Nuclear resonance fluorescence in94Mo,95Mo and96Mo

Using gaseous sources of Tc₂O₇ containing the radioactive isotopes⁹⁴Tc,⁹⁵Tc and⁹⁶Tc, levels at 871.0keV (⁹⁴Mo), 765.8, 820.6, 947.8, 1074.0keV (⁹⁵Mo) and 778.3keV (⁹⁶Mo) have been excited. From the effective cross sections for nuclear resonance scattering and from the lifetimes of the 947.8, 1074.0 and 778.3keV levels known from Coulomb excitation experiments the profiles of theγ-lines have been determined. A broadening of theγ-lines due to Coulomb explosion of the molecules has been observed. Making use of the line profiles, lifetimes ofΤ=(6.4±1.0) ps andΤ=(0.90 ± 0.20) ps have been determined for the 765.8 and 820.6keV levels, respectively. The angular distribution of the resonantly scattered radiation yields an amplitude ratioδ for the mixed M1 E2 765.8keV transition ofδ=0.14 _?0.009 ^+0.08 . TheB(E2) from a Coulomb excitation experiment and the lifetimeΤ from the present experiment yield ¦δ¦=0.07±0.01 for the 820.6keV transition.     

Proton-neutron structure of collective excitations in 94Mo

Due to the recent development of radioactive beam production, various direct reaction studies in reversed kinematics have been made to investigate the behavior of the N = 20 shell closure in the neutron-rich region. Coulomb excitation, proton inelastic scattering, and fragmentation of unstable nuclei have been studied with γ-ray detection.

Interplay of valence-shell clusters and the vibrational field in94Mo and95Mo

The properties of⁹⁴Mo and⁹⁵Mo nuclei, which are typical representatives of N=52 and N=53 nuclei, respectively, are described in the cluster-vibrational field coupling model in natural representation (without parameter fitting). The interplay of few valenceshell neutrons and vibrational degree of freedom gives rise to the coexistence of quasivibrational, quasirotational, and clustering phenomena.     

Properties of electromagnetic transitions from high-spin states in94Mo

The multipole mixing ratios of transitions from 6⁺ and 8⁺ states in⁹⁴Mo, following the decay of⁹⁴Tc, have been measured by means ofγγ angular correlations. The spin of the 2423.4 keV state, being important for the interpretation ofγ cascades feeding this level, has been firmly established as 6⁺ by a method in which the angular correlation data are utilized in a non-conventional way. Furthermore, properties of electromagnetic transitions in⁹⁴Mo have been calculated in the shell model framework and are compared with the corresponding experimental quantities.     

Proton-neutron mixed-symmetry 3(+)(ms) state in 94Mo

We identify a Jpi = 3(+)(ms) state in 94Mo. This identification is based on six M1 and E2 strengths and is the first identification of a 3(+)(ms) state from B(M1) and B(E2) values. The transition strengths were determined from the measurement of Doppler shifts, branching ratios, and E2/M1 mixing ratios, obtained from gammagamma directional correlations following the 91Zr(alpha,n) reaction and the beta(+) decay of (94)Tc(m). The interacting boson model agrees with the observations, which prove the 2(+) mixed-symmetry states to be a building block in nuclear structure.

Detailed Description of Mixed Symmetry States in 94Mo Using Interacting Boson Model

We have investigated the low-lying collective states and electromagnetic transitions in 94Mo within the framework of the interacting boson model. The influence of model parameters on the energy levels and electromagnetic properties has been investigated. The analysis of the obtained results and the parameter values predict that the 23+state is the lowest mixed symmetry state with pure F = Fmax - 1 in this nucleus. The calculated results predicate that the 25+ (two-Q-phonon) mixed symmetry state is closed to the J = 2+ at 2.870 MeV in the experimental data, and the 2.965 MeV state is the lowest mixed symmetry with J = 3+.     

Energy levels of 92Nb and 94Tc from 92Zr, 94Mo(p,nγ)92Nb, 94Tc

The γ-decays of the energy levels of ⁹²Nb and ⁹⁴Tc were measured following the ⁹²Zr(p, n)⁹²Nb and ⁹⁴Mo(p, n)⁹⁴Tc reactions. For ⁹²Nb the γ-ray thresholds were measured and a detailed excitation function was obtained near the ⁹³Zr ground-state isobaric analog resonance. Also, γ-γ coincidence measurements with two Ge(Li) detectors were made for both ⁹²Nb and ⁹⁴Tc. The coincidence measurements determined ten energy levels in ⁹²Nb and two levels in ⁹⁴Tc. A comparison with particle transfer reactions is used to elucidate the structure of ⁹²Nb levels observed here but not seen in the transfer reactions.     

Describing of the properties of quadrupole states in a 94Mo nucleus with skyrme interaction

The influence of coupling between simple and complex configurations on the probabilities of E2 and M1 transitions between vibrational quadrupole states is investigated. The finite rank separable approximation for the Skyrme effective forces is used. Properties of the low-energy spectrum for quadrupole excitations in ⁹⁴Mo nucleus are considered.     

Description of spectrum and electromagnetic transitions in ~(94)Mo through the proton-neutron interacting boson model

We investigated the properties of low-lying states in ~(94)Mo within the framework of the proton-neutron interacting boson model(IBM-2), with special focus on the characteristics of mixed-symmetry states. We calculated level energies and M1 and E2 transition strengths. The IBM-2 results agree with the available quantitative and qualitative experimental data on ~(94)Mo. The properties of mixed-symmetry states can be well described by IBM-2 given that the energy of the d proton boson is different from that of the neutron boson, especially for the transition of B(M1, 4_2~+→ 4_1~+).     

High-energy-resolution inelastic electron and proton scattering and the multiphonon nature of mixed-symmetry 2+ states in 94Mo

High-energy-resolution inelastic electron scattering (at the S-DALINAC) and proton scattering (at iThemba LABS) experiments permit a thorough test of the nature of proposed one- and two-phonon symmetric and mixed-symmetric 2+ states of the nucleus 94Mo. The combined analysis reveals the one-phonon content of the mixed-symmetry state and its isovector character suggested by microscopic nuclear model calculations. The purity of two-phonon 2+ states is extracted.

We calculated level energies and M1 and E2 transition strengths. The IBM-2 results agree with the available quantitative and qualitative experimental data on ⁹⁴Mo.

Penning-trap mass measurements on <Superscript>92, 94-98, 100</Superscript>Mo with JYFLTRAP

Penning-trap measurements on stable ^{92, 94-98, 100}Mo isotopes have been performed with relative accuracy of \(\ensuremath 1\cdot 10^{-8}\) with the JYFLTRAP Penning-trap mass spectrometer by using ⁸⁵Rb as a reference. The Mo isotopes have been found to be about 3keV more bound than given in the Atomic Mass Evaluation 2003 (AME03). The results confirm that the discrepancy between the ISOLTRAP and JYFLTRAP data for ^101-105Cd isotopes was due to an erroneous value in the AME03 for ⁹⁶Mo used as a reference at JYFLTRAP. The measured frequency ratios of Mo isotopes have been used to update mass-excess values of 30 neutron-deficient nuclides measured at JYFLTRAP.     

Limiter Biasing Experiments in TEXTOR-94

Particle collection by the ALT-II belt limiter in the TEXTOR-94 tokamak is exclusively limited to the parallel outflux because the scoop walls that are oriented parallel to the field lines obstruct the poloidal E×B mass flow. With normal B _tor direction (E×B towards the scoops), a threefold decrease of plenum pressure is measured during negative biasing, while with reversed B _tor (E×B away from the scoops), a 60% pressure increase is observed. This behaviour is exactly opposite to that observed in X-point divertors. A simple fluid model explains this apparent contradiction, and gives good quantitative agreement with measurements of the parallel Mach number in the SOL. The essential physics is governed by the Bohm-Chodura criterion.
