Shapes, Softness and Non-Yrast Collectivity in 186W

V. S. Prasher, A. J. Mitchell, C. J. Lister +23

Non-yrast, excited states in neutron-rich W were populated via inelastic-scattering reactions using beams of Xe nuclei accelerated to 725 and 800 MeV. Levels popula…

Evidence for rigid triaxial deformation in Ge from a model-independent analysis

A. D. Ayangeakaa, R. V. F. Janssens, S. Zhu +25

An extensive, model-independent analysis of the nature of triaxial deformation in Ge, a candidate for neutrinoless double-beta () decay, was carried out following mult…

Unexpected distribution of strength in the calcium isotopes at =30

H. L. Crawford, A. O. Macchiavelli, P. Fallon +30

The calcium isotopes have emerged as an important testing ground for new microscopically derived shell-model interactions, and a great deal of focus has been directed toward this r…

Single-particle and collective excitations in Ni

M. Albers, S. Zhu, A. D. Ayangeakaa +21

{\bf Background:} Level sequences of rotational character have been observed in several nuclei in the mass region. The importance of the deformation-driving and $…

Direct Evidence of Octupole Deformation in Neutron-Rich Ba

B. Bucher, S. Zhu, C. Y. Wu +31

The neutron-rich nucleus Ba (=11.5 s) is expected to exhibit some of the strongest octupole correlations among nuclei with mass numbers less than 200. Until no…

Independent measurement of the Hoyle state feeding from 12B using Gammasphere

M. Munch, M. Alcorta, H. O. U. Fynbo +28

Using an array of high-purity Compton-suppressed germanium detectors, we performed an independent measurement of the -decay branching ratio from to the second-…

Measurement of the Survival Probabilities for Hot Fusion Reactions

R. Yanez, W. Loveland, L. Yao +6

We have studied the fission-neutron emission competition in highly excited Hs (Z=108) (where the fission barrier is due to shell effects) formed by a hot fusion reaction. M…
