Spectroscopy of 46Ar by the (t,p) two-neutron transfer reaction
K. Nowak, K. Wimmer, S. Hellgartner +24
States in the nucleus Ar have been studied by a two-neutron transfer reaction at REX-ISOLDE (CERN). A beam of radioactive at an energy of 2.16~AMeV and a trit…
The observation of vibrating pear shapes in radon nuclei: update
P. A. Butler, L. P. Gaffney, P. Spagnoletti +41
There is a large body of evidence that atomic nuclei can undergo octupole distortion and assume the shape of a pear. This phenomenon is important for measurements of electric-dipol…
Collectivity in the light radon nuclei measured directly via Coulomb excitation
L. P. Gaffney, A. P. Robinson, D. G. Jenkins +49
Background: Shape coexistence in heavy nuclei poses a strong challenge to state-of-the-art nuclear models, where several competing shape minima are found close to the ground state.…
High-spin structure in K
P. -A. Söderström, F. Recchia, J. Nyberg +74
High-spin states of K have been populated in the fusion-evaporation reaction C(Si,np)K and studied by means of -ray spectroscopy techniques using on…
Nuclear Level Density and -ray Strength Function of and the impact on the i-process
V. W. Ingeberg, S. Siem, M. Wiedeking +29
Proton- coincidences from reactions between a beam and a deuterated polyethylene target have been analyzed with the inverse-Oslo me…
Evolution of Octupole Deformation in Radium Nuclei from Coulomb Excitation of Radioactive Ra and Ra Beams
P. A. Butler, L. P. Gaffney, P. Spagnoletti +40
There is sparse direct experimental evidence that atomic nuclei can exhibit stable pear shapes arising from strong octupole correlations. In order to investigate the nature of octu…
