Spectroscopy of very neutron-deficient hafnium and tungsten isotopes

Abstract

This work has confirmed and extended the level scheme of {sup 164}W using the {sup 109} Ag({sup 58}Ni,p2n) reaction and identified for the first time levels in {sup 158}Hf (N=86) and {sup 162}W (N=88) using, respectively, {sup 107} Ag({sup 58}Ni,p2n){sup 162}W and {sup 107} Ag({sup 54}Fe,p2n){sup 158}Hf reactions. As a by-product, level schemes were also obtained for {sup 163}W and {sup 159}Hf, the latter being observed in two of the bombardments. The bulk of the measurements were carried out using 253 MeV,{sup 58}Ni and 233 MeV, {sup 54}Fe beams from the 88-inch cyclotron (in combination with the ECR source) at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. Gamma-rays were observed in the 21-detector array, HERA. Additional measurements were carried out, and are still in progress at the ANU, 14 UD Pelletron facility. The alignment gain in the yrast band of {sup 162}W is proposed to be due to the h{sup 2}{sub 9/2} neutrons consistent in frequency and alignment with the CSM calculations. No regularity is discernible in the side-band sequences, assumed to be of negative parity, in either {sup 162}W or {sup 158}Hf, but further analysis is necessary to confirm the spin assignments. 12 refs., 7 figs.
