- The very neutron deficient odd-odd nucleus Au-172 was studied in reactions of 342 and 348 MeV Kr-78 beams with an isotopically enriched Ru-96 target. The alpha decays previously reported for Au-172 were confirmed and the decay chain extended down to Tm-152 through the discovery of a new alpha-decaying state in Re-164 [E-alpha=5623(10) keV; t(1/2)=864(-110)(+150) ms; b(alpha)=3(1)%]. Fine structure in these alpha decays of Au-172 and Ir-168 were identified. A new alpha-decaying state was also observed and assigned as the ground state in Au-172 [E-alpha=6762(10) keV; t(1/2)=22(-5)(+6) ms]. This decay chain was also correlated down to Tm-152 through previously reported alpha decays. Prompt gamma rays from excited states in Au-172 have been identified using the recoil-decay tagging technique. The partial level scheme constructed for Au-172 indicates that it has an irregular structure. Possible configurations of the alpha-decaying states in Au-172 are discussed in terms of the systematics of nuclei in this region and total Routhian surface calculations.

Probing sd-fp Cross-shell Interactions via Terminating Configurations in 42Sc,43Sc
- 2007

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- An experimental study of the lower fp-shell nuclei Sc-42,Sc-43 was performed via alpha pn and alpha p evaporation, respectively, from Ne-20 + Si-28 and Mg-24 + Mg-24 fusion-evaporation reactions. The experiments were conducted with the Gammasphere and Microball detector arrays. The level schemes of both nuclei have been extended considerably. Terminating states associated with the f(7/2)(n) and d(3/2)(-1)f(7/2)(n+1) configurations were identified in each nuclide and incorporated into detailed comparisons with neighboring nuclei and with shell model calculations. The energy differences between the terminating states provide a test of the sd-fp cross-shell interactions in these calculations.

- Gamma-ray transitions from excited states in Te-106 have been identified using the recoil decay tagging technique. The experiment which was the reaction Fe-54(Fe-54,2n)Te-106* was performed at the JYFL accelerator facility at the University of Jyvaskyla, Finland. The production cross section was estimated at 25 nb, a new limit for in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy. A tentative level structure for the ground state band of Te-106 is proposed.

- Mean lifetime tau of the isomeric O-2(+) state in Be-12 has been determined by measuring decay spectra of delayed y-rays from stopped Be-12 2 nuclei produced by the projectile fragmentation of O-18 at 100 A MeV. A consistent value of tau = 331 +/- 12 ns was obtained from the time spectra of the E2 gamma decay to the 2(1)(+) state and the positron annihilation following the E0 decay to the ground state. Based on the observed branching ratio between the E2 and E0 decays, transition strengths of the two decay modes were deduced to be B(E2; O-2(+) -> 2(1)(+)) = 7.0 +/- 0.6 e(2) fm(4) and 2 1 1 (O-2(+) Sigma(i) e(i) r(i)(2) O-1(+)), = 0.87 +/- 0.03 e fM(2), respectively.

Investigation of High-spin States in 53Fe

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The fusion-evaporation reactions Si-28(S-32,1 alpha 2p1n)Fe-53 at 125 MeV and Mg-24(S-32,2p1n)Fe-53 at a 95-MeV beam energy were used to investigate excited states in Fe-53. The combination of the Gammasphere Ge detector array and ancillary devices led to the construction of an extensive level scheme comprising some 90 transitions connecting 40 states. The lifetime of the yrast 25/2(-) state and upper limits for the lifetimes of a number of additional states were determined using the Cologne plunger device coupled to the GASP gamma-ray spectrometer. The experimental results are compared to large-scale shell-model calculations using different sets of two-body matrix elements. In particular, predictions on electromagnetic decay properties such as lifetimes, branching ratios, and mixing ratios are studied in detail.

Study of high-spin states in 48Ca region induced by secondary fusion reactions
- 2005
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- A new method of in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy induced by secondary fusion reactions, 37P+9Be and 46Ar+9Be is presented. Low-energy secondary beams of 37P and 46Ar ions of ∼5 MeV/A were developed in order to induce fusion evaporation reactions. Excited states of nuclei in the vicinity of 48Ca, 49-52Ti and 46Ca, were studied by the method as well as β decay of the secondary beam 46Ar. Gamma-gamma coincidence and excitation function analysis were performed to study high-spin states of Ti isotopes.

58Ni: An Unpaired Band Crossing at New Heights of Angular Momentum for Rotating Nuclei
- 2006

Ingår i: Physical Review Letters. - 1079-7114. ; 96:9
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- High-spin states in Ni-58 have been investigated by means of the fusion-evaporation reaction Si-28(S-32,2p)Ni-58 at 130 MeV beam energy. Discrete-energy levels are observed in Ni-58 at record-breaking 42 MeV excitation energy and angular momenta in excess of 30h. The states form regular rotational bands with unprecedented high rotational frequencies. A comparison with configuration dependent cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations reveals an exceptional two-band crossing scenario, the interaction strength of which is strongly shape dependent.
