- We measured the Coulomb dissociation of O-16 into He-4 and C-12 within the FAIR Phase-0 program at GSI Helmholtzzentrum fur Schwerionenforschung Darmstadt, Germany. From this we will extract the photon dissociation cross section O-16(alpha,gamma)C-12, which is the time reversed reaction to C-12(alpha,gamma)O-16. With this indirect method, we aim to improve on the accuracy of the experimental data at lower energies than measured so far. The expected low cross section for the Coulomb dissociation reaction and close magnetic rigidity of beam and fragments demand a high precision measurement. Hence, new detector systems were built and radical changes to the (RB)-B-3 setup were necessary to cope with the high-intensity O-16 beam. All tracking detectors were designed to let the unreacted O-16 ions pass, while detecting the C-12 and He-4.

- We measured the Coulomb dissociation of 16O into 4He and 12C at the R3B setup in a first campaign within FAIR Phase 0 at GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung, Darmstadt. The goal was to improve the accuracy of the experimental data for the 12C(a,?)16O fusion reaction and to reach lower center-ofmass energies than measured so far. The experiment required beam intensities of 109 16O ions per second at an energy of 500 MeV/nucleon. The rare case of Coulomb breakup into 12C and 4He posed another challenge: The magnetic rigidities of the particles are so close because of the same mass-To-charge-number ratio A/Z = 2 for 16O, 12C and 4He. Hence, radical changes of the R3B setup were necessary. All detectors had slits to allow the passage of the unreacted 16O ions, while 4He and 12C would hit the detectors' active areas depending on the scattering angle and their relative energies. We developed and built detectors based on organic scintillators to track and identify the reaction products with sufficient precision.

Isomeric yield ratio measurements with JYFLTRAP : In quest of the angular momentum of the primary fragments
- 2018

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this thesis, isomeric yield ratios of twenty nuclides produced in the fission of natU and 232Th by protons at 25-MeV and natU by high-energy neutrons were studied. The experiments were performed at the IGISOL-JYFLTRAP facility at the University of Jyväskylä. It is the first time that direct ion counting is used for the determination of the intensities of the states of interest, thus avoiding dependency on knowledge of nuclear decay schemes and properties. This was possible due to the superior resolution of a Penning trap which was utilized for this work. Two different techniques were employed, namely the sideband cooling technique and the phase-imaging ion-cyclotron-resonance technique. With the former, a mass resolving power of m/δm = 105 can be routinely achieved, while the latter, which was recently implemented at JYFLTRAP, offers an increase in the mass resolving power by a factor of ten. In addition, isomeric yield ratios were also determined by means of γ-ray spectroscopy.From a comparison of the same isomeric pair from two different reactions, a dependency on the fissioning system can be observed. This indicates an effect of the fission mode to the yield ratio. Moreover, the evolution of the odd-A isotopes of Cd and In in the mass range A = 119 - 127 exhibit two distinguishably different trends. The ratios for the isotopes of In decrease with increasing mass, while the ratios for the isotopes of Cd are almost constant until mass number A = 125, where an increase can be noticed.The origins of the angular momentum in the fission fragments is one of the long-standing questions regarding the fission process. Surprisingly, fission fragments have been observed to carry a considerable amount of angular momentum, even from fissioning systems with very low (or even zero) angular momentum. So far, the angular momentum can only be inferred from other fission observables, such as the isomeric yield ratios. In this work, a methodology was developed in order to deduce the root-mean-square angular momentum (Jrms) of the primary fragments by employing the nuclear reaction code TALYS.Lower values of Jrms for the more spherical nuclei, near the closed-shell neutron configuration at N = 82, and higher ones for fragments with odd proton number have been deduced, in agreement with other studies. Moreover, a correlation between the angular momentum of the primary fragments with the electric quadrupole moments of the products was observed for the isotopes of In. The data can be used to gain insight into scission configuration and as guide for models that propose mechanisms for the generation of the angular momentum. Furthermore, the observed correlation is an indication of the role that the repulsive Coulomb force, together with the shape of the nascent fragment, play in the generation of the fragments’ angular momentum.
