    This paper reports NMR measurements of the magnetic dipole moments of two high-K isomers, the 37/2^-, 51.4 m, 2740 keV state in 177^{\rm 177}Hf and the 8^-, 5.5 h, 1142 keV state in 180^{\rm 180}Hf by the method of on-line nuclear orientation. Also included are results on the angular distributions of gamma transitions in the decay of the 177^{\rm 177}Hf isotope. These yield high precision E2/M1 multipole mixing ratios for transitions in bands built on the 23/2+^+, 1.1 s, isomer at 1315 keV and on the 9/2+^+, 0.663 ns, isomer at 321 keV. The new results are discussed in the light of the recently reported finding of systematic dependence of the behavior of the gR_{\rm R} parameter upon the quasi-proton and quasi-neutron make up of high-K isomeric states in this region.Comment: 9 pages, 9 figures, accepted for publication in Physical Review

    In-beam spectroscopic studies of 44^{44}S nucleus

    The structure of the 44^{44}S nucleus has been studied at GANIL through the one proton knock-out reaction from a 45^{45}Cl secondary beam at 42 A\cdotMeV. The γ\gamma rays following the de-excitation of 44^{44}S were detected in flight using the 70 BaF2{_2} detectors of the Ch\^{a}teau de Cristal array. An exhaustive γγ\gamma\gamma-coincidence analysis allowed an unambiguous construction of the level scheme up to an excitation energy of 3301 keV. The existence of the spherical 22+^+_2 state is confirmed and three new γ\gamma-ray transitions connecting the prolate deformed 21+^+_1 level were observed. Comparison of the experimental results to shell model calculations further supports a prolate and spherical shape coexistence with a large mixing of states built on the ground state band in 44^{44}S.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures, accepted for publication in Physical Review

    First application of mass measurement with the Rare-RI Ring reveals the solar r-process abundance trend at A=122 and A=123

    The Rare-RI Ring (R3) is a recently commissioned cyclotron-like storage ring mass spectrometer dedicated to mass measurements of exotic nuclei far from stability at Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF) in RIKEN. The first application of mass measurement using the R3 mass spectrometer at RIBF is reported. Rare isotopes produced at RIBF, 127^{127}Sn, 126^{126}In, 125^{125}Cd, 124^{124}Ag, 123^{123}Pd, were injected in R3. Masses of 126^{126}In, 125^{125}Cd, and 123^{123}Pd were measured whereby the mass uncertainty of 123^{123}Pd was improved. This is the first reported measurement with a new storage ring mass spectrometery technique realized at a heavy-ion cyclotron and employing individual injection of the pre-identified rare nuclei. The latter is essential for the future mass measurements of the rarest isotopes produced at RIBF. The impact of the new 123^{123}Pd result on the solar rr-process abundances in a neutron star merger event is investigated by performing reaction network calculations of 20 trajectories with varying electron fraction YeY_e. It is found that the neutron capture cross section on 123^{123}Pd increases by a factor of 2.2 and β\beta-delayed neutron emission probability, P1nP_\mathrm{1n}, of 123^{123}Rh increases by 14\%. The neutron capture cross section on 122^{122}Pd decreases by a factor of 2.6 leading to pileup of material at A=122A=122, thus reproducing the trend of the solar rr-process abundances. The trend of the two-neutron separation energies (S2n_\mathrm{2n}) was investigated for the Pd isotopic chain. The new mass measurement with improved uncertainty excludes large changes of the S2n_\mathrm{2n} value at N=77N=77. Such large increase of the S2n_\mathrm{2n} values before N=82N=82 was proposed as an alternative to the quenching of the N=82N=82 shell gap to reproduce rr-process abundances in the mass region of A=112124A=112-124

    Spectroscopic factor and proton formation probability for the d3/2 proton emitter 151mLu

    Get PDF
    The quenching of the experimental spectroscopic factor for proton emission from the short-lived d3/2 isomeric state in 151mLu was a long-standing problem. In the present work, proton emission from this isomer has been reinvestigated in an experiment at the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyväskylä. The proton-decay energy and half-life of this isomer were measured to be 1295(5) keV and 15.4(8) μs, respectively, in agreement with another recent study. These new experimental data can resolve the discrepancy in the spectroscopic factor calculated using the spherical WKB approximation. Using the R-matrix approach it is found that the proton formation probability indicates no significant hindrance for the proton decay of 151mLu

    无论是一百多年前美国经历的“镀金时代”,还是中国现在的“GDP时代”,两国在迎来经济腾飞的同时,也面临着前所未有的社会问题与矛盾。不同的政治、经济、文化体制,为何有着相似的社会转型?究其根本:在财富积累过程中,人们的观念以物质利益为重,适合于新社会的道德观念,社会制度没有建立,一部分人私欲无法得到抑制,因此产生坑蒙拐骗、贪污腐化等“粪”、“黑”现象,需要被“扒”和被“揭”。本文以拉斯韦尔的5W模式作为维度对先后发生在两国的“扒粪运动”和“揭黑运动”进行对比研究,试图了解二者的异同,并尝试探讨在中国现有的传播体制下,媒体应如何形成与国家、社会的良性互动,传递负责人的批判的声音,维系民主与法制。 ...During both Gilded Age the United States experienced a hundred years ago, and GDP Era China is now experiencing, two countries ushered in the rapid economic growth, but also faced with unprecedented social problems and contradictions. Controlled by different political, economic and cultural system, why do we have a similar social transformation?

    Fast-timing measurements in neutron-rich odd-mass zirconium isotopes using LaBr3:Ce detectors coupled with Gammasphere

    A fast-timing experiment was performed at the Argonne National Laboratory to measure the lifetimes of the lowest lying states of nuclei belonging to the deformed regions around mass number A 110 and A 150. These regions were populated via spontaneous fission of 252 Cf and the gamma radiation following the decay of excited states in the fission fragments was measured using 51 Gammasphere detectors coupled with 25 LaBr 3 :Ce detectors. A brief description of the acquisition system and some preliminary results from the fast-timing analysis of the fission fragment 100Zr are presented. The lifetime value of \u3c4 = 840(65) ps was found for the 2 + state in 100 Zr consistent within one standard deviation of the adopted value with 791 +26 -35 ps. This is associated with a quadrupole deformation parameter of 0.36(2) which is within one standard deviation of the literature value of 0.3556 +82 -57
