Abstract

In this contribution, we present recent results related to the quadrupole collectivity in neutron rich carbon isotopes. B(E2) transitions strengths derived from lifetime measurements are interpreted in a seniority scheme, indicating an increase role of proton excitations due to the reduction of the p_3/2-p_1/2 spin-orbit splitting. We also discuss the evolution of the N = 40 shell closure with isospin and report on preliminary results of Coulomb Excitation experiments on ^66;68Fe and ⁶⁴Cr. Finally, a short review of the gamma-ray tracking technique and a status report of GRETINA are presented. Some aspects of the exciting physics campaign being carried out at NSCL/MSU are discussed.

The LLNL Program in Nuclear Structure and Nuclear Astrophysics (NSNA) (FY19 Annual Report)

Technical Report Wu, C. Y. ; Henderson, J. ; Scielzo, N. D. ; ...

Our major efforts in FY18-19 were devoted to carrying out the second GRETINA/CHICO2 campaign at ANL and the JANUS campaign at MSU/NSCL. Among a total of 13 fielded experiments, three were for Ph.D. thesis projects; two students at MSU and one at UNC at Chapel Hill. Two experiments in the JANUS campaign were led by LLNL; namely, the study of nuclear structure in ⁷²Se and ⁷⁶Se using the sub-barrier Coulomb excitation method. The data analysis was completed for both selenium isotopes and the results were published. The ⁷²Se results have been submitted to DOE/SC/NP as a science highlight and themore »« less

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

Study of correlation effects in nuclei at the limit of stability. Final report

Technical Report Gade, Alexandra

Exotic nuclei far from the valley of stability are a particularly exciting testing ground to probe nucleon-nucleon correlations in a regime where the numbers of constituent protons and neutrons are out of balance and the influence of isospin-dependent terms within the nuclear force becomes amplified. The grant DE-FG02-08ER41556 has supported from 2008 to 2019 an MSU graduate student research assistantship at the heart of a research program that explored the evolution of nuclear structure in exotic nuclei with gamma-ray spectroscopy experiments in the N=40 region of neutron-rich nuclei at NSCL and at ATLAS at Argonne National Laboratory and that mountedmore »« less

Direct lifetime measurements of the excited states in ${}^{72}{Ni}$

Journal Article Kolos, K. ; Miller, D. ; Grzywacz, R. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

The lifetimes of the first excited 2⁺ and 4⁺ states in ⁷²Ni were measured at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory with the recoil-distance Doppler-shift method, a model-independent probe to obtain the reduced transition probability. Excited states in ⁷²Ni were populated by the one-proton knockout reaction of an intermediate energy ⁷³Cu beam. γ-ray-recoil coincidences were detected with the γ-ray tracking array GRETINA and the S800 spectrograph. Our results provide evidence of enhanced transition probability B(E2;2⁺ → 0⁺) as compared to ⁶⁸Ni, but do not confirm the trend of large B(E2) values reported in the neighboring isotope ⁷⁰Ni obtained from Coulomb excitationmore »« less

Operation of GRETINA at NSCL

Technical Report Sherrill, Bradley ; Gade, Alexandra

This proposal funded the continued operation of the Gamma-ray Energy tracking Array GRETINA as a user device at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University. This was a continuation and covered the operation from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017. Twenty-three experiments were completed with GRETINA at NSCL. GRETINA was installed at the reaction target position of the high-resolution, large-acceptance S800 spectrograph and the program started on October 15, 2017. The campaign capitalized on the opportunities provided by NSCL’s energetic rare isotope beams produced by projectile fragmentation.
