Consistency of nucleon-transfer sum rules in well-deformed nuclei

B. P. Kay, J. P. Schiffer, S. J. Freeman +8

Nucleon-transfer sum rules have been assessed via a consistent reanalysis of cross-section data from neutron-adding (,) and -removing (,) reactions on well-deformed iso…

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…

First direct measurement of the intrinsic dipole moment in pear-shaped thorium isotopes

M. M. R. Chishti, D. O'Donnell, G. Battaglia +6

It is now well established that atomic nuclei composed of certain combinations of protons and neutrons can adopt reflection-asymmetric, or octupole-deformed, shapes at low excitati…

Rearrangement of valence neutrons in the neutrinoless double- decay of Xe

S. V. Szwec, B. P. Kay, T. E. Cocolios +13

A quantitative description of the change in ground-state neutron occupancies between Xe and Ba, the initial and final state in the neutrinoless double- decay of…

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.…

High-spin structure in K

P. -A. Söderström, F. Recchia, J. Nyberg +74

High-spin states of K have been populated in the fusion-evaporation reaction C(Si,np)K and studied by means of -ray spectroscopy techniques using one…
