Toward complete spectroscopy using decay: The example of
Abstract
$$^{32}\textbf{Cl}$$ is a neutron-deficient isotope with a $$β$$-decay half-life of 298 ms and a spin and parity of $J^π=1^+$. Previous measurements of $$^{32}\textbf{Cl}$$ $$β$$-delayed $$γ$$ rays have yielded a $$β$$-decay scheme with twelve $$β$$-decay transitions, contributing to studies of nuclear structure and fundamental symmetries. Those experiments have been limited to the observation of $$^{32}\textbf{S}$$ states with $J^π = 0^+,1^+, 2^+$. Our goal is to search for new $$β$$-delayed $$γ$$ rays and $$β$$-decay transitions of $$^{32}\textbf{Cl}$$ to $$^{32}\textbf{S}$$. A measurement of $$^{32}\textbf{Cl}$$ $$β$$-delayed $$γ$$ decay has been performed using the Clovershare array of high-purity germanium detectors at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. By acquiring the highest-statistics $$^{32}\textbf{Cl}$$ $$β$$-delayed $$γ$$-ray spectrum to date and exploiting a new sensitivity to $γ-γ$ coincidences, this experiment has enabled the observation of nine previously unobserved $$β$$-delayed $$γ$$-ray transitions, leading to the inference of five $$β$$-decay transitions never before observed in $$^{32}\textbf{Cl}$$ $$β$$-delayed $$γ$$ decay. The set of observed states includes negative-parity states for the first time. By combining the new information with data from previous work, the lifetimes and partial widths of the 8861- and 9650-keV states of $$^{32}\textbf{S}$$ have been determined. In addition, the $$^{31}\textbf{P}$$($$p,α$$)$$^{28}\textbf{Si}$$ resonance strength of the 9650-keV state has been limited tomore »

abstractNote = {$^{32}\textbf{Cl}$ is a neutron-deficient isotope with a $β$-decay half-life of 298 ms and a spin and parity of $J^π=1^+$. Previous measurements of $^{32}\textbf{Cl}$ $β$-delayed $γ$ rays have yielded a $β$-decay scheme with twelve $β$-decay transitions, contributing to studies of nuclear structure and fundamental symmetries. Those experiments have been limited to the observation of $^{32}\textbf{S}$ states with $J^π = 0^+,1^+, 2^+$. Our goal is to search for new $β$-delayed $γ$ rays and $β$-decay transitions of $^{32}\textbf{Cl}$ to $^{32}\textbf{S}$. A measurement of $^{32}\textbf{Cl}$ $β$-delayed $γ$ decay has been performed using the Clovershare array of high-purity germanium detectors at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. By acquiring the highest-statistics $^{32}\textbf{Cl}$ $β$-delayed $γ$-ray spectrum to date and exploiting a new sensitivity to $γ-γ$ coincidences, this experiment has enabled the observation of nine previously unobserved $β$-delayed $γ$-ray transitions, leading to the inference of five $β$-decay transitions never before observed in $^{32}\textbf{Cl}$ $β$-delayed $γ$ decay. The set of observed states includes negative-parity states for the first time. By combining the new information with data from previous work, the lifetimes and partial widths of the 8861- and 9650-keV states of $^{32}\textbf{S}$ have been determined. In addition, the $^{31}\textbf{P}$($p,α$)$^{28}\textbf{Si}$ resonance strength of the 9650-keV state has been limited to $ωγ<9.8$ meV, which is an improvement over direct measurements. An enhanced decay scheme has been constructed. Most of the excited bound $^{32}\textbf{S}$ states that would correspond to allowed and first-forbidden $β$-decay transitions have been observed, demonstrating the potential of $β$-decay experiments to approach complete spectroscopy measurements at the next generation of radioactive beam facilities. The observed positive-parity levels are well matched by $sd$ shell-model calculations.},
