Title: From Q-value measurements to mass and structure of proton-rich nuclei in the tin region

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6042973

For testing shell model predictions of very neutron-deficient nuclei it is important to study the doubly magic nucleus, /sup 100//sub 50/Sn/sub 50/, and its closest neighbors. This paper presents the results of recent experiments which studied the magic nuclei: Z = 50 isotopes and N = 50 isotones; in the vicinity of this doubly magic nucleus. This is a continuation of earlier nuclear-spectroscopy studies carried out at GSI and in Munich. For the lightest nuclei in this region, the experiments concentrated on determining the basic decay properties such as the determination of the decay energies Q and half-lives. The data on Q values can be combined with those from other studies to yield masses of nuclides far from stability. For example, the identification and preliminary study of the new isotope /sup 104/Sn has allowed the masses of nuclei beyond the proton-drip line to be estimated. Nuclear-structure information is derived from both the mass difference data (the Z = 50 proton-shell strength) and from the analysis of fast Gamow-Teller ..beta..-transitions. The experiments were performed using /sup 40/Ca, /sup 58/Ni, and /sup 16/O beams with the energy of approx. = 4, 5 and 9 MeV/u, respectively, obtained from the heavy-ion accelerator UNILAC. The reaction products were investigated with the GSI on-line mass separator. 23 references. (WHK)
