Measurements of evaporation residue cross-sections and evaporation residue-gated -ray fold distributions for S+Sm system
Evaporation Residue (ER) cross-sections and ER-gated -ray fold
distributions are measured for the S + Sm nuclear reaction above
the Coulomb barrier at six different beam energies from 148 to 191 MeV.
-ray multiplicities and spin distributions are extracted from the
ER-gated fold distributions. The ER cross-sections measured in the present work
are found to be much higher than what was reported in a previous work using a
very different target-projectile (Ti + Ba) combination, leading
to the same compound nucleus Pt, with much less mass asymmetry in the
entrance channel than the present reaction. This clearly demonstrates the
effect of the entrance channel on ER production cross-section. The ER
cross-sections measured in the present work are compared with the results of
both the statistical model calculations and the dynamical model calculations.
Statistical model calculations have been performed to generate a range of
parameter space for both the barrier height and Kramers' viscosity parameter
over which the ER cross-section data can be reproduced. The calculations
performed using the dinuclear system (DNS) model reproduce the data considering
both complete and incomplete fusion processes. DNS calculations indicate the
need for the inclusion of incomplete fusion channel at higher energies to
reproduce the ER cross-sections.Comment: 13 pages, 18 figure
High spin structure in
High spin states of 130,131Ba have been investigated via fusion evaporation reactions 122Sn(13C,4n)131Ba and 122Sn(13C, 5n)130Ba at MeV. The level schemes of 130,131Ba have been extended by placing several new transitions. A few interband transitions connecting two negative-parity bands, which are the experimental fingerprints of signature partners, have been established in 130Ba. Spin and parity of a side band have been assigned in 131Ba and this dipole band is proposed to have a three-quasiparticle configuration, . The observed band structures and nuclear shape evolution as a function of the angular momentum have been discussed in the light of Total-Routhian-Surface calculations
