAM II detector system were utilized. By the use of in-beam spectroscopic methods 89 transitions belonging to (100)pd have been observed, 49 of which were identified for the first time. The level scheme has been extended up to E-X approximate to 16 MeV excitation energy and I approximate to 25h. The experimental results were compared with the predictions of cranked shell model calculations. Maximal spin alignments…

1991
The high-spin structure of 121Ba has been investigated by in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopic techniques. Rotational bands based on the h11/2, g7/2 and tentatively d5/2 quasineutron configurations have ...
Discrete lineγ-ray spectroscopy in the(50–60)ħspin domain of161,162Er
2000
Very high spin states $(I=50--60\ensuremath{\Elzxh})$ have been observed in the transitional nuclei ${}^{161}\mathrm{Er}$ and ${}^{162}\mathrm{Er}$ using the Euroball $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-ray spectrometer. In ${}^{161}\mathrm{Er},$ three bands are observed well above spin $50\ensuremath{\Elzxh}.$ In the positive parity, positive signature $(+,+\frac{1}{2})$ band a discontinuity in the regular rotational behavior occurs at ${\frac{109}{2}}^{+}$ and a splitting into two branches occurs at ${\frac{97}{2}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ in the negative parity, positive signature $(\ensuremath{-},+\frac{1}{2})$ band. The $(\ensuremath{-},\ensuremath{-}\frac{1}{2})$ band continues in a regular fashion to ${\…
Multipleβ−decaying states in194Re: Shape evolution in neutron-rich osmium isotopes
2012
decays from heavy, neutron-rich nuclei with A∼190 have been investigated following their production via the relativistic projectile fragmentation of an E/A=1 GeV 208Pb primary beam on a ∼2.5 g/cm2 9Be target. The reaction products were separated and identified using the GSI FRagment Separator (FRS) and stopped in the RISING active stopper. γ decays were observed and correlated with these secondary ions on an event-by-event basis such that γ-ray transitions following from both internal (isomeric) and β decays were recorded. A number of discrete, β-delayed γ-ray transitions associated with β decays from 194Re to excited states in 194Os have been observed, including previously reported decays …
