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…
Spectroscopy of 46Ar by the (t,p) two-neutron transfer reaction
K. Nowak, K. Wimmer, S. Hellgartner +24
States in the nucleus Ar have been studied by a two-neutron transfer reaction at REX-ISOLDE (CERN). A beam of radioactive at an energy of 2.16~AMeV and a trit…
Discovery of the shape coexisting 0+ state in 32Mg by a two neutron transfer reaction
K. Wimmer, T. Kröll, R. Krücken +36
The Island of Inversion nucleus 32Mg has been studied by a (t,p) two neutron transfer reaction in inverse kinematics at REX-ISOLDE. The shape coexistent excited 0+ state in 32Mg ha…
