Abstract

We constructed a new experimental setup for low-energy Coulomb excitation experiments in a collaboration between the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), and the University of Rochester and was commissioned at the general purpose beam line of NSCL’s ReA3 reaccelerator facility. The so-called JANUS setup combines γ-ray detection with the Segmented Ge Array (SeGA) and scattered particle detection using a pair of segmented double-sided Si detectors (Bambino 2). Furthermore, the low-energy Coulomb excitation program that JANUS enables will complement intermediate-energy Coulomb excitation studies that have long been performed at NSCL by providing access to observables that quantify collectivity beyond the first excited state, including the sign and magnitude of excited-state quadrupole moments. In this work, the setup and its performance will be described based on the commissioning run that used stable ⁷⁸Kr impinging onto a 1.09 mg/cm² ²⁰⁸Pb target at a beam energy of 3.9 MeV/u.

Exploring the role of high-j configurations in collective observables through the Coulomb excitation of ¹⁰⁶Cd

Journal Article Rhodes, D. ; Brown, B. A. ; Henderson, J. ; ... - Physical Review C

In this work, the shape and collectivity of ¹⁰⁶Cd was investigated via a sub-barrier-energy Coulomb excitation experiment performed at the NSCL ReA3 facility using the JANUS setup. Transition matrix elements between low-lying states were found to agree with adopted values, and information on the shape and collectivity of higher-lying states was extracted for the first time. Locally-optimized large-scale shell-model calculations were found to describe well the B(E2) transition strengths but failed to reproduce the spectroscopic quadrupole moments Q_s. An analysis of the E2 rotational invariants and the normalized quadrupole moment q_s indicates that this may be due to a significantmore »« less

Triaxiality in selenium-76

Journal Article Henderson, J. ; Wu, C. Y. ; Ash, J. ; ... - Physical Review C

Background: Selenium and germanium nuclei are associated with both triaxiality and shape coexistence. The relative influence of these deformation effects on the low-lying nuclear structure remains the subject of much discussion with additional attention drawn to ⁷⁶Se and ⁷⁶Ge due to the potential for the observation of neutrinoless double- β decay. Purpose: Experimental observables related to the deformation of ⁷⁶Se are lacking in precision. The purpose of the present paper is to provide electric quadrupole matrix elements with improved precision in order to determine the deformation of low-lying states in a model-independent manner. Methods: Sub-barrier Coulomb excitation was employed atmore »« less

GADGET: a Gaseous Detector with Germanium Tagging

Journal Article Friedman, M. ; Pérez-Loureiro, D. ; Budner, T. ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

The Gaseous Detector with Germanium Tagging (GADGET) is a new detection system devoted to the measurement of weak, low-energy β-delayed proton decays relevant for nuclear astrophysics studies. It is comprised of a new gaseous Proton Detector equipped with a Micromegas readout for charged particle detection, surrounded by the existing Segmented Germanium Array (SeGA) for the high-resolution detection of the prompt γ-rays. Here in this work we describe in detail for the first time the design, construction, and operation of the GADGET system, including performance of the Proton Detector. We present the results of a recent commissioning experiment performed with ²⁵Simore »« less

LLNL/Rochester 2007 TRIUMF activity

Technical Report Wu, C ; Becker, J ; Hurst, A ; ...

Bambino is a first generation auxiliary detector for the TIGRESS array and consists of a pair of segmented annular silicon detectors, fabricated by MicronSemiconductor Inc. Bambino provides measures of both the energy and position for outgoing charged particles and main triggers for valid events. The annular Bambino detectors are placed 3.0 cm from the target both upstream and downstream. Each detector has 24 rings in q covering angles between 20.1{sup o} and 49.4{sup o} and between 130.6{sup o} to 159.9{sup o}, with 16 sectors in {phi} for 2{pi} coverage.

Nuclear Structure of Radioactive Neutron-Rich Nuclei with 4pi Detector Arrays

Conference Wu, C Y ; Becker, J A ; Cline, D

In-beam studies of {gamma}-ray spectroscopy of radioactive neutron-rich nuclei using the 4{pi} TIGRESS array at TRIUMF requires a ''tag'' to improve the selectivity of the detected {gamma} rays in the high {gamma}-ray background produced by radioactive beams and the need for Doppler-shift correction. We propose development of two types of large solid angle auxiliary charged particle detectors to be used in conjunction with TRIGRESS in order to provide the required tag. The initial phase of detector development will focus on research involving light-mass radioactive beams with Z {le} 20. Gas avalanche detectors, such as CHICO, are not the ideal detectormore »« less
