Abstract

The nuclear states in {sup 23}F have been investigated following the {beta} decay of {sup 23}O. The measurement of {sup 23}O was carried out at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory using fragments from the reaction of a {sup 48}Ca beam in a Be target. The half-life and total neutron emission probability were determined to be 97(8) ms and 7(2)%, respectively, for {sup 23}O {beta} decay. Ten {gamma}-ray decays in {sup 23}F and a single {gamma}-ray in {sup 22}F were observed to establish the {beta} decay scheme for {sup 23}O. Shell model calculations are in reasonable agreement with the measured {beta} branching and B(GT) values for the lowest energy state. The excitation energies of the first 1/2{sup +} and 3/2{sup +} states have been determined to be 2243(8) and 4066(16) keV, respectively, indicating a widening of the 5/2{sup +}-1/2{sup +} state gap in {sup 23}F. The decay scheme of the largest contaminant {sup 26}Ne in the experiment was established.

States in {sup 22}O via beta decay of {sup 22}N

Journal Article Sumithrarachchi, C. S. ; Morrissey, D. J. ; Davies, D. A. ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

The energy-level structure of {sup 22}O with the recently identified N=14 subshell closure was investigated by the beta decay of {sup 22}N for the first time. A beta-delayed-neutron, time-of-flight measurement revealed six new neutron transitions attributed to the beta decay of {sup 22}N. One- and two-beta-delayed neutron decay of {sup 22}N, with emission probabilities of 33(3)% and 12(3)%, respectively, were observed to correspond to four new negative-parity states in {sup 22}O. The half-life of {sup 22}N beta decay was determined to be 20(2) ms. Three gamma-ray transitions in {sup 22}O and single gamma rays in {sup 21}O and {sup 20}Omore »« less

Investigation of structure in {sup 23}Al via resonant proton scattering of {sup 22}Mg+p and the {sup 22}Mg(p,{gamma}) {sup 23}Al astrophysical reaction rate

Journal Article He, J. J. ; Kubono, S. ; Teranishi, T. ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

Proton resonant states in {sup 23}Al have been investigated for the first time by the resonant elastic and inelastic scattering of {sup 22}Mg+p with a {sup 22}Mg beam at 4.38 MeV/nucleon bombarding a thick (CH{sub 2}){sub n} target. The low-energy {sup 22}Mg beam was separated by the CNS radioactive ion beam separator (CRIB). The energy spectra of recoiled protons were measured at average scattering angles of {theta}{sub lab}{approx_equal} 4 deg., 17 deg. and 23 deg. A new state has been observed at E{sub x}=3.00 MeV with a spin-parity assignment of (3/2{sup +}). In addition, resonant inelastic scattering has populated threemore »« less

Simultaneous measurement of the {sup 18}F(p,p){sup 18}F and {sup 18}F(p,{alpha}){sup 15}O reactions: Implications for the level structure of {sup 19}Ne, and for {sup 18}F production in novae

Journal Article Murphy, A. St. J. ; Davinson, T. ; Laird, A. M. ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

The largest nuclear physics uncertainty in studies of gamma-ray emission from novae arises from the {sup 18}F(p,{alpha}){sup 15}O reaction rate that affects the abundance of {sup 18}F. Direct measurements have been made of the {sup 18}F(p,p){sup 18}F and {sup 18}F(p,{alpha}){sup 15}O reaction differential cross sections in the energy range 0.6{<=}E{sub c.m.}{<=}1.6 MeV. Several resonances have been observed in both measurements, with simultaneous R-matrix fits used to determine the properties of corresponding states in {sup 19}Ne. A recently reported state at 7.420 MeV is not seen, while new states are seen including one of J{sup {pi}}=(3/2){sup +}. A candidate for amore »« less

{beta} decay of proton-rich nucleus {sup 23}Al and astrophysical consequences

Journal Article Iacob, V. E. ; Zhai, Y. ; Al-Abdullah, T. ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

We present the first study of the {beta} decay of {sup 23}Al undertaken with pure samples. The study was motivated by nuclear astrophysics questions. Pure samples of {sup 23}Al were obtained from the momentum achromat recoil separator (MARS) of Texas A and M University, collected on a fast tape-transport system, and moved to a shielded location where {beta} and {beta}-{gamma} coincidence measurements were made. We deduced {beta} branching ratios and log ft values for transitions to states in {sup 23}Mg, and from them determined unambiguously the spin and parity of the {sup 23}Al ground state to be J{sup {pi}}=5/2{sup +}.more »« less
