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…
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…
Near-threshold photoproduction on the deuteron
B. Strandberg, K. G. Fissum, J. R. M. Annand +29
The first experimental investigation of the near-threshold cross section for incoherent photoproduction on the deuteron d -> pp is presented. The experimental techn…
Characterizing the atomic mass surface beyond the proton drip line via a-decay measurements of the s1/2 ground state of 165Re and the h11/2 isomer in 161Ta
D. O'Donnell, R. D. Page, C. Scholey +33
The a-decay chains originating from the s1/2 and h11/2 states in 173Au have been investigated following fusion-evaporation reactions. Four generations of a radioactivities have bee…
