Abstract

Neutron-rich isotopes are an important source of new information on nuclear physics. Specifically, the spin-isospin components in the nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction, e.g., the proton-neutron tensor force, are expected to modify shell structure in exotic nuclei. These potential changes in the intrinsic shell structure are of fundamental interest. The study of the excitation energy of states corresponding to specific configurations in even-even isotopes, together with the single-particle character of the first excited states of odd-A, neutron-rich Ni isotopes, probes the evolution of the neutron orbitals around the Fermi surface as a function of the neutron number a step forward in the understanding of the region and the nature of the NN interaction at large N/Z ratios. In an experiment carried out at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory, new spectroscopic information was obtained for ⁶⁸Ni and the distribution of single-particle strengths in ^67,69Ni was characterized by means of single-neutron knockout from ^68,70Ni secondary beams. The spectroscopic strengths, deduced from the measured partial cross sections to the individual states tagged by their de-exciting gamma rays, is used to identify and quantify configurations that involve neutron excitations across the N = 40 harmonic oscillator shell closure. Finally, the de-excitation rays were measured with themore » GRETINA tracking array.« less

Coulomb Excitation of {sup 68,70}Cu: First Use of Postaccelerated Isomeric Beams

Journal Article Stefanescu, I ; Horia-Hulubei National Institute for Physics and Nuclear Engineering, PO-Box MG-6, Bucharest ; Georgiev, G ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We report on the first low-energy Coulomb excitation measurements with radioactive I{sup {pi}}=6{sup -} beams of odd-odd nuclei {sup 68,70}Cu. The beams were produced at ISOLDE, CERN and were post-accelerated by REX-ISOLDE to 2.83 MeV/nucleon. {gamma} rays were detected with the MINIBALL spectrometer. The 6{sup -} beam was used to study the multiplet of states (3{sup -}, 4{sup -}, 5{sup -}, 6{sup -}) arising from the {pi}2p{sub 3/2}{nu}1g{sub 9/2} configuration. The 4{sup -} state of the multiplet was populated via Coulomb excitation and the B(E2;6{sup -}{yields}4{sup -}) value was determined in both nuclei. The results obtained illustrate the fragile stabilitymore »« less

Neutron single-particle strengths at $N = 40$ , 42: Neutron knockout from ${}^{68, 70}{Ni}$ ground and isomeric states

Journal Article Recchia, F. ; Weisshaar, D. ; Gade, A. ; ... - Physical Review C

© 2016 American Physical Society.The distribution of single-particle strength in Ni67,69 was characterized with one-neutron knockout reactions from intermediate-energy Ni68,70 secondary beams, selectively populating neutron-hole configurations at N=39 and 41, respectively. The spectroscopic strengths deduced from the measured partial cross sections to the individual final states, as tagged by their γ-ray decays, are used to identify and quantify neutron configurations in the wave functions. While Ni69 compares well with shell-model predictions, the results for Ni67 challenge the validity of current effective shell-model Hamiltonians by revealing discrepancies that cannot be explained so far. These results suggest that our understanding of themore »« less

Structure of ³⁰Mg explored via in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy

Journal Article Kitamura, N. ; Wimmer, K. ; Shimizu, N. ; ... - Physical Review C

In the island of inversion, ground states of neutron-rich sd-shell nuclei exhibit strong admixtures of intruder configurations from the fp shell. The nucleus ³⁰Mg, located at the boundary of the island of inversion, serves as a cornerstone to track the structural evolution as one approaches this region. Spin-parity assignments for excited states in ³⁰Mg, especially negative-parity levels, have yet to be established. In the present work, the nuclear structure of 30Mg was investigated by in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy mainly focusing on firm spin-parity determinations. High-intensity rare-isotope beams of ³¹Mg, ³²Mg, ³⁴Si, and ³⁵P bombarded a Be target to induce nucleon removalmore »« less

Spectroscopy of the T = 2 mirror nuclei ⁴⁸Fe/⁴⁸Ti using mirrored knockout reactions

Journal Article Yajzey, R. ; Bentley, Michael A. ; Simpson, E. C. ; ... - Physics Letters. B

A sequence of excited states has been established for the first time in the proton-rich nucleus ⁴⁸Fe (Z=26, N=22). The technique of mirrored (i.e. analogue) one-nucleon knockout reactions was applied, in which the T_z = ±2 mirror pair, ⁴⁸Fe/⁴⁸Ti were populated via one-neutron/one-proton knockout from the secondary beams ⁴⁹Fe/⁴⁹V, respectively. The analogue properties of the reactions were used to help establish the new level scheme of ⁴⁸Fe. The inclusive and exclusive cross sections were determined for the populated states. Large differences between the cross sections for the two mirrored reactions were observed and have been interpreted in terms of differentmore »« less

Structure of ${}^{13}{Be}$ studied in proton knockout from ${}^{14}B$

Journal Article Ribeiro, G. ; Nácher, E. ; Tengblad, O. ; ... - Physical Review C

The neutron-unbound isotope ¹³Be has been studied in several experiments using different reactions, different projectile energies, and different experimental setups. There is, however, no real consensus in the interpretation of the data, in particular concerning the structure of the low-lying excited states. Gathering new experimental information, which may reveal the ¹³Be structure, is a challenge, particularly in light of its bridging role between ¹²Be, where the N = 8 neutron shell breaks down, and the Borromean halo nucleus ¹⁴Be . The purpose of the present study is to investigate the role of bound excited states in the reaction product ¹²Bemore »« less
