New experimental constraint on the W()W cross section
A. C. Larsen, G. M. Tveten, T. Renstrøm +28
In this work, we present new data on the W() cross sections, utilizing a quasi-monochromatic photon beam produced at the NewSUBARU synchrotron radiation facil…
High resolution -ray spectroscopy using GALILEO array
D. Testov, J. J. Valiente-Dobón, D. Mengoni +36
The GALILEO -ray spectrometer has been constructed at the Legnaro National Laboratory of INFN (LNL-INFN). It can be coupled to advanced ancillary devices which allows nuclear s…
Core-coupled states and split proton-neutron quasi-particle multiplets in 122-126Ag
S. Lalkovski, A. M. Bruce, A. Jungclaus +60
Neutron-rich silver isotopes were populated in the fragmentation of a 136Xe beam and the relativistic fission of 238U. The fragments were mass analyzed with the GSI Fragment separa…
A saga on the -decay branching ratio of the Hoyle state
W. Paulsen, K. C. W. Li, S. Siem +12
The radiative branching ratio of the Hoyle state is crucial to estimate the triple- reaction rate in stellar environments at medium temperatures of to 2 GK. Knowledge o…
Statistical and non-statistical -decay properties of Zn
A. C. Larsen, M. Guttormsen, T. K. Eriksen +27
We present a study on the -decay properties of Zn using the Oslo method on Zn() data combined with Zn cross-section measurements at the…
Evolution of the -ray strength function in neodymium isotopes
M. Guttormsen, K. O. Ay, M. Ozgur +24
The experimental gamma-ray strength functions (gamma-SFs) of 142,144-151Nd have been studied for gamma-ray energies up to the neutron separation energy. The results represent a uni…
Shape evolution in even-mass Zr isotopes via lifetime measurements using the -coincidence technique
G. Pasqualato, S. Ansari, J. S. Heines +82
The Zirconium (Z = 40) isotopic chain has attracted interest for more than four decades. The abrupt lowering of the energy of the first state and the increase in the transiti…
Strong enhancement of level densities in the crossover from spherical to deformed neodymium isotopes
M. Guttormsen, Y. Alhassid, W. Ryssens +19
Understanding the evolution of level densities in the crossover from spherical to well-deformed nuclei has been a long-standing problem in nuclear physics. We measure nuclear level…
