High-spin structures of 88Kr and 89Rb: Evolution from collective to single-particle behaviors
The high-spin states of the two neutron-rich nuclei, 88Kr and 89R have been
studied from the 18O + 208Pb fusion-fission reaction. Their level schemes were
built from triple gamma-ray coincidence data and gamma-gamma angular
correlations were analyzed in order to assign spin and parity values to most of
the observed states. The two levels schemes evolve from collective structures
to single-particle excitations as a function of the excitation energy.
Comparison with results of shell-model calculations gives the specific proton
and neutron configurations which are involved to generate the angular momentum
along the yrast lines.Comment: 12 pages, 9 figures, Physical Review C (2013) in pres
High-spin structures of 136Cs
Odd-odd 136Cs nuclei have been produced in the 18O + 208Pb and 12C + 238U
fusion-fission reactions and their gamma rays studied with the Euroball array.
The high-spin level scheme has been built up to ~ 4.7 MeV excitation energy and
spin I ~ 16 hbar from the triple gamma-ray coincidence data. The configurations
of the three structures observed above ~ 2 MeV excitation energy are first
discussed by analogy with the proton excitations identified in the semi-magic
137Cs nucleus, which involve the three high-j orbits lying above the Z=50 gap,
pi g_{7/2}, pi d_{5/2} and pi h_{11/2}. This is confirmed by the results of
shell-model calculations performed in this work.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, 3 table
Large Deformation Effects in the N = Z 44Ti Compound Nucleus
The N = Z 44Ti* nucleus has been populated in Fusion Evaporation process at
very high excitation energies and angular momenta using two entrance channels
with different mass-asymmetry. The deformation effects in the rapidly rotating
nuclei have been investigated through the energy distribution of the
alpha-particle combined to statistical-model calculations. In the case of
low-multiplicity events, the ratio between first particle emitted has been
measured and shows significant disagreement with the predictions of the
statistical-model. This may explain The large discrepancies observed in proton
energy spectra measured in previous experiments performed in the same mass
region.Comment: Proceeding of the 10th International Conference on Nuclear Reaction

High-spin states with seniority v=4,4,6 in 119-126Sn
The 119-126Sn nuclei have been produced as fission fragments in two reactions
induced by heavy ions: 12C+238U at 90 MeV bombarding energy, 18O+208Pb at 85
MeV. Their level schemes have been built from gamma rays detected using the
Euroball array. High-spin states located above the long-lived isomeric states
of the even- and odd-A 120-126Sn nuclei have been identified. Moreover isomeric
states lying around 4.5 MeV have been established in 120,122,124,126Sn from the
delayed coincidences between the fission fragment detector SAPhIR and the
Euroball array. The states located above 3-MeV excitation energy are ascribed
to several broken pairs of neutrons occupying the nu h11/2 orbit. The maximum
value of angular momentum available in such a high-j shell, i.e. for
mid-occupation and the breaking of the three neutron pairs, has been
identified. This process is observed for the first time in spherical nuclei.Comment: 20 pages, 22 figures, 12 tables, accepted for publication in Physical

Observation of the lowest energy gamma-ray in any superdeformed nucleus : 196Bi
New results on the superdeformed Bi nucleus a re reported. We have
observed with the EUROBALL IV -ray spectrometer array a superdeformed
trans ition of 124 keV which is the lowest observed energy -ray in any
superdeformed nucleus. We have de velopped microscopic cranked
Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculations using the SLy4 effective force and a
realistic surface p airing which strongly support the
([651]1/2[752]5/2) assignment of this su
perdeformed band
Search for Fingerprints of Tetrahedral Symmetry in
Theoretical predictions suggest the presence of tetrahedral symmetry as an
explanation for the vanishing intra-band E2-transitions at the bottom of the
odd-spin negative parity band in . The present study reports on
experiment performed to address this phenomenon. It allowed to determine the
intra-band E2 transitions and branching ratios B(E2)/B(E1) of two of the
negative-parity bands in .Comment: presented by Q.T. Doan at XLII Zakopane School of Physics: Breaking

Medium-spin states in neutron-rich 83As and 81As
The 83,81 As nuclei have been produced as fission fragments in the fusion reaction 18Oâ+â208Pb at 85 MeV bombarding energy and studied with the Euroball array. Medium-spin states of 83,81 As have been established up to âŒ3.5 MeV excitation energy. From angular correlation analysis, spin values have been assigned to most of the 81 As excited states. The behaviors of the yrast structures identified in this work are discussed in comparison with the general features known in the mass region. Then they are compared to the results of two theoretical approaches: the "rotor + quasiparticle" for 81 As and the shell model using the effective interactions JUN45 for 83,81 As

New high-spin states of Ce and Ba from fusion-fission reactions: Proton excitations in the N = 84 isotones
High-spin states in the Ce and Ba nuclei have been populated in the C + U and O + Pb fusion-fission reactions at 90 MeV and 85 MeV bombarding energy, respectively. The emitted -radiation was detected using the Euroball III and IV arrays. The high-spin yrast and near-to-yrast structures of Ce have been considerably extended. The level scheme of Ba has been extended by six new levels. The newly observed structures in these N = 84 isotones are discussed by analogy with the neighbouring nuclei
