The new neutron-rich isotope ²⁰⁸Hg has been identified for the first time from the reaction products in fully-stopping thick ^nat.Pb target bombarded by 30MeV/u ¹²C beam provided by the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou.Assignment of the nuclide ²⁰⁸Hg was based on the measurements of the deacy γ energy and halflife of its daughter ²⁰⁸Ti,which was grown up with ²⁰⁸Hg β-deacy.The half-life of ²⁰⁸Hg β-deacy was determined to be 42+23－12 min.The average production cross section of ²⁰⁸Hg over the incident energy region from Coulomb barrier to 30MeV/u is found to be 1.1±0.5μb.     

Temperatures and Excitation Energies of Hot Nuclei in Reactions of 40Ar+natAg,209Bi at MeV/u

Coincidence measurements of fission fragment and light charged particle have been perfotrmed for the reactions of ⁴⁰Ar+^natAg,²⁰⁹Bi at E/A=25MeV using 4 PPAC and 11 sets of ΔE-E telescopes.Angular correlations of fission fragment were ploted as a function of the folding angle between the two detected fission fragments.The linear momentum transfer distributions were derived by measuring angular correlations.The backward spectra of light particles detected in coincidence with fission fragments having different average〈LMT〉are analyzed with Maxwell distribution.After some corrections the initial temperatures of the hot nuclei are determined from the energy spectra.The excitation energies corresponding to the different average〈LMT〉are obtained considering the reaction Q values and pre-equilibrum emission.In the central collision of the ⁴⁰Ar+^natAg,²⁰⁹Bi reactions,excitation energies are measured to be about 4.2MeV/u,2.4MeV/u and temperatures about 6.1MeV,5.5MeV,respecdvely.In semi-central collision,excitaionen energies are measured to be about 3.5MeV/u,1.9MeV/u and temperatures about 5.8MeV,4.8MeV respectively.

Isospin Effect on Relative State Population Temperature in the Reactions 40Ar+ 112,124Sn at 30MeV/u

An array of 13 detector telescopes has been used for detecting small-angle particle-particle correlations in the reactions ⁴⁰Ar+^112,124Sn at 30MeV/u. The α-α correlation functions were extracted from two-particle coincident events. A three-body trajectory code MENEKA was used to calculate the background correlation function. The detection efficiency was calculated by using the Monte-Carlo method. After subtracting the background correlation and making the detection efficiency correction, the temperatures of 4.18±0.25 0.21 MeV and 4.10±0.22 0.20MeV are obtained from relative populations of ⁸Be states for the reaction systems with different isospin,⁴⁰Ar+¹¹²Sn and ⁴⁰Ar+¹²⁴Sn, respectively. From the relationship between the state population temperature and outgoing particle energies, it is found that the emission temperature decreases with increase of the particle energies for both studied reaction systems. For the neutron deficient system ⁴⁰Ar+¹¹²Sn the emission temperature is 5.13±0.30 0.26MeV for the lower emitting particle energies and 3.87±0.37 0.29MeV for the higher emitting particle energies. And for the neutron rich system ⁴⁰Ar+¹²⁴Sn the emission temperature is 5.39±0.30 0.26MeV for the lower emitting particle energies and 3.32± 0.28 0.23MeV for the higher emitting particle energies. This kind of isospin dependence is discussed.

Isospin Effect on the Emission Mechanism of Hot Nuclei in 35MeV/u 40Ar +112Sn/124Sn Reactions

As an extension of radioactive ion beam physics, the research on isospin dependent properties of hot nuclei has increasingly attracted considerable interest. The isospin effect on the decay of hot nuclei in reactions 35MeV/u ⁴⁰Ar+¹¹²Sn/¹²⁴Sn has been investigared. It is concluded that due to Coulomb repulsion and instability, proton-rich hot nuclei probably emit prides such as a with high energy to increase their neutron-proton ratio. Moreover, the decay chain for those particles is seemingly long and the emission Probability is high. Thus, the conventional observations, for instance, the ‘slope temperature’ extracted from energy spectrum, may very appreciably with the measured particles.     

Relaxation of Isospin Degree of Freedom in the Reactions 36Ar+112,124Sn at 35MeV/u

Isotope ratios,defined as the yield ratio of two isotopes with the same charge,were analyzed as a function of kinetic energy of outgoing particles at 20° in the reactions of ⁴⁰Ar+^112,124Sn and 5°in³⁶Ar+^112,124Sn at incident energy of 35MeV/u. Isotope ratios between the neutron-deficient isotopes and stable isotope increase with kinetic energy,while those between the neutron rich isotopes and stable isotope decrease. This different behavior was observed similar for both ¹¹²Sn and ¹²⁴Sn targets. The isotope ratios show rather obvious target dependence at 20° and little target dependence at 5°. As the outgoing energy getting down,the N/Z ratio of the fragmentation products at 5° diverts gradually from the N/Z ratio of the projectile to that of the system. These observations indicate that the isospin degree of freedom does not reach complete equilibrium in the peripheral or semi-peripheral collision at this bombarding energy.     

Study of Collective Rotational Bands in 179Pt

High-spin states in ¹⁷⁹Pt have been studied experimentally using the ¹⁴⁹Sm(³⁵Cl, p4n) fusion-evaporation reaction at beam energies of 164—180MeV. Measurements of γ-ray excitation function, X-γ coincidences and γ-γ-t coincidences were carried out with 13 BGO(AC) HPGe and 3 LOAX detectors. Based on the measured results, three rotational bands built on intrinsic states assigned to the 1/2^－[521], 5/2^－[512] and 7/2⁺[633] Nilsson configurations have been established for ¹⁷⁹Pt. It has been observed that the aligned angular moment in the 1/2^－[521] band increases suddenly around hω=0.27MeV. The big signature splitting has been observed in the 7/2⁺[633] band. These phenomena are discussed by referring to the systematics of the level structure in the Pt isotopes and isotones of ¹⁷⁹Pt.

Under conditions near the center of the Sun, it shows that ⁷Be atoms are completely ionized between R=0 to R=0.1217R_⊙. The newly calculated ⁷Be and ⁸B solar neutrino fluxes are about 4.00×10⁹cm^－2·s^－1 and 6.18×10⁶cm^－2·s^－1, while the corresponding predicted values of the standard solar model are 4.80×10⁹cm^－2·s^－1 and 5.15×10⁶cm^－2·s^－1,respectively. It will further increase the discrepancy between the observed and the predicted neutrino fluxes in Super Kamiokande neutrino experiment.     

A New Level Scheme of 127I

Study of in beam γ ray spectroscopy of ¹²⁷I has been performed using ¹²⁴Sn(⁷Li, 4n)¹²⁷I reaction at 32 MeV beam energy. A new level scheme of ¹²⁷I has been established including 25 new levels and 52 new γ transitions. Negative parity levels based on 11/2^－ π h_11/2 particle state have been observed up to (35/2^－) extending our knowledge of decoupled structures to the heavier iodine isotope. Two ΔI=2 yrast positive-parity levels have been proposed to be associated mainly with the πg_7/2 configuration due to observations of several strong inter band transitions. Two weakly populated ΔI=2 positive parity levels and a high-lying ΔI=1 cascade have been newly identified and tentatively assigned as πd_5/2 one-quasiparticle and three quasiparticle bands, respectively.

Radial Expansion Flow in Reactions of 40Ca+58Fe and 40Ca+58Ni

By means of using an isospin-dependent Boltzmann-Langevin equation which includes isospin-dependent symmetry energy, Coulomb energy, isospin-dependent nucleon-nucleon cross sections, Pauli blocking, and initialization, the radial expansion flow of reaction systems ⁴⁰Ca+⁵⁸Ni and ⁴⁰Ca+⁵⁸Fe at 53, 100, 150, and 200 MeV/u in the central collisions were studied. It has shown that the more neutron rich system exhibits smaller radial expansion flow. It was found that the neutron rich system had smaller threshold energy which may provide a new method to determine the isospin dependent nuclear equation of state from calculated result and linear fitting result.     

Experimental Study of High-Spin States in Deformed Odd-Odd 180 Ir

High spin states in deformed odd-odd ¹⁸⁰Ir have been investigated using the ¹⁵⁴Sm (³¹P, 5nγ)¹⁸⁰Ir reaction through the measurements of excitation functions at 150, 155, 160, 165 and 170 MeV beam energies, K X-γ and γ-γ coincidences at 160 MeV. A new level scheme composed of 5 rotational bands has been established. According to the band structure characteristics and the deduced in band B(M1)/B(E2) ratios, the quasiparticle configurations and spin and parity have been proposed to the observed bands. The neutron AB crossing is observed at hω_c≈0.26 MeV for the π1/2^－[541]⊙ν1/2^－[521] and π1/2^－[541]⊙ν5/2^－[512] bands. This AB crossing frequency is close to that in the ν5/2^－[512] band of ¹⁷⁹Os indicating the loss of intruder nature of the π1/2 - orbit. Gradual alignment gain in both the π9/2^－[514]⊙ν7/2⁺[633] and π9/2^－ν5/2^－[512] bands is observed which is similar to the low spin anomaly in alignment in the πh_11/2,πd_5/2 and πi_13/2 bands of neighboring Ir and Re isotopes. Different alignment properties have been discussed in the framework of cranked shell model, and a larger quadrupole deformation is suggested for the bands with π9/2^－[514] orbit involved.
