The GALILEO γ-ray array at the Legnaro National Laboratories
2021
Abstract GALILEO, a new 4 π high-resolution γ -detection array, based on HPGe detectors, has been developed and installed at the Legnaro National Laboratories. The GALILEO array greatly benefits from a fully-digital read-out chain, customized DAQ, and a variety of complementary detectors to improve the resolving power by the detection of particles, ions or high-energy γ -ray transitions. In this work, a full description of the array, including electronics and DAQ, is presented together with its complementary instrumentation.
In-beam spectroscopic studies of shape coexistence and collectivity in the neutron-deficientZ≈ 82 nuclei
2016
In the present paper we focus on studies of shape coexistence in even-mass nuclei in the neutron-deficient Pb region. They are based on experiments carried out using tagging techniques in the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyväskylä, Finland. Excited states in many of these nuclei can only be accessed via fusion-evaporation reactions employing high-intensity stable-ion beams. The key features in these experiments are high selectivity, clean spectra and instrumentation that enables high count rates. We review three spectroscopic highlights in this region. peerReviewed
Spectroscopy of [sub 199,201]At
2015
The excited states of 199At and 201At were studied using fusion evaporation reactions, a gas-filled recoil separator and various tagging methods. The level scheme of 201At was extended a lot including a cascade of magnetic dipole transitions, that is suggested to form a shears band. In addition, a 29/2+ [T1/2 = 3.39(9) s] isomeric state was observed. The 29/2+ state is suggested to originate from the p(h9/2) j200Po; 11i configuration, and it depopulates through 269-keV E2 and 339-keV E3 transitions. In both nuclei 199,201At we have observed also the isomeric 1/2+ [T1/2 = 273(9), 45(3) ms, respectively] intruder state, that is suggested to originate from the p(s1/2)1 configuration. The 1…
In-beam γ-ray spectroscopy of low- and medium-spin levels in 211Po
2017
The structure of the low- and medium-spin levels of the 211Po nucleus have been studied with in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy with the 208Pb(α,n)211Po fusion-evaporation reaction. The level scheme was further extended with levels of the configurations π(h9/2)22+−4+⊗νg9/2, π(h9/2)28+⊗νg9/2, π(h9/2)22+−4+⊗νi11/2, π(h9/2)22+−4+⊗νj15/2, π(h9/2f7/2)8+⊗νg9/2, and π(h9/2)20+⊗ν(g9/2)20+(s1/2)−1. The single-particle neutron states νd5/2 and νs1/2 were also identified. Furthermore, a number of states feeding the low-spin structures were added. peerReviewed
