Direct observation of and decay from a high-spin long-lived isomer in Ta
J. L. Chen, H. Watanabe, P. M. Walker +20
Ta (, ) is located in the neutron-rich region where a prolate-to-oblate shape transition via triaxial softness is predicted to take place. A pr…
Direct measurement of hexacontatetrapole, γ decay from Fe
T. Palazzo, A. J. Mitchell, G. J. Lane +11
The only proposed observation of a discrete, hexacontatetrapole () transition in nature occurs from the T = 2.54(2)-minute decay of Fe. However, there are confl…
Cosmogenic activation of sodium iodide
R. Saldanha, W. G. Thompson, Y. Y. Zhong +7
The production of radioactive isotopes by interactions of cosmic-ray particles with sodium iodide (NaI) crystals can produce radioactive backgrounds in detectors used to search for…
CLARION2-TRINITY: a Compton-suppressed HPGe and GAGG:Ce-Si-Si array for absolute cross-section measurements with heavy ions
T. J. Gray, J. M. Allmond, D. T. Dowling +26
The design and performance of a new Compton-suppressed HPGe and charged-particle array, CLARION2-TRINITY, are described. The TRINITY charged-particle array is comprised of 64 Ceriu…
Pulse Shape Discrimination of low-energy nuclear and electron recoils for improved particle identification in NaI:Tl
N. J. Spinks, L. J. Bignell, G. J. Lane +20
The scintillation mechanism in NaI:Tl crystals produces different pulse shapes that are dependent on the incoming particle type. The time distribution of scintillation light from n…
Electric monopole transition from the superdeformed band in Ca
E. Ideguchi, T. Kibédi, J. T. H. Dowie +14
The electric monopole () transition strength for the transition connecting the third 0 level, a "superdeformed" band head, to the "spherical" 0 ground state in do…
Simulation and background characterisation of the SABRE South experiment
E. Barberio, T. Baroncelli, L. J. Bignell +38
SABRE (Sodium iodide with Active Background REjection) is a direct detection dark matter experiment based on arrays of radio-pure NaI(Tl) crystals. The experiment aims at achieving…
Recoil imaging for directional detection of dark matter, neutrinos, and physics beyond the Standard Model
C. A. J. O'Hare, D. Loomba, K. Altenmüller +164
Recoil imaging entails the detection of spatially resolved ionization tracks generated by particle interactions. This is a highly sought-after capability in many classes of detecto…
First direct observation of isomeric decay in neutron-rich odd-odd Ta
Y. X. Watanabe, P. M. Walker, Y. Hirayama +19
De-excitation rays associated with an isomeric state of Ta were investigated. The isomers were produced in multinucleon transfer reactions between a Xe beam and…
Properties of 187Ta revealed through isomeric decay
P. M. Walker, Y. Hirayama, G. J. Lane +20
Mass-separated 187Ta in a high-spin isomeric state has been produced for the first time by multi-nucleon transfer reactions, employing an argon gas stopping cell and laser ionisati…
Monte Carlo simulation of the SABRE PoP background
M. Antonello, E. Barberio, T. Baroncelli +45
SABRE (Sodium-iodide with Active Background REjection) is a direct dark matter search experiment based on an array of radio-pure NaI(Tl) crystals surrounded by a liquid scintillato…
