Simultaneous -ray and electron spectroscopy of Hg isotopes
M. Stryjczyk, B. Andel, J. G. Cubiss +48
Background: The mercury isotopes around are a well-known example of nuclei exhibiting shape coexistence. Mixing of configurations can be studied by measuring the monopole s…
Decay studies of the long-lived states in Tl
M. Stryjczyk, B. Andel, A. N. Andreyev +45
Decay spectroscopy of the long-lived states in Tl has been performed at the ISOLDE Decay Station at ISOLDE, CERN. The decay from the low-spin state in T…
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…
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…
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…
Analysis methods of safe Coulomb-excitation experiments with radioactive ion beams using the gosia code
M. Zielińska, L. P. Gaffney, K. Wrzosek-Lipska +7
With the recent advances in radioactive ion beam technology, Coulomb excitation at safe energies becomes an important experimental tool in nuclear-structure physics. The usefulness…
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.…
Shape coexistence in neutron-deficient Hg isotopes studied via lifetime measurements in Hg and two-state mixing calculations
L. P. Gaffney, M. Hackstein, R. D. Page +24
The neutron-deficient mercury isotopes, Hg, were studied with the Recoil Distance Doppler Shift (RDDS) method using the Gammasphere array and the Köln Plunger device. T…
