THE POSSIBILITY OF EXITENCE OF NEW ISOTOPE 65Se

A new beta-delayed proton precussor ⁶⁵Se has was probably produced via the reaction ⁴⁰Ca (²⁸Si,3n)⁶⁵Se and identified from its beta-delayed proton emission.A single proton group at 3.75±0.05MeV with half-life of 10.8±4.1/3.7ms was observed,corresponding to superallowed beta decay of ⁶⁵Se to the isobaric analog state of ⁶⁵As (the lowest T=3/2 state in ⁶⁵As) then proton emitting to the ground state of ⁶⁴Ge.Because of poor statistics further experimental effort is required to confirm this discovery.     

New Neutron-Rich Nuclide 185Hf

New neutron-rich nuclide ¹⁸⁵Hf has been identified for the first time.The ¹⁸⁵Hf was produced via the ¹⁸⁶W(n,2p)¹⁸⁵Hf reaction by 14MeV neutron irradiation of natural metallic tungsten powder and separated by radiochemical methods.The identification of ¹⁸⁵Hf was based on the observation of decay γ-ray of its daughter ¹⁸⁵Ta.A half-life of 3.5±0.6min was determined for ¹⁸⁵Hf by fitting the measured growth and decay curve of the 177.59keV γ-ray which is the strongest decay γ-ray of ¹⁸⁵Ta.In addition,a new γ-ray of 164.5±0.5keV was found and assigned to ¹⁸⁵Hf.

The very neutron-deficient nuclide ¹²⁹Pm was produced via the ⁹²Mo(⁴⁰Ca, p2n) reaction and identified for the first time by using the X-γ coincidence in combination with a He-jet tape transport system. From the decay of a 99keV γ ray which corresponds to the 5/2^－→1/2^－ transition in the daughter nucleus ¹²⁹Nd following the (EC+β⁺) decay of ¹²⁹Pm, the half-life of ¹²⁹Pm was determined to be 2.4(6)s.     

New Low-spin Levels in 76Se and Discussion of Its Yrast Band Structure

The decay of bromine–76 was studied using compton–suppressed spectrometer and high–purity ge detectors in singles and coincidence mode, respectively. bromine–76 was produced via two reactions,i. e.,⁷⁵As(α,3n)⁷⁶Br and ⁷⁶Se(p, n)⁷⁶Br.the results of these experiments verified the previously reported levels and gammas of ⁷⁶Se. in addition to the previously described transitions and levels, 39 new γ–rays and 15 new energy levels were found for the first time. spins and parities for new levels are proposed based on the calculated logft values, de–excitation modes of the observed states, and some nuclear reaction experiment results. a new decay scheme of ⁷⁶Br is proposed in the present work. combining with the high–spin states observed by the in–beam γ–ray spectroscopy of a previous decay work, the positive–parity yrast states were compared with the results from calculations in the framework of the projected shell model.     

Measurements of 79Se with AMS based on extracting molecular negative ions

A new method for measuring selenium-79 with AMS, which is based on extracting molecular negative ions, is described in this paper. According to the experimental results, the extraction ion form SeO₂^－ could depress the interference of Bromine-79 as much as 5 order levels, that is to say, the background of ⁷⁹Br can be deducted to ⁷⁹Br/Se≈10^－10. By the way, the chemical form of sample and preparation flow was also developed. Finally, three ⁷⁹Se AMS calibration standard samples with theoretical ⁷⁹Se/Se ratios of 5.06×10^－7, 6.87×10^－8, 5.40×10^－10 were obtained and the method of ⁷⁹Se measurement was set up, which actualized transmission and detection of ⁷⁹Se. By using our Bragg curve detector, the two isobars ⁷⁹Br and ⁷⁹Se could be partly identified to a certain extent and ⁷⁹Se can be identified from ⁷⁹Br about 1 order level. AMS measurements of the three calibration standard samples above were performed and good linearity was obtained. The sensitivity of the measurement is (5.16±1.80)×10^－11.

Experimental Evidence for the Superdeformation in 81Rb

High-spin states in ⁸¹Rb were populated in the ⁵⁵Mn(³⁰Si, 2p2n) reaction at 130 MeV. Prompt γγγ-charged particle coincidences were observed using the GASP spectrometer in conjunction with the ΔE-E silicon ball (ISIS).

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.
