Evolution of the -ray strength function in neodymium isotopes

M. Guttormsen, K. O. Ay, M. Ozgur +24

The experimental gamma-ray strength functions (gamma-SFs) of 142,144-151Nd have been studied for gamma-ray energies up to the neutron separation energy. The results represent a uni…

Strong enhancement of level densities in the crossover from spherical to deformed neodymium isotopes

M. Guttormsen, Y. Alhassid, W. Ryssens +19

Understanding the evolution of level densities in the crossover from spherical to well-deformed nuclei has been a long-standing problem in nuclear physics. We measure nuclear level…

Energy dependence of the prompt -ray emission from the -induced fission of and

S. J. Rose, F. Zeiser, J. N. Wilson +22

Prompt fission -rays are responsible for approximately 5\% of the total energy released in fission, and therefore important to understand when modelling nuclear reactors. In thi…

Completing the nuclear reaction puzzle of the nucleosynthesis of 92Mo

G. M. Tveten, A. Spyrou, R. Schwengner +20

One of the greatest questions for modern physics to address is how elements heavier than iron are created in extreme, astrophysical environments. A particularly challenging part of…

Experimental level densities of atomic nuclei

M. Guttormsen, M. Aiche, F. L. Bello Garrote +24

It is almost 80 years since Hans Bethe described the level density as a non-interacting gas of protons and neutrons. In all these years, experimental data were interpreted within t…
