Design of mini-orange spectrometers and their application to nuclear structure studies

Thesis/Dissertation ·
OSTI ID:6959974
The design and properties of a mini-orange spectrometer for internal conversion experiments are described. The application of such a system to the study of the decay of Coulomb excited /sup 191,193/Ir nuclei is presented. Some E2/M1 mixing ratios of the transitions with mixed multipolarities are deduced. The experimental energy levels and reduced matrix elements of the excited /sup 191,193/Ir are compared with two model calculations, namely the particle-plus-triaxial rotor model and the interacting boson fermion model. A mini-orange spectrometer was also used to study the multipolarities of the decay of high spin continuum states in /sup 130/Ce.
