- Preliminary lifetime values have been measured for a number of near-yrast states in the odd-A transitional nuclei Cd-107 and Pd-103. The reaction used to populate the nuclei of interest was Mo-98(C-12, 3nx alpha)Cd-107, Pd-103, with the beam delivered by the tandem accelerator of the Wright Nuclear Structure Laboratory at an incident beam energy of 60 MeV. Our experiment was aimed at the investigation of collective excitations built on the unnatural parity, v h(11/2) orbital, specifically by measuring the B(E2) values of decays from the excited levels built on this intrinsic structure, using the Doppler Recoil Distance Method. We report lifetimes and associated transition probabilities for decays from the 15/2(-) and the 19/2(-) states in Cd-107 and the first measurement of the 15/2- state in Pd-103. These results suggest that neither a simple rotational or vibrational interpretation is sufficient to explain the observed structures.

Two-phonon octupole excitation in 146Gd
- 2006

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The excited states in 146Gd have been re-investigated with the 144Sm(α,2n) reaction using a modern Ge γ-ray array including a polarimeter. Amongst the non-yrast states populated in this reaction we have identified the aligned 6 + member of the two-phonon octupole quartet from the observation of the E3 branching to the one phonon 3 - state. Our results represent the first observation of a 6 +→ 3 -→0 + E3 cascade in an even-even nucleus.

First identification of gamma-rays in Te-106 using recoil decay tagging technique
- 2006

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- 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.

Neutron-deficient N≈126 Nuclei Produced in 238U Fragmentation : Population of High-spin States
- 2006
-
In: Frontiers in Nuclear Structure, Astrophysics, and Reactions - FINUSTAR. - : AIP. - 0735403236 - 9780735403239 ; 831, s. 114-118

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The population of metastable states produced in relativistic-energy fragmentation of a 238U beam has been measured. For states with high angular momentum, I=17 and I=21.5, a higher population than expected has been observed, with the discrepancy increasing with angular momentum. By considering two sources for the angular momentum, related to single-particle and collective motions, a much improved description of the experimental results can be obtained. In addition, new results on the structure of 208Fr, 211Ra and 216Ac are reported.

Lifetimes of high-spin states in 74Kr
- 2006
-
In: AIP Conference Proceedings. - : AIP. - 0094-243X. - 0735403236 - 9780735403239 ; 831, s. 283-287

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- High-spin states in Kr-74 were studied using the 40Ca(40Ca,alpha 2p)74Kr fusion evaporation reaction at a beam energy of 165 MeV with Gammasphere and Microball and at a beam energy of 185 MeV with Euroball and Isis muli-detector arrays. Lifetimes of the high-spin states for the ground state band and the favoured negative parity band have been determined using the Doppler-shift attenuation method. The deduced transition quadrupole moments show a marginal decrease as a function of spin, suggesting that the rotational bands do not terminate at the maximum spin I=Imax.

Probe of triple shape coexistence in neutron deficient polonium nuclei

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- γ-ray transitions in the neutron deficient 190,197Po nuclei have been identified. The yrast band of 190Po has been extended up to a spin and parity of 14+ and is found to display similar systematic behaviour to isotones 186Hg and 188Pb above the 4+ level, thus confirming its prolate nature. In 197Po the band built upon the 13/2+ isomer has been extended up to a spin and parity of 33/2+, while the non-yrast side-band has been observed for the first time. The behaviour of 197Po is found to be similar to that of the nearby even-mass isotopes, which is consistent with the model in which the i13/2 neutron is weakly coupled to the states in the even-even core.
