Title: Long-lived isomeric states and quasiparticle band structures in neutron-rich ^162,164Gd nuclei from β decay

Abstract

Neutron-rich nuclei ^162,164Eu were produced by bombarding a proton beam on a²³⁸U target at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and mass separating the ^162,164Eu products. New level schemes and new γ-ray transitions of the daughters ^162,164Gd were identified from β-decay spectroscopy studies. Additionally, half-lives of the ^162,164Eu were remeasured to clarify the previous ambiguous results. Two quasiparticle band structures were built and compared with neighboring nuclei. The β and γ bands were extended in ¹⁶²Gd and a γ band was extended in ¹⁶⁴Gd. Half-lives of the isomeric states at (6^-) 1449 keV in ¹⁶²Gd and (4^-) 1096 keV in ¹⁶⁴Gd were measured to be 99(3) μs and 0.56(3) μs, respectively. Projected shell model calculations were performed and found to be in good agreement with all of the experimental data.

Decay spectroscopy of ¹⁶⁰Eu: Quasiparticle configurations of excited states and structure of K^π = 4⁺ bandheads in ¹⁶⁰Gd

Journal Article Yates, Daniel ; Krücken, Reiner ; Dillmann, Iris ; ... - Physical Review. C

Background: Detailed spectroscopy of neutron-rich, heavy, deformed nuclei is of broad interest for nuclear astrophysics and nuclear structure. Nuclei in the r-process path and following freeze-out region impact the resulting r-process abundance distribution, and the structure of nuclei midshell in both proton and neutron number helps to understand the evolution of subshell gaps and large deformation in these nuclei. Purpose: We aim to improve the understanding of the nuclear structure of ¹⁶⁰Gd, specifically the K^π = 4⁺ bands, as well as study the β decay of ¹⁶⁰Eu into ¹⁶⁰Gd. Methods: High-statistics decay spectroscopy of ¹⁶⁰Gd resulting from the β-decay ofmore »« less

Complete β-decay patterns of ¹⁴²Cs,¹⁴²Ba, and ¹⁴²La determined using total absorption spectroscopy

Journal Article Wolinska-Cichocka, Marzena ; Rasco, B. Charlie ; Rykaczewski, Krzysztof P. ; ... - Physical Review. C

Background: The β decays of fission products produced in nuclear fuel are important for nuclear energy applications and fundamental science of reactor antineutrinos. In particular, nuclear reactor safety is related to the decay modes of radioactive neutron-rich nuclei, primarily via the emission of γ rays, neutrons, and electrons. Additionally nuclear reactors are the most powerful man-made source of antineutrinos emitted during the β decay of fission products. These antineutrinos are used to inspect fundamental properties of leptons as well as informing reactor operation. However, the majority of data on complex decays of fission products collected in the evaluated nuclear data repositories like Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data File (ENSDF) and Evaluated Nuclear Data Files (ENDF) are based on low-efficiency and often incomplete measurements resulting in questionable reference reactor antineutrino flux predictions, see the analysis by [Nichols, J. Nucl. Sci. Technol. 52, 17 (2015)]. Various assessments like the one done under the auspices of the [Yoshida et al., Assessment of Fission Product Decay Data for Decay Heat Calculations: A report by the Working Party on International Evaluation Co-operation of the Nuclear Energy Agency Nuclear Science Committee (Nuclear Energy Agency, Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, Paris, France, 2007), Vol. 25], as well as by [Sonzogni, Johnson, and McCutchan, Phys. Rev. C 91, 011301(R) (2015)] and [Dwyer and Langford, Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 012502 (2015)], list the A = 142 isobars with high cumulative fission yield among the important nuclei where data for reactor decay heat and/or antineutrino production should be verified and/or improved. Purpose: Here, our goal is to improve the quality of β -decay measurements and evaluate the impact of modified decay schemes on reactor decay heat and antineutrino energy spectra, for fission products along the A = 142 isobaric chain. This work is an in depth follow-up on [Rasco et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 117, 092501 (2016)]. which presented briefly the impact of the corrected decay scheme of ¹⁴²Cs . Here, we extend the data to full isobaric decay chain including the daughter nuclei, ¹⁴²Ba and ¹⁴²La, and present more details on the ¹⁴²Cs results. Method: The decays of neutron-rich isobars of mass A = 142 produced by means of proton-induced fission of 238 U were measured using the Modular Total Absorption Spectrometer (MTAS) array on-line at the mass separator and Tandem accelerator at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Results: The β -decay schemes for ¹⁴²Cs and ¹⁴² La were modified with respect to the nuclear data repositories. A small β-delayed neutron branching ratio for ¹⁴²Cs emitter was remeasured asmore »« less
