Deformation of the N=Z nucleus 76Sr using beta-decay studies
A novel method of deducing the deformation of the N=Z nucleus 76Sr is
presented. It is based on the comparison of the experimental Gamow-Teller
strength distribution B(GT) from its beta decay with the results of QRPA
calculations. This method confirms previous indications of the strong prolate
deformation of this nucleus in a totally independent way. The measurement has
been carried out with a large Total Absorption gamma Spectrometer, "Lucrecia",
newly installed at CERN-ISOLDE.Comment: Accepted in Phys. Rev. Letter
Search for proton radioactivity in <SUP>65</SUP>As, <SUP>69</SUP>Br and <SUP>77</SUP>Y
A search for proton radioactivity in 65As, 69Br and 77Y, produced as residues of fusion reactions, was carried out at the Orsay Tandem accelerator. The residues were collected at the image point of the spectrometer Soleno and implanted into the gaseous medium of an ionization chamber which was also used to detect the radioactivity protons. No such protons have been observed in the energy range of 250–600 keV and in the half-life interval of 10 μs-100 ms, within a production cross section sensitivity of 1 μb.Facultad de Ciencias Exacta
Spectroscopy of by decay: sd-fp shell gap and single-particle states
The decays were studied at the CERN on-line mass separator ISOLDE by and measurements, in order to corroborate thelow-level description of and to obtain the first information on the level structure of the N=21 isotope . Earlier observed lines in decay were confirmed and new gamma transitions following both beta decay and -delayed neutron emission were established. The first level scheme in , including three excited states at 910, 974 and 2168 keV, is consistent with and for the first two states respectively. Beta-decay half-life of ms and beta-delayed neutron branching value were measured unambiguously. The significance of the single-particle energy determination at N=21, Z=14, for assessing the effective interaction in sd-fp shell-model calculations, is discussed and illustrated by predictions for different n-rich isotopes
Beta-decay in odd-A and even-even proton-rich Kr isotopes
Beta-decay properties of proton-rich odd-A and even-even Krypton isotopes are
studied in the framework of a deformed selfconsistent Hartree-Fock calculation
with density-dependent Skyrme forces, including pairing correlations between
like nucleons in BCS approximation. Residual spin-isospin interactions are
consistently included in the particle-hole and particle-particle channels and
treated in Quasiparticle Random Phase Approximation. The similarities and
differences in the treatment of even-even and odd-A nuclei are stressed.
Comparison to available experimental information is done for Gamow-Teller
strength distributions, summed strengths, and half-lives. The dependence of
these observables on deformation is particularly emphasized in a search for
signatures of the shape of the parent nucleus.Comment: 29 pages, 16 figure
Shape study of the N = Z nucleus Kr-72 via beta decay
10 pags.; 11 figs.; 2 tabs.; PACS number(s): 23.40.Hc, 29.30.Kv, 27.50.+e, 21.10.Pc; Open Access funded by Creative Commons Atribution Licence 3.0The beta decay of the N = Z nucleus Kr-72 has been studied with the total absorption spectroscopy technique at ISOLDE (CERN). A total B(GT) = 0.79(4)g(A)(2)/4 pi has been found up to an excitation energy of 2.7 MeV. The B(GT) distribution obtained is compared with predictions from state-of-the-art theoretical calculations to learn about the ground state deformation of Kr-72. Although a dominant oblate deformation is suggested by direct comparison with quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA) calculations, beyond-mean-field and shell-model calculations favor a large oblate-prolate mixing in the ground state.
