Revised value in the semi-magic nucleus Pb
C. M. Nickel, V. Werner, G. Rainovski +25
The lifetime of the state of Pb was measured in the Pb(O, O)Pb two-neutron transfer reaction by -ray spectroscopy employing the rec…
Complete set of bound negative-parity states in the neutron-rich 18N nucleus
S. Ziliani, M. Ciemała, F. C. L. Crespi +54
High-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy of 18N is performed with the Advanced GAmma Tracking Array AGATA, following deep-inelastic processes induced by an 18O beam on a 181Ta target…
Lifetime Measurements in the Even-Even Cd Isotopes
M. Siciliano, J. J. Valiente-Dobón, A. Goasduff +34
The heaviest N=Z doubly-magic nucleus, Sn, and the neighboring nuclei offer unique opportunities to investigate the properties of nuclear interaction in extreme conditions.…
Accessing tens-to-hundreds femtoseconds nuclear state lifetimes with low-energy binary heavy-ion reactions
M. Ciemala, S. Ziliani, F. C. L. Crespi +52
A novel Monte Carlo technique has been developed to determine lifetimes of excited states in the tens-to-hundreds femtoseconds range. The method is applied to low-energy heavy-ion…
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…
Testing ab initio nuclear structure in neutron-rich nuclei: lifetime measurements of second 2+ states in 16C and 20O
M. Ciemala, S. Ziliani, F. C. L. Crespi +91
To test the predictive power of ab initio nuclear structure theory, the lifetime of the second 2+ state in neutron-rich 20O, tau(2+_2 ) = 150(+80-30) fs, and an estimate for the li…
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…
Pairing-quadrupole interplay in the neutron-deficient tin nuclei: first lifetime measurements of low-lying states in Sn
M. Siciliano, J. J. Valiente-Dobón, A. Goasduff +67
The lifetimes of the low-lying excited states and have been directly measured in the neutron-deficient Sn isotopes. The nuclei were populated via a deep-ine…
