Exploring - and -decay-induced quenching of the Th nuclear-clock isomer in solid-state hosts
Y. Elskens, M. Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis, S. Arasada Pradeep +52
The radiative decay dynamics of an ensemble of Th nuclei embedded in CaF and MgF is investigated. The isomer is populated through decay of Ac…
The 76Cu conundrum remains unsolved
B. Olaizola, A. Illana, J. Benito +80
Near the doubly-magic nucleus \nuc{Ni}{78} (, ), there has been a decades-long debate on the existence of a long-lived isomer in \nuc{Cu}{76}. A recent mass measurement…
Refining the nuclear mass surface with the mass of Sn
L. Nies, D. Atanasov, M. Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis +17
Mass measurements with the ISOLTRAP mass spectrometer at CERN-ISOLDE improve mass uncertainties of neutron-deficient tin isotopes towards doubly-magic Sn. The mass uncertai…
Cr as a Doorway to the N = 40 Island of Inversion
L. Lalanne, M. Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis, D. D. Dao +24
This paper reports on the measurement of the ground-state spin and nuclear magnetic dipole moment of Cr. The radioactive ion beam was produced at the CERN-ISOLDE facility an…
Radiative Decay of the Th Nuclear Clock Isomer in Different Host Materials
S. V. Pineda, P. Chhetri, S. Bara +42
A comparative vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopy study conducted at ISOLDE-CERN of the radiative decay of the Th nuclear clock isomer embedded in different host materials is…
Ionization potential of radium monofluoride
S. G. Wilkins, H. A. Perrett, S. M. Udrescu +43
The ionization potential (IP) of radium monofluoride (RaF) was measured to be 4.969(2)[10] eV, revealing a relativistic enhancement in the series of alkaline earth monofluorides. T…
Radiative lifetime of the A 2Π1/2 state in RaF with relevance to laser cooling
M. Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis, S. G. Wilkins, P. Lassègues +38
The radiative lifetime of the (v=0) state in radium monofluoride (RaF) is measured to be 35(1) ns. The lifetime of this state and the related decay rate $Γ= 2.86(8…
Observation of the distribution of nuclear magnetization in a molecule
