- Excited states in Xe-124 were populated in the reaction Se-82(Ca-48, 6n) Xe-124 and gamma-ray coincidence relationships were measured with the Gammasphere spectrometer. Two new bands are observed and several of the previously known bands are extended in the high-as well as in the low-spin region. Two irregular high-spin structures are also added. The irregularities are a fingerprint of a transition from collective to non-collective behaviour. Configuration assignments to the new structures are proposed on the basis of systematics and by comparing experimental properties with calculations within the framework of the cranking model.

Ingår i: Physical Review C. - 2469-9985. ; 101:2

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- An experiment involving a heavy-ion-induced fusion-evaporation reaction was carried out where high-spin states of Xe123 were populated in the Se80(Ca48,5n)Xe123 reaction at 207 MeV beam energy. Gamma-ray coincidence events were recorded with the Gammasphere Ge detector array. The previously known level scheme was confirmed and enhanced with the addition of five new band structures and several interband transitions. Cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky (CNS) calculations were performed and compared with the experimental results in order to assign configurations to the bands.

Highly deformed band structures due to core excitations in Xe 123
- 2021

Ingår i: Physical Review C. - 2469-9985. ; 103:1

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- High-spin states in Xe123 were populated in the Se80(Ca48, 5n)Xe123 reaction at a beam energy of 207 MeV. γ-ray coincidence events were recorded with the Gammasphere spectrometer. Four new high-spin bands have been discovered in this nucleus. The bands are compared with those calculated within the framework of cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky and cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky-Bogoliubov models. It is concluded that the configurations of the bands involve two-proton excitations across the Z=50 as well as excitation of neutrons across the N=82 shell gaps resulting in a large deformation, 2≈0.30 and γ≈5°C.

Decay-Out Of Superdeformed Bands By Coupling To Ordered Or Chaotic Spectra
- 2005
-
Ingår i: AIP Conference Proceedings. - : AIP. - 0094-243X. ; 764:1, s. 27-33
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Different treatments of the decay-out of superdeformed bands are reviewed, focusing on the role of the normally deformed doorway states to which the superdeformed band primarily couples at decay-out. A schematic description based on sparse GOE matrices is formulated for the normally deformed states including one doorway state. This allows for a gradual change of the normally deformed spectrum from an ordered to a chaotic situation by means of the effective dimensionality parameter. It is found that the distribution of the small normally deformed admixtures into the superdeformed band, through which it decays, depends sensitively on the effective dimensionality parameter. Analyzing the measured distribution of transition strength of decay-out gamma-ray lines in 194Hg, it is concluded that the spectrum of normally deformed states is closer to the chaotic than the ordered situation at the energy and angular momentum of the superdeformed band. ©2005 American Institute of Physics

Order to Chaos Properties of the Decay-out Gamma Rays from Superdeformed Bands
- 2004

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Based on GOE sparse matrices, a model for decay-out of superdeformed bands is formulated, with focus on the degree of chaoticity of the spectrum of normally deformed states, to which the superdeformed band couples at decay-out. By means of the effective dimensionality parameter, the spectrum may be varied between the two limiting situations of complete order and complete chaos. The model is applied to the measured distribution of transition strength of decay-out gamma-ray lines in 194Hg, and it is found that the normally deformed states should be closer to the chaotic than the ordered situation, with GOE-type spectral correlations extending over at least 10 levels. ©2004 American Institute of Physics

Alignment additivity in the two-quasiparticle superdeformed bands of Tl-192
- 1996
-
Ingår i: Physical Review C. Nuclear Physics. - 0556-2813 .- 1089-490X. ; 53:5, s. 2126-2133

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Four superdeformed bands have been confirmed in Tl-192. Two of these bands have T-(2) dynamic moments of inertia which are nearly constant with rotational frequency HBAR omega. The other two bands show the characteristic rise of T-(2) with increasing HBAR omega seen in most superdeformed bands of the A = 190 region of superdeformation. From comparisons with the odd-A neighbors, it was found that the alignments of these bands relative to a Hg-192 core can be accounted for from the additive contributions of the assigned quasiproton and quasineutron orbitals.

Exploring the stability of super heavy elements: First measurement of the fission barrier of 254No

- The gamma-ray multiplicity and total energy emitted by the heavy nucleus 254No have been measured at 2 different beam energies. From these measurements, the initial distributions of spin I and excitation energy E * of 254No were constructed. The distributions display a saturation in excitation energy, which allows a direct determination of the fission barrier. 254No is the heaviest shell-stabilized nucleus with a measured fission barrier. © Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2014.

Fission Barrier of Superheavy Nuclei and Persistence of Shell Effects at High Spin: Cases of No-254 and Th-220
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Physical Review Letters. - 1079-7114 .- 0031-9007. ; 113:26

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We report on the first measurement of the fission barrier height in a heavy shell-stabilized nucleus. The fission barrier height of No-254 is measured to be B-f = 6.0 +/- 0.5 MeV at spin 15 (h) over bar and, by extrapolation, B-f = 6.6 +/- 0.9 MeV at spin 0 (h) over bar. This information is deduced from the measured distribution of entry points in the excitation energy versus spin plane. The same measurement is performed for Th-220 and only a lower limit of the fission barrier height can be determined: B-f (I) > 8 MeV. Comparisons with theoretical fission barriers test theories that predict properties of superheavy elements.

High-angular-momentum structures in Zn-64
- 2004

Ingår i: Physical Review C. Nuclear Physics. - 0556-2813 .- 1089-490X. ; 69, s. 1-034330

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- High-angular-momentum states in Zn-64 were populated in the Ca-40(Si-28,4p) reaction at a beam energy of 122 MeV. Evaporated, light, charged particles were identified by the Microball, while gamma rays were detected using the Gammasphere array. The main focus of this paper is on two strongly coupled, collective bands. The yrast band, which was previously known, has been linked to lower-lying states establishing the excitation energies and angular momenta of in-band states for the first time. The newly identified excited band decays to the yrast band but firm angular-momentum assignments could not be made. In order to interpret these structures cranked-Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations have been performed. The calculations have been extended to account for the distribution of nucleons within a configuration. The yrast collective band is interpreted as based on the pi(f(7/2))(-1)(p(3/2)f(5/2))(2)(g(9/2))(1)nu(p(3/2)f(5/2))(4)(g(9/2))(2) configuration. There are several possible interpretations of the second band but it is difficult to distinguish between the different possibilities.

gamma-Ray Spectroscopy at the Limits : First Observation of Rotational Bands in Lr-255
- 2009
-
Ingår i: Physical Review Letters. - 0031-9007 .- 1079-7114. ; 102:21, s. 212501-
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The rotational band structure of Lr-255 has been investigated using advanced in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopic techniques. To date, Lr-255 is the heaviest nucleus to be studied in this manner. One rotational band has been unambiguously observed and strong evidence for a second rotational structure was found. The structures are tentatively assigned to be based on the 1/2(-)[521] and 7/2(-)[514] Nilsson states, consistent with assignments from recently obtained alpha decay data. The experimental rotational band dynamic moment of inertia is used to test self-consistent mean-field calculations using the Skyrme SLy4 interaction and a density-dependent pairing force.
