Abstract

A study of the β decay of the proton-rich T_z = –2 nucleus ⁵⁶Zn has been reported in a recent publication. A rare and exotic decay mode, β-de-layed γ-proton decay, has been observed there for the first time in the fp shell. Here, we expand on some of the details of the data analysis, focusing on the charged particle spectrum.

Beta Decay Study of the T{sub z}=−2{sup 56}Zn Nucleus and the Determination of the Half-Lives of a Few fp-shell Nuclei

Journal Article Rubio, B., E-mail: Berta.Rubio@ific.uv.es ; Orrigo, S. E.A. ; Kucuk, L. ; ... - Nuclear Data Sheets

This paper concerns the experimental study of the β decay properties of few proton-rich fp-shell nuclei. The nuclei were produced at GANIL in fragmentation reactions, separated with the LISE spectrometer and stopped in an implantation detector surrounded by Ge detectors. The β-delayed gammas, β-delayed protons and the exotic β-delayed gamma-proton emission have been studied. Preliminary results are presented. The decay of the T{sub z}=−2 nucleus {sup 56}Zn has been studied in detail. Information from the β-delayed protons and β-delayed gammas has been used to deduce the decay scheme. The exotic beta-delayed gamma-proton decay has been observed for the first timemore »« less

Direct observation of the exotic β – γ – α decay mode in the T z = – 1 nucleus Na 20

Journal Article Wang, Y. B. ; Su, J. ; Han, Z. Y. ; ... - Physical Review. C

The exotic β – γ – α decay mode of ²⁰Na has been directly observed for the first time in the Day-one experiment at the Beijing Radioactive Ion-beam Facility. The ²⁰Na source was produced by using a 100-MeV proton beam bombarding a stack of microporous MgO thick target and delivered as an intense mass separated beam after online ionization. A high-efficiency simultaneous measurement of β, γ, and α transitions enables the β-delayed γ – γ and α – γ coincidence spectroscopy. Here three β – γ – α exotic decay sequences in ²⁰Na are discovered, which expands the rare decaymore »« less

⁵⁷Zn β-delayed proton emission establishes the ⁵⁶Ni rp-process waiting point bypass

Journal Article Saxena, M. ; Ong, W. -J. ; Meisel, Z. ; ... - Physics Letters. B

We measured the ⁵⁷Zn β-delayed proton (βp) and γemission at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. We find a ⁵⁷Zn half-life of 43.6 ± 0.2ms, βp branching ratio of (84.7 ±1.4)%, and identify four transitions corresponding to the exotic β-γ-pdecay mode, the second such identification in the fp-shell. The p/γratio was used to correct for isospin mixing while determining the ⁵⁷Zn mass via the isobaric multiplet mass equation. Previously, it was uncertain as to whether the rp-process flow could bypass the textbook waiting point ⁵⁶Ni for astrophysical conditions relevant to Type-I X-ray bursts. Our results definitively establish the existence of themore »« less

Identification of a new isomeric state in ⁷⁶Zn following the β decay of ⁷⁶Cu

Journal Article Chester, A. ; Brown, B. A. ; Burcher, S. P. ; ... - Physical Review C

Background: The evolution of nuclear shell structure far from stability can be explored by identifying and measuring the properties of isomers. Neutron-rich nuclei between the Z = 28 and Z = 50 closed shells have been the subject of recent studies which have identified a number of 0.1 - 10 µs isomers and measured detailed spectroscopic properties. Purpose: The purpose of this analysis was to identify and measure the properties of short-lived isomeric states populated following β decay in Z ≈ 30, N ≈ 50 nuclei near the doubly magic nucleus ⁷⁸Ni. Methods: Here, radioactive ions produced by beam fragmentationmore »« less

First identification of excited states in ${}^{117}{Ba}$ using the recoil- $β$ -delayed proton tagging technique

Journal Article Ding, B. ; Liu, Z. ; Seweryniak, D. ; ... - Physical Review C

Excited states have been observed for the first time in the neutron-deficient nucleus ¹¹⁷Ba using the recoil-decay tagging technique following the heavy-ion fusion-evaporation reaction ⁶⁴Zn(⁵⁸Ni, 2p3n)¹¹⁷Ba. Prompt γ rays have been assigned to ¹¹⁷Ba through correlations with β-delayed protons following the decay of A = 117 recoils. Through the analysis of the γ–γ coincidence relationships, a high-spin level scheme consisting of two bands has been established in ¹¹⁷Ba. Based on the systematics of the level spacings in the neighboring barium isotopes, the two bands are proposed to have νh_11/2[532]5/2^– and νd_5/2[413]5/2⁺ configurations, respectively. Lastly, the observed band-crossing properties are interpretedmore »« less
