Future directions in nuclear decay at FRIB and beyond
Garrett B. King, Ayala Glick-Magid, Grigor Sargsyan +38
Motivated by the opportunities presented for studies relevant to nuclear structure, astrophysics, and fundamental symmetries with nuclear decay, the Facility for Rare Isotope…
Beta-decay Half Lives beyond Ca: A Systematic Survey of Decay Properties approaching the Neutron Dripline
W. -J. Ong, Z. Y. Xu, R. Grzywacz +83
In an experiment performed at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) using the FRIB Decay Station initiator (FDSi), 15 new half lives of isotopes near Ca were measured.…
Universal Effective Charges in the and Shells
T. H. Ogunbeku, J. M. Allmond, T. J. Gray +79
The 247-keV state in Sc, populated in the decay of Ca, is reported here as a nanosecond isomer with a half-life of 26.0(22) ns. The state is interpreted as the $…
First experimental test of the ratio method for nuclear-reaction analysis
S. Ota, P. Capel, G. Christian +9
Nuclear halos are very exotic quantal structures observed far from stability. Because of their short lifetime, they are mostly studied through reactions. The ratio method offers a…
First Experimental Test of the Ratio Method
S. Ota, P. Capel, G. Christian +9
The ratio is a new reaction observable suggested to extract accurately structure information on halo nuclei. It corresponds to the ratio of differential cross sections for scatteri…
