- Gamma-rays from the alpha- and proton-unstable nuclide Au-171 have been observed for the first time. The gamma-rays were correlated with both a proton- and an alpha-particle decay branch, confirming that the nucleus decays by alpha and proton emission from a single (11/2(-)) state. The measurement confirms the previously determined half-lives for these particle decays but the present values are of higher precision. In addition, a longer half-life than determined in previous work was measured for the proton-unstable tentative ground state. The results are discussed in relation to structures in neighbouring nuclei and compared with a Strutinsky-type TRS calculation.

- High-spin states in Mo-88 were studied using the GAMMASPHERE germanium detector array in conjunction with the MICROBALL CsI(TI) charged-particle detector system. Three gamma-ray cascades with dynamic moments of inertia showing similar characteristics to superdeformed rotational bands observed in the neighbouring A = 80 region have been identified and assigned to the nucleus Mo-88. The quadrupole moment of the strongest band, deduced by the Residual Doppler Shift Method, corresponds to a quadrupole deformation of beta(2) approximate to 0.6. This confirms the superdeformed nature of this band. The experimental data are interpreted in the framework of total routhian surface calculations. All three hands are assigned to two-quasi-particle proton configurations at superdeformed shape.

Spectroscopy of the neutron-deficient nuclide Pt-171

- A number of previously unobserved gamma-rays emitted from the neutron-deficient nuclide Pt-171 have been identified using the recoil decay tagging technique. The level scheme has been updated using information from gamma-gamma coincidences and angular distribution measurements. To further confirm the assignments of the gamma-rays to Pt-171, the events were correlated with the alpha-decay of the daughter nucleus Os-167.

Favoured superdeformed states in 89TC
- 1999

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A superdeformed band consisting of a cascade of ten gamma-ray transitions has been identified and assigned to the nucleus Tc-89, close to the proton dripline. The quadrupole moment of the band (Q(t) = 6.7(-2.3)(+3.0) eb, as measured by the Residual Doppler Shift Method) as well as a large dynamic moment of inertia point to a highly elongated shape. With a relative population of approximately 15% of the gamma-ray flux in the Tc-89 exit channel, thp band is among the most intense superdeformed bands observed to date.

Evidence for octupole collectivity in 172Pt
- 2020
-
Ingår i: European Physical Journal A. - : Springer. - 1434-6001 .- 1434-601X. ; 56:2
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Excited states in the extremely neutron-deficient nucleus 172Pt were populated via 96Ru(78Kr,2p) and 92Mo(83Kr,3n) reactions. The level scheme has been extended up to an excitation energy of ~ 5 MeV and tentative spin-parity assignments up to Iπ = 18+. Linear polarization and angular distribution measurements were used to determine the electromagnetic E1 character of the dipole transitions connecting the positive-parity ground-state band with an excited side-band, firmly establishing it as a negative-parity band. The lowest member of this negative-parity structure was firmly assigned spin-parity 3-. In addition, we observed an E3 transition from this 3- state to the ground state, providing direct evidence for octupole collectivity in 172Pt. Large-scale shell model (LSSM) and total Routhian surface (TRS) calculations have been performed, supporting the interpretation of the 3- state as a collective octupole-vibrational state.

Nuclear structure in the vicinity of the N = Z line in the A=90-100 region
- 2002

Ingår i: European Physical Journal A. - 1434-6001 .- 1434-601X. ; 13:02-jan, s. 9-14

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Neutron-deficient nuclei in the mass region A approximate to 90-100 exhibit a large variety of phenomena. In this region the heaviest N = Z nuclei are identified and enhanced neutron-proton correlations are expected when protons and neutrons occupy identical orbitals. A variety of nuclear shapes are predicted and observed for A less than or equal to 91, including superdeformed shapes. The nucleus Sn-100 is the heaviest N = Z doubly magic nucleus believed to be bound. Knowledge of the shell structure around 100Sn is of utmost importance for understanding the nuclear shell model. New results on both the N = Z nucleus Ru-88, superdeformed structures in A approximate to 90 nuclei as well as the first result on the level structure in Sn-103, and an extended level structure in In-102 are presented. The limitations of using stable beams and targets and the possibilities with new radioactive beams are briefly outlined.

- The first evidence for excited states in Ag-95 is presented. Ag-95 is the heaviest T-z = 1/2 nucleus for which gamma-rays have been identified. The reaction Ca-40(Ni-58, 1p2n)Ag-95 was used in the experiment, which resulted in the assignment of three gamma-rays to Ag-95. A detector system consisting of the detector arrays Euroball, Neutron Wall and Euclides was used to detect gamma-rays, neutrons and charged particles, respectively.

Isospectral superdeformed bands in the N=46 nuclei Mo-88 and Tc-89
- 2004
-

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Superdeformed bands in Mo-88 and Tc-89 were populated Using Ca-40-induced fusion-evaporation reactions on Ni-58 at a beam energy of 185 MeV. Gamma-rays emitted in the reactions were detected using the Gammasphere spectrometer, in coincidence with charged particles detected by the Microball array. A new superdeformed band was assigned to the nucleus Mo-88, leading to a revisit of earlier configuration assignments for superdeformed structures in this nucleus. In particular, the theoretical interpretation of a pair of identical (isospectral) superdeformed bands in Mo-88/Tc-89 is discussed. The configurations that are assigned to the four SD bands belonging to Mo-88 have properties that are predicted to be significantly affected by pair correlations.

First identification of excited states in the T-z=1/2 nucleus Pd-93
- 2004
-
Ingår i: European Physical Journal A. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1434-6001 .- 1434-601X. ; 19:2, s. 169-172

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The first experimental information about excited states in the N=Z+1 nucleus Pd-93 is presented. The experiment was performed using a 205 MeV Ni-58 beam from the Vivitron accelerator at IReS, Strasbourg, impinging on a bismuth-backed Ca-40 target. Gamma-rays, neutrons and charged particles emitted in the reactions were detected using the Ge detector array Euroball, the Neutron Wall liquid-scintillator array and the Euclides Si charged-particle detector system. The experimental level scheme is compared with the results of new shell model calculations which predict a coupling scheme with aligned neutron-proton pairs to greatly influence the level structure of Napproximate toZ nuclei at low excitation energies.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Excited states of Ag-99 were populated via the Cr-50 + Ni-58 (261 MeV) reaction using the NORDBALL detector array equipped with charged-particle and neutron. detector systems for reaction channel separation. On the basis of the measured gammagamma-coincidence relations and angular distribution ratios a significantly extended level scheme has been constructed up to E-x similar to 7.8 MeV and I = 35/2. The experimental results were described within the framework of the shell model. Candidates for states fully aligned in the pig(9/2)(-3)nu(d(5/2),g(7/2))(2) valence configuration space were found at 4109 and 6265 keV.
