Atomic mass measurements and nuclear spectroscopy at TRISTAN and nuclidic mass measurements at LAMPF. Progress report, February 1, 1983-September 30, 1984
The Clark University research program is concerned with the measurement of atomic masses and understanding the nuclear structures of isotopes far from the line of ..beta.. stability. This work is accomplished, primarily, by use of the TRISTAN on-line mass separator located at the High Flux Beam Reactor, Brookhaven National Laboratory, where investigations of short-lived fission products have been actively pursued for the past four years. In 1985 mass measurements of light isotopes produced by fragmentation reactions on heavy targets will begin using the TOFI (Time-of-Flight Isochronous) Spectrometer at the LAMPF accelerator, Los Alamos National Laboratory. Together, the two facilities are capable of providing complementary information, potentially of great value in understanding the sum total effect of all nuclear interactions in a given nucleus, which gives rise to the property known as the mass. The thrust of the spectroscopic studies at TRISTAN has been to develop a data base for neutron-rich, far-from-stability nuclides in order to provide a new testing ground for nuclear models. In particular, we have been active in pursuing microscopic and phenomenological understanding of nuclear structure in regions of shape transition near shell and subshell closures. Recent efforts have been concentrated on investigating the interplay of vibrational and rotation-like intruder state degrees of freedom as manifested, for example, in even Cd isotopes near the Z=50 shell. Such studies provide crucial tests of nuclear wave functions and model Hamiltonians.
