Nuclear spins, magnetic moments, and quadrupole moments of Cu isotopes fromN=28toN=46: Probes for core polarization effects
2010
Measurements of the ground-state nuclear spins and magnetic and quadrupole moments of the copper isotopes from $^{61}\mathrm{Cu}$ up to $^{75}\mathrm{Cu}$ are reported. The experiments were performed at the CERN online isotope mass separator (ISOLDE) facility, using the technique of collinear laser spectroscopy. The trend in the magnetic moments between the $N=28$ and $N=50$ shell closures is reasonably reproduced by large-scale shell-model calculations starting from a $^{56}\mathrm{Ni}$ core. The quadrupole moments reveal a strong polarization of the underlying Ni core when the neutron shell is opened, which is, however, strongly reduced at $N=40$ due to the parity change between the $\mat…
Stable triaxiality at the highest spins in138Ndand139Nd
1999
The nuclei ${}^{138}\mathrm{Nd}$ and ${}^{139}\mathrm{Nd}$ have been studied at very high spins via the ${}^{48}\mathrm{Ca}{+}^{94}\mathrm{Zr}$ reaction. Several new rotational bands were observed, four in ${}^{138}\mathrm{Nd}$ and two in ${}^{139}\mathrm{Nd}.$ The ${J}^{(2)}$ moments of inertia calculated from the observed $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-ray energies are very small and almost constant, indicating that these bands are triaxial. Cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations reproduce the general behavior of the bands, supporting this interpretation and suggesting an approximately constant $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ value of $\ensuremath{\sim}+35\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}$ over a large s…
SEMICLASSICAL DESCRIPTION OF SPIN EXCITATIONS OF THE PARTICLE-CORE INTERACTION SYSTEM
1993
A model Hamiltonian describing a nucleon moving in a shifted oscillator well and inter-acting with a harmonic core through a quadrupole-quadrupole term is semiclassically treated. The solutions of the linearised equations of motion are quantised by the Bohr-Sommerfeld procedure. Among the four RPA modes, there is one which corresponds to the harmonic vibration of the spin degree of freedom. This mode is analogous to the spin wave mode describing a system of interacting spins placed in a magnetic field. The state describes a harmonic wobbling motion around a stationary state belonging to the ground rotational band.
Nuclear spins, moments, and changes of the mean square charge radii of sup.(140-153)Eu
1985
The hyperfine structures and isotope shifts of 14 isotopes of Eu (Z=63) in the mass range 140≦A≦153, partly with isomeric states, have been measured in the atomic transitions at 4,594 A and 4,627 A, using the technique of collinear fast-beam laser spectroscopy at the ISOLDE facility at CERN. The nuclear spins, the magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments, and the changes in the mean square charge radii have been evaluated. These nuclear parameters clearly reflect the effects of theN=82 neutron-shell closure in the single-proton hole states with respect to the semi-magic gadolinium (Z=64), and theN=88−90 shape transition.

Collectivity of neutron-rich magnesium isotopes investigated by projected shell model calculations
2013
The abnormally large collectivity of neutron-rich magnesium isotopes in the “island of inversion” has not been well understood. It has been commented that the unexpectedly large deformations observed in the magnesium isotopes are attributed to the neutron f7/2 intruder orbits involved remarkably even in the ground states, which points to nuclear force directly. Recently, a new isospin-dependent Nilsson potential was suggested to improve the calculations of the ground states of magnesium isotopes. With the improved Nilsson potential, in the present work we investigate the collectivity of excited states by using the projected shell model. To avoid the collapse of the BCS pairing, which occurs…
Moments and Radii of 78–100Sr
1988
The chain of Sr isotopes ranges from the neutron-shell closure at N = 50 into both the N = 38 and N = 60 deformation regions which represent the main topic of this workshop. For a detailed understanding of the nature of these nuclei, laser spectroscopy can provide the ground state spins and moments, as well as the the changes in the mean square charge radii as a function of the neutron number N. Recent experiments at Karlsruhe [1] and at Daresbury [2] essentially cover the neutron-deficient and stable Sr isotopes between N = 40 and N = 50. In order to complement these results, and to extend the measurements into the region of neutron-rich isotopes, we have performed an experiment at the ISO…
Nuclear ground state properties: Recent results and prospects at isolde
1985
The application of lasers to nuclear physics is an extremely lively and Interesting area of research in physics. In the few years that have passed since its development, a large number of beautiful experiments have been performed. Most of the experiments have been performed at ISOLDE. For the next years, optical spectroscopy will continue to play a key role for a determination of spins, moments and charge radll of nuclear ground or isomeric states.
Structure of the neutron-rich nucleus 37 94 rb57
1989
A level scheme has been established for 37 94 Rb57 based on studies at the fission-product separator JOSEF ofγγ coincidences following theβ- decay of94Kr. For the 190.7 keV level a half-life of 2.5(8) ns has been determined through the centroid-shift method. The majorβ-decay branch of94Kr proceeds with log ft=3.7 into the 988.4 keV state in94Rb. This transition must be of the 0+→1+ GT type involving the transitionνg7/2→πg9/2. IBFFM calculations have been performed for94Rb, starting from the parametrization used in the previous IBM investigations for the isotope93Rb and the isotone96Y. A theoretical interpretation of the low-lying levels including propositions for the spins is given in a com…
Influence of fusion barrier distributions on spin populations
2003
Abstract Heavy-ion fusion barrier distributions are now routinely obtained directly from experimental data. By measuring the total γ -ray multiplicity for the 58 Ni + 60 Ni system, which has a striking yet well understood barrier distribution, we show that some evidence of the barrier structures is present in the derived spin populations. In particular, very high spins can be populated at energies rather close to (and even below) the ‘nominal’ Coulomb barrier.
