- The helicity dependence of the (γ) over right arrow(p) over right arrow -+ peta reaction has been measured for the first time at a center-of-mass angle theta(eta)*= 70degrees in the photon energy range from 780 MeV to 790 MeV. The experiment, performed at the Mainz microtron MAMI, used a 4pi-detector system, a circularly polarized, tagged photon beam. and a longitudinally polarized frozen-spin target. The helicity 3/2 cross-section is found to be small and the results for helicity 1/2 agree with predictions from the MAID analysis.

- A high-quality double-polarization data set for the helicity dependence of the total and differential cross-sections for both gammap --> Npi channels in the Delta region has been obtained in the framework of the GDH experiment. The experiment, performed at the Mainz microtron MAMI, used a 4pi detection system, a circularly polarized photon beam, and a longitudinally polarized frozen-spin target. These data are included in the database to perform a multipole analysis to determine the properties of the Delta(1232)-resonance. For the resonant Delta(1232) multipoles we find a very good agreement with previous analyses, while the nonresonant ones show significant deviations.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- High-spin states in Cu-59 were populated using the fusion-evaporation reaction Si-28 + Ca-40 at a beam energy of 122 MeV. The Gammasphere Ge-detector array in conjunction with the 4pi charged-particle detector array Microball allowed for the detection of gamma-rays in coincidence with evaporated light particles. The resulting extensive high-spin decay scheme of Cu-59 is presented, which comprises more than 320 gamma-ray transitions connecting about 150 excited states. Their spins and parities have been assigned via directional correlations of gamma-rays emitted from oriented states. Average quadrupole moments of rotational bands have been determined from the analysis of residual Doppler shifts. Shell model calculations in the fp shell are invoked to study some of the low-spin states, while the experimental characteristics of the rotational bands are analyzed in the configuration-dependent cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky (CNS) approach.

Magic gaps and intruder levels in triaxially superdeformed nuclei

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Nuclear shell model calculations based on a modified harmonic-oscillator potential result in amazingly stable triaxial nuclear shapes. Major gaps in the single-particle energy spectra at proton number 71 and neutron number 94 combine constructively at low and intermediate rotational frequencies. At high frequencies, gaps at proton number 72 and neutron number 97 combine in an equally favourable way. The sizes of the gaps may be as large as 35% of the values for the gaps at the classical magic numbers 50 and 82 at spherical shape. The dependence on the positions of the intruder levels in forming the gaps is discussed. Experimentally observed rotational bands in lutetium (Z = 71) and hafnium (Z = 72) appear in isotopes and frequency ranges, which are consistent with the gaps in the theoretical single-particle energy spectra.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The beta -decays of the neutron-rich nuclei Be-12 and Ne-29 have been studied. The statistical correlations between the almost identical half-lives of Be-12 and its daughter B-12 are analysed for a large sample of Be-12 decay data. Stringent mutual bounds are obtained on the parameter set, leading to a precise determination of the Be-12 half-life of 21.50 +/- 0.04 ms. From a simultaneous detection of beta -particles and neutrons from the decay of Ne-29 the neutron emission probability, P-n, is determined to 17 +/- 5%. No indication of two-neutron emission is seen from this nucleus. An upper limit of 2.2% (90% confidence level) is established for P-2n.

First observation of gamma-rays from the proton emitter Au-171

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- 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.

- 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.

- Neutron deficient nuclei near Sn-100 have been produced by fragmentation of a 1 (.) A GeV Sn-112 beam. The fragments were separated, identified and stopped in a highly segmented silicon strip detector stack. This detector measured the total energy of emitted beta(+)-particles. gamma-radiation was measured with surrounding detectors. The half-lives for many nuclides have been determined for the first time and give important information for the following topics: For the heaviest particle-stable odd-odd nuclei Rh-90, Ag-94 and In-98 we observed for the first time fast beta-decays, compatible with superallowed Fermi transitions and confirmed such decays for 78y, 82 Nb and Tc. We have also observed 'long-lived T = 0 states in some of these nuclei. We measured the half-lives of all rp-process waiting-point nuclei from _Zr up to addition we find the proton drip line nucleus Y-77 to decay dominantly via beta-decay, To study the Gamov-Teller strength in the beta-decay near the doubly magic Sn-102 we measured the half-life, beta- and gamma-spectrum of Sn-102. We propose a level scheme for the daughter nuclide In-102 and deduce the Qamov-Teller strength (B-GT = 4.0 +/- 0.6). This is one of the largest values known.

Cranking in isospace

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The response of isovector and isoscalar pair fields to generalized rotation in isospace is studied. Analytical expressions for constant gap solutions for different limiting cases of the model are derived. In particular, the connections between gauge angles among pairing gaps and the position of the iso-cranking axis are investigated in N = Z nuclei. The two domains of collective and noncollective rotation in space are generalized to isospace. The amplitudes for pair-transfer of T = 0 and T = 1 pairs are calculated. It is shown that the structure of the T = 0 state in odd-odd nuclei prevents any enhancement of pair transfer also in the presence of strong isoscalar pairing correlations. The energy differences of the T = 0 and T = 1 excitations in odd-odd nuclei are qualitatively reproduced by Total-Routhian-Surface calculations.

- Isomers in N = 83 isotones of Z = 60 66 were studied systematically. Their spins and parities arc,49/2(+) and 27(+) for odd and odd-odd nuclei, respectively. Nearly constant excitation energies of these isomers indicated a decrease of a Z = 64 shell gap energy as Z decreases from 64 to 60 within the framework of a deformed independent-particle model (DIPM). Their configurations are [v(f(tau/2)h(9/2)i(13/2)), pi(h(11/2))(2)](49/2+) and [v(f(7/2)h(9/2)i(13/2)), pi(h(11/2))(2)(d(5/2))(-1)](27+) for odd and odd-odd nuclei, respectively. The shape of the yrast status changes suddenly at spin 49/2(odd) and 27(odd-odd) from a near spherical to an oblate shape. Transitions from isomers are highly hindered because of the shape changes. They may be categorized to be shape isomers. The development of a secondary beam produced by using these high-spin isomers is also described.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Theoretical studies of broad states in the few-body systems beyond the neutron drip line have been performed. We introduce a theoretical model which allows to incorporate the initial structure of colliding nuclei, reaction mechanism, few-body effects and final-state interactions in studies of broad unbound states. The model is directly related to the sudden-removal approximation for high-energy knock-out or break-up reactions. We apply this model to qualitative studies of some general properties of broad few-body states including correlations for emitted fragments. The theoretical ideas are illustrated mainly using the example of 5 H. The prospect for observation of broad continuum structures corresponding to the tetraneutron 4 n is also discussed.

Coexisting wobbling and quasiparticle excitations in the triaxial potential well of Lu-163

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- High-spin states of the nucleus Lu-163 have been populated through the fusion-evaporation reaction La-139(Si-29, 5n) with a beam energy of 157 MeV. In addition to the two lowest excited triaxial strongly deformed (TSD) bands, recently interpreted as one- and two-phonon wobbling excitations, a third excited TSD band has been firmly established decaying to the yrast TSD band. The assignment of this band as a three-quasiparticle band shows together with the normal deformed (ND) level scheme the presence not only of shape coexistence between ND and TSD structures, but also an interplay of wobbling and quasiparticle excitations in the triaxial strongly deformed potential well of Lu-163.

- 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.

- High-spin states have been studied in Kr-72 and Br-72 using the Ca-40 + Ca-40 and Ar-36 + Ca-40 reactions at 164 and 145 MeV, respectively. The properties and configurations of the high-spin bands observed have been interpreted using impaired cranked Nilssou-Strutinsky (CNS), and for Kr-72, paired cranked relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov (CRHB) calculations. In Kr-72 a new band has been identified that has the properties expected for the doubly aligned S-band configuration. In Br-72 the previously known bands have been extended to higher spin. This has lead to a re-interpretation of the configurations.

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.

Experimental evidence for tunneling in the decay of superdeformed states

- A systematic study of the depopulation of superdeformed rotational bands in neutron-deficient A approximate to 80-90 nuclei has been performed. We observed a correlation between the rotational frequency at which the decay out of the superdeformed bands takes place and the difference between the transition quadrupole moments of states in the superdeformed bands and high-lying states with normal deformation. The observation may constitute direct experimental evidence that the commonly adopted tunneling picture for the decay of superdeformed states is valid.

- 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.

The features of four dipole bands have been determined and compared with tilted-axis cranking model calculations indicating that they are magnetic rotational bands. A transition from regular to irregular bands has been found approaching N = 82 demonstrating that this is a general phenomenon in nuclei near a double-shell closure.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- For a level scheme investigation of Gd-144 an experiment with the gamma-spectrometer EUROBALL III has been carried out and lifetimes have been measured with the gamma-spectrometer GASP using the Doppler-shift attenuation method. The high-spin states have been populated in these experiments by means of the Mo-100(Ti-48,4n) reaction at 215 MeV and the Cd-114(S-36,6n) reaction at E = 182 MeV, respectively. The known quadrupole band has been modified and a new one has been established. Reduced E2 transition probabilities B(E2) were determined for seven members of these quadrupole bands. They show values between approximate to60 and 130 W.u. and this considerable enhancement gives evidence for a significant nuclear deformation. A (pih(11/2))(2) circle times (vh(11/2))(-2) configuration may be assigned to one of the quadrupole bands according to total Routhian surface calculations. The spin dependence of the B(E2) values has been explained by IBM calculations involving high-spin quasiparticle excitations.

- The exclusive H-2 (He-3, t)2p reaction has been studied at 2 GeV for energy transfers up to 500 MeV and triton angles up to 3.4degrees. The protons were measured in the large acceptance magnetic detector DIOGENE, in coincidence with the forward tritons detected in a dedicated magnetic arm. The energy transfer spectra extend well above the pion threshold. However, in the region of Delta excitation, the yield is less than 10% of the inclusive H-2(He-3, t) cross-section, which indicates the small contribution of the DeltaN --> NN process. The angular distributions of the two protons in their center of mass have been analysed as a function of energy transfer and triton angle and a Legendre polynomial decomposition has been achieved. These data have been compared to a model based on a coupled-channel approach for describing the NN and NDelta systems.
