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…
