Abstract

The neutron-rich isotopes of palladium have attracted considerable interest in terms of the evolution of the N = 82 neutron shell closure and its influence on the r-process nucleosynthesis. In this Letter, we present the first spectroscopic information on the excited states in ¹²⁵Pd₇₉ and ¹²⁷Pd₈₁ studied using the EURICA γ-ray spectrometer, following production via in-flight fission of a high-intensity ²³⁸U beam at the RIBF facility. New isomeric states with half-lives of 144(4) ns and 39(6) μs have been assigned spins and parities of (23/2⁺) and (19/2⁺) in ¹²⁵Pd and ¹²⁷Pd, respectively. The observed level properties are compared to a shell-model calculation, suggesting the competition between proton excitations and neutron excitations in the proton-hole and neutron-hole systems in the vicinity of the doubly magic nucleus ¹³²Sn.

Impact of shell evolution on Gamow-Teller β decay from a high-spin long-lived isomer in 127Ag

Journal Article Watanabe, H. ; Yuan, C. X. ; Lorusso, G. ; ... - Physics Letters B

The change of the shell structure in atomic nuclei, so-called “nuclear shell evolution”, occurs due to changes of major configurations through particle-hole excitations inside one nucleus, as well as due to variation of the number of constituent protons or neutrons. We have investigated how the shell evolution affects Gamow-Teller (GT) transitions that dominate the β decay in the region below ¹³²Sn using the newly obtained experimental data on a long-lived isomer in ¹²⁷Ag. The TSub>1/2 = 67.5(9) ms isomer has been identified with a spin and parity of (27/2⁺) at an excitation energy of 1942more »« less

Isomer spectroscopy of neutron-rich ¹⁶⁸Tb₁₀₃

Journal Article Gurgi, L. A. ; Regan, P. H. ; Söderström, P. -A. ; ... - Radiation Physics and Chemistry (1993)

In-flight fission of a 345 MeV per nucleon ²³⁸U primary beam on a 2 mm thick ⁹Be target has been used to produce and study the decays of a range of neutron-rich nuclei centred around the doubly mid-shell nucleus ¹⁷⁰Dy at the RIBF Facility, RIKEN, Japan. The produced secondary fragments of interest were identified event-by-event using the BigRIPS separator. The fragments were implanted into the WAS3ABI position sensitive silicon active stopper which allowed pixelated correlations between implants and their subsequent β-decay. Discrete γ-ray transitions emitted following decays from either metastable states or excited states populated following beta decay were identifiedmore »« less

Isomer spectroscopy of neutron-rich $$^{165,167}$$Tb

Journal Article Gurgi, L. A. ; Regan, P. H. ; Soderstrom, P. -A. ; ... - Acta Physica Polonica. Series B

We present information on the excited states in the prolate-deformed, neutron-rich nuclei ^165,167Tb_100,102. The nuclei of interest were synthesised following in-flight fission of a 345 MeV per nucleon ²³⁸U primary beam on a 2 mm ⁹Be target at the Radioactive Ion-Beam Factory (RIBF), RIKEN, Japan. The exotic nuclei were separated and identified event-by-event using the BigRIPS separator, with discrete energy gamma-ray decays from isomeric states with half-lives in the μs regime measured using the EURICA gamma-ray spectrometer. Metastable-state decays are identified in ¹⁶⁵Tb and ¹⁶⁷Tb and interpreted as arising from hindered E1 decay from the ₇₂^–[523] single quasi-proton Nilsson configurationmore »« less

Interplay of quasiparticle and vibrational excitations: First observation of isomeric states in 168Dy and 169Dy

Journal Article Zhang, G. X. ; Watanabe, H. ; Dracoulis, G. D. ; ... - Physics Letters B

The neutron-rich dysprosium isotopes ¹⁶⁸Dy₁₀₂ and ¹⁶⁹Dy₁₀₃ have been investigated using the EURICA γ-ray spectrometer, following production via in-flight fission of a high-intensity uranium beam in conjunction with isotope separation through the BigRIPS separator at RIBF in RIKEN Nishina Center. For ¹⁶⁸Dy, a previously unreported isomer with a half-life of 0.57(7) μs has been identified at an excitation energy of 1378 keV, and its presence affirmed independently using γ-γ-γ coincidence data taken with Gammasphere via two-proton transfer from an enriched ¹⁷⁰Er target performed at Argonne National Laboratory. This isomer is assigned J^π = K^π = (4¯) based on the measuredmore »« less
