Independent Validation of Octupole Collectivity in radium-224 through lifetime measurements of low-lying negative-parity states
D. White, D. O'Donnell, A. Avaa +30
The nucleus Ra is a key benchmark for octupole deformation and for theoretical descriptions of enhanced Schiff moments in reflection-asymmetric nuclei. While Coulomb-excita…
A new avenue in the search for CP violation: Moessbauer spectroscopy of 227-Ac
M. Scheck, R. Chapman, J. Dobaczewski +5
This work proposes a new avenue in the search for CP-violating odd-electric and even-magnetic nuclear moments. A promising candidate to find such moments in the ground state is the…
Model-independent determination of the dipole response of Zn using quasi-monoenergetic and linearly-polarized photon beams
D. Savran, J. Isaak, R. Schwengner +23
[Background] Photon strength functions are an important ingredient in calculations relevant for the nucleosynthesis of heavy elements. The relation to the photoabsorption cross sec…
Structure of high-lying levels populated in the Y Zr decay
K. R. Mashtakov, V. Yu. Ponomarev, M. Scheck +32
The nature of levels of Zr below the -decay value of Y has been investigated in high-resolution -ray spectroscopy following the decay as wel…
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…
