Spins and magnetic moments of 58;60;62;64Mn ground states and isomers

H. Heylen, C. Babcock, J. Billowes +16

The odd-odd 54;56;58;60;62;64Mn isotopes (Z = 25) were studied using bunched-beam collinear laser spectroscopy at ISOLDE, CERN. From the measured hyperfine spectra the spins and ma…

Measurement of the branching ratio for beta-delayed alpha decay of 16N

J. Refsgaard, O. S. Kirsebom, E. A. Dijck +10

While the 12C(a,g)16O reaction plays a central role in nuclear astrophysics, the cross section at energies relevant to hydrostatic helium burning is too small to be directly measur…

Low-energy Coulomb excitation of Fe and Mn following in-beam decay of Mn

L. P. Gaffney, J. Van de Walle, B. Bastin +26

Sub-barrier Coulomb-excitation was performed on a mixed beam of Mn and Fe, following in-trap decay of Mn at REX-ISOLDE, CERN. The trapping and charge b…
