Transition densities between the 01+, 21+, 41+, 02+, 22+, 11− and 31− states in 12C derived from the three-alpha resonating-group wave functions

All the multipole transition densities between the seven T = 0 states in ¹²C are calculated with the use of the microscopic 3α resonating-group wave functions which are obtained by dynamically solving the 3α relative motion with the total antisymmetrization taken into account exactly. The observed elastic and inelastic electron scattering form factors for the transition to the 2₁⁺, 4₁⁺, 0₂⁺, 1₁^?and 3₁^? states are well reproduced with no additional effective charge. The existence of a deformed intrinsic state for the 0₁⁺, 2₁⁺and 4₁⁺states is deduced by the analysis of the transition densities between them which are derived by the weak-coupling-type 3α wave functions; the intrinsic density distribution is illustrated. The monopole density distribution of the 0₂⁺, 2₂⁺ and 1₁^?, states is found to be much longer ranged than that of the 0₁⁺, 2₁⁺ and 4₁⁺ states; the 3₁^? state case is intermediate. On the basis of the transition densities between the 0₁⁺, 2₁⁺, 0₂⁺ and 2₂⁺ states, analysis is made of the transition between the shell-like states and the molecule-like states with a large spatial-structure change. Specific, effective nucleon-nucleon interactions are folded into the transition densities here obtained. The evident dependence of the radial shape of the folded nucleon-¹²C form factors on the choice of the interactions and the multi-step form factors for the excitation of the 0₂⁺, 1₁^? and 3₁^? states are discussed.     

Mean life of the 854 keV 02+ state in 74Se and the coexistence model

The mean life of the first excited 0₂⁺ state in ⁷⁴Se, only 219 keV above the first excited 2⁺ state at 635 keV, was measured to be 1.2±0.2 nsec, with delayed coincidence techniques. The 0₂⁺ state was populated by the decay of ⁷⁴Br produced via the ⁶⁰Ni(¹⁶O, pn)⁷⁴Br reaction. The extracted B(E2; 0₂⁺ → 20₁⁺) value is 14±2 s.p.u. which suggests that the 0₂⁺ state is collective. Application of a coexistence model in terms of spherical and deformed shapes is discussed for ⁷⁴Se.     

Properties of the absorption spectrum due to the Gamma;1+ → Γ4− transition

We present results for the absorption spectrum due to a localized Γ₁⁺ → Γ₄^? transition that take into account the properties of the linear electron- phonon (e-p) interactions transforming as Γ₁⁺, Γ₃⁺ and Γ₅⁺ in the excited electronic state, in the cases of strong and weak e-p interaction coupling. We show that in the strong e-p interaction coupling limit the asymmetric shape of the structured band is due to the commutation relations of the e-p interaction matrices. Moreover, in the weak coupling limit we present an expression for the spectrum line shape obtained by taking into account the time ordering of the e-p interaction matrices and the phonon propagators at all times. It is shown in the latter case that the densities of phonon states corresponding to the electronic excited state are different from those corresponding to the ground state, and the e-p coupling constants are redefined due to the Jahn-Teller interactions.     

Λc5He and Λc9Be charmed nuclei versus Λ5He and Λ9Be hypernuclei

A comparative study is made for _Λc⁵He and _Λc⁹Be charmed nuclei versus _Λ⁵He and _Λ⁹Be hypernuclei. The Λ_c(Λ)+α and Λ_c(Λ)+α+α systems are treated in a microscopic way. Within certain range of the Λ_cN interaction strength, the energy properties of Λ_c+α and Λ_c+α+α are calculated and discussed. Similarity between the energy spectra of the noted charmed nuclei and hypernuclei is suggested.     

Systematic study of the product((E(2_2~+)/E(2_1~+)) * B(E2)↑) through the asymmetric rotor model

A systematic study of the product((E(2_2~+)/E(2_1~+))*B(E2)↑) is carried out in the major shell space Z=50-82,N=82-126 within the framework of the asymmetric rotor model where the asymmetry parameter γ0reflects change in the nuclear structure.A systematic study of the product((E(2+)/E(2+))*B(E2)↑) with neutron number N is also discussed.The product((E(2_2~+)/E(2_1~+))*B(E2)↑) provides a direct correlation with the asymmetry parameter γ0.The effect of subshells is visible in Ba-Gd nuclei with N 82,but not in Hf-Pt nuclei with N 104.We study,for the first time,the dependency of the product((E(2_2~+)/E(2_1~+))*B(E2)↑) on the asymmetry parameterγ0.     

Deperturbation of the N2+ first negative group B2Σu+-X2Σg+

Twelve bands of the N₂⁺B²Σ_u⁺-X²Σ_g⁺ system, including v_B = 0–6 and v_X = 0–8, are reanalyzed. All effects of B²Σ_u⁺ ～ A²Π_u perturbations are explicitly considered. Despite the use of high precision (0.01 cm^?1) line measurements, no evidence for a perturber other than A²Π_u is obtained. Deperturbed constants for the B²Σ_u⁺ and X²Σ_g⁺ states are derived. The deperturbation is shown to be self-consistent and complete (excluding effects of the C²Σ_u⁺ state) by examining semiempirical relationships of the perturbation matrix elements with the spin-rotation constants of the B and X states and atomic spin-orbit parameters. A number of previous analyses of transitions involving the v_B = 3 and 5 levels are found to be incorrect.     

The vacuum uv emission spectrum of the 15N22+ molecular ion

The vacuum uv emission of the ¹⁵N₂²⁺ ion has been recorded for the first time. Rotational analysis of two bands, analogous to those already observed in the case of the natural isotope, confirm their assignment to the D¹Σ_u⁺-X¹Σ_g⁺ (0, 0) and (1, 1) bands. More precise data are also obtained for the ³Σ_g^? state which perturbs ground state vibrational levels.     

Measurement of the branching ratios for Kμ2+, Kπ2+, Ke3+ and Ke3+ decays using a magnetic spectrometer with streamer chambers

The momenta of ～30 000 charged particles from K⁺ decays were measured using a magnetic spectrometer with streamer chambers. The ratio R = Γ(K_π2⁺)/Γ(K_μ2⁺) = 0.3355 ± 0.0057 was obtained. Our values for the branching ratios are: (63.18±0.43)% for K_μ2⁺, (21.18±0.33)% for K_π2⁺, (3.33±0.51)% for K_μ3⁺, (4.99±0.54)% for K_e3⁺.     

High-resolution optogalvanic study of the c4(0)1Πu, c′5(0)1Σu+, and a″(0)1Σg+ Rydberg states of N2

A new optogalvanic technique with an rf discharge was applied to a high-resolution study of the Rydberg states of N₂. The Ledbetter band, c₄(0)¹Π_u ← a″(0)¹Σ_g⁺, and a new visible band, c′₅(0)¹Σ_u⁺ ← a″(0)¹Σ_g⁺, were studied at a Doppler-limited resolution of 0.05 cm^?1. A Doppler-free method was also applied to resolve overlapped lines. Precise wavenumbers were determined for the rotational transitions of the two Rydberg bands. The rotational and the centrifugal constants for the lowest Rydberg state, a″(0)¹Σ_g⁺, were determined to be B₀ = 1.913748(42) cm^?1 and D₀ = 6.088(99) × 10^?6 cm^?1, where the numbers in parentheses are the standard deviation and apply to the last digits.     

The B(E2↑) and Rtr of 21+ states in90Zr and60Ni

The ground state transition probabilities for the 2₁⁺ states in⁹⁰Zr and⁶⁰Ni as determined by resonance fluorescence and reorientation effect methods are used as constraints to deduce transition densities from inelastic electron scattering data. The (e, e') cross sections for the ⁹⁰Zr, 2₁⁺ state at 2.186 MeV were measured at the Kelvin Laboratory, while for the 2₁⁺ state at 1.333 MeV in⁶⁰Ni, the existing (e, e') data of Yale and Sendai were used. The discrepancy between the model independent (e, e') result of Yale for⁹⁰Zr and the (γ, γ') measurement is explained. The importance of an accurate knowledge of the ground state charge distribution for analysis of (e, e') data is emphasized. For⁹⁰Zr, the B(E2↑) is 674 ± 60 e²· fm⁴ and ^R_tr is 5.74 ± 0.11 fm. For the 1.333 MeV state in⁶⁰Ni, these values are 918 ± 26 e²· fm⁴ and 5.33 ± 0.03 fm respectively.     

A spectroscopic study of the D(0u+) ion-pair state of Br2 by the optical-optical double-resonance technique

An optical-optical double-resonance technique has been applied to study the D(0_u⁺) ion-pair state of Br₂ in a one-photon resonant three-photon absorption. The OODR transition proceeds through the high vibrational level of the B³Π(0_u⁺) state, which compromises a large Franck-Condon shift required for the excitation of Br₂ from the X¹Σ_g⁺ state to the D(0_u⁺) state. Dunham parameters of the D(0_u⁺) state, based on a global least-squares fit of 407 transitions (v′ = 0–16, J′ = 17–115), are Y₀₀ = 49928.443(41), Y₁₀ = 134.467(19), Y₂₀ = ?8.71(27) × 10^?2, Y₃₀ = ?3.36(10) × 10^?3, Y₀₁ = 4.2382(15) × 10^?2, Y₁₁ = ?1.061(36) × 10^?4, Y₂₁ = ?2.00(27) × 10^?6, and Y₀₂ = ?1.93(11) × 10^?8 for ⁷⁹Br₂ (all in cm^?1, and 3σ in parentheses). The single rovibronic fluorescence spectrum of the D(0_u⁺) state shows a transition terminating on the X¹Σ_g⁺ ground state, and establishes the absolute v′ numbering on the basis of the Franck-Condon factor calculations. The v′ = 2 and 3 levels of the D(0_u⁺) state are strongly perturbed due to the heterogeneous interaction with the 1_u state correlating with the same ionic products of the D(0_u⁺) state at the dissociation limit, $\text{Br}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{(}{}^1\text{S) +}\text{Br}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{(}{}^3\text{P}{}_2\text{)}$.     

High-resolution study of E0 internal pair decay of excited 0+ states in 58,60,62Ni

The recently developed magnetic plus Si(Li)-Si(Li) sum-coincidence technique is employed to measure E0 internal-pair-formation (IPF) branching ratios of excited 0⁺ states in ^58,60,62Ni. The $\text{X(}\text{E}\text{0}\text{E}\text{2}\text{)}$ values are obtained for a new 0⁺₄ state in ⁶⁰Ni at 3588.0 keV, for the 0⁺₂ and 0⁺₃ states at 2942.3 keV and 3530.9 keV in ⁵⁸Ni, for the corresponding states at 2284.8 keV and 3318.3 keV in ⁶⁰Ni, and for the 0⁺₂ state in ⁶²Ni at 2048.4 keV. The results are combined with the available lifetimes of these states to extract the monopole strengths ?²(0⁺_i ? 0⁺₁). The results and the nature of the 0⁺ states are discussed.     

Further investigation of the γ-transitions in Λ4H and Λ4 hypernuclei

The γ-spectra induced by stopped K^? mesons in ⁶Li and ⁷Li targets in coincidence with the accompanying charged pions and π⁰ mesons. The γ-line at (1.04 ± 0.04) MeV observed with charged pions was identified as a γ-transition in _Λ⁴H, whereas the γ-line at (1.15 ± 0.04)_MeV observed with π⁰ mesons was ascribed to a γ-transition in _Λ⁴He. Using these new values for the excitation energies of the 1⁺ levels of _Λ⁴H and _Λ⁴He hypernuclei, the phenomenological ΛN potential for the s-state interaction was recalculated.     

Vibrational study of layered ZnPS3 compounds intercalated with [Co(η5 -C5H5)2+] and [Cr(η6 -C6H6)2+] CATIONS

Infrared and Raman spectra (10–3100 cm^?1) of the layered ZnPSs compound and of intercalates with [Co(η⁵ ? C₅H₅)₂⁺] and [Cr(η⁶ ? C₆H₆)₂⁺] cations in the polycrystalline state have been recorded 300–10 K temperature range. A complete assignment of the spectra is proposed in terms of PSs group motions, Zn²⁺ ion translations and [Co(η⁵ ? C₅H₅)₂⁺] or [Cr(η⁶ ? C₆H₆)₂⁺] internal vibrations. New low frequency for the [Co(η⁵-C₅H₅)₂⁺] intercalate at low temperature are assigned to librational and torsional modes of C₅H₅ rings. Moreover, the preresonance Raman spectra of this intercalate show a selective enhancement for the metal-ligand vibrations when the charge transfer band of the cobalticenium is approached. One concludes that guest molecules are intercalated under their cationic form, are weakly interacting with the host lattice and seem to be dynamically disordered at room temperature.     

First observation of the production and decay of the Σc+

An event with the decay chain Σ_c⁺ → Λ_c⁺ + π⁰, Λ_c⁺ → K^? + p + π⁺, has been observed in an exposure of BEBC, equipped with a track sensitive target, to the wide band neutrino beam from the SPS at CERN. The event has a unique three constraint kinematic fit to the ΔS = ?ΔQ reaction v + p → μ^? + p + K^? + π⁺ + π⁺ + π⁰ with both gammas from the π⁰ decay detected. The proton and other final state particles are identified. The masses are M(Λ_c⁺) = 2290 ± 3 MeV/c², M(Σ_c⁺) = 2457 ± 4 MeV/c² and M(Σ_c⁺) ? M(Λ_c⁺) = 168 ± 3 MeV/c². Including other data one obtains M (Σ_c⁺⁺) ? M(Σ_c⁺) = 0 ± 4 MeV/c².     

A measurement of the lifetime of the Λ3 H hypernucleus

The mean lifetime of the hypernucleus _Λ³H has been measured in a helium bubble chamber with the result, τ(_Λ³H)=(2.46_?0.41^+0.62)×10^?10 sec, based on 16 examples of the decay mode _Λ³H→π^?+³He and 24 examples of the decay mode _Λ³H→π^?+p+d. The decay branching ratio R₃ = Γ(_Λ³H → π^?+^{3He)/Γ(_Λ3H → all π? modes}) has been estimated to be 0.30 ± 0.07.     

Polarization spectroscopy of the E0g+-B0u+ band system of Br2

The E-B (0_g⁺-0_u⁺) band system of Br₂ has been investigated at Doppler-limited resolution using polarization labeling spectroscopy. Merged E state data for the three naturally occurring isotopes in the range v_E = 0–16, expressed in terms of the constants for ⁷⁹Br₂, are (in cm^?1) Y_0,0 = 49 777.962(54), Y_1,0 = 150.834(22), Y_2,0 = ?0.4182(28), Y_3,0 = 6.6(11) × 10^?4, Y_0,1 = 4.1876(28) × 10^?2, Y_1,1 = ?1.607(16) × 10^?4, and Y_0,2 = 1.39(39) × 10^?8. The bond distance is $\text{r}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>e</mtext>}}\text{= 3.194}\text{A}\text{?}$, and the diabatic dissociation energy to $\text{Br}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{(}{}^3\text{P}{}_2\text{) +}\text{Br}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{(}{}^1\text{S}{}_0\text{)}\text{is 34 700 cm}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$.     

A precise study of the rotational spectrum of formaldehyde H212C16O,H213C16O,H212C18O,H213C18O

The rotational spectra of formaldehyde, H₂¹²C¹⁶O and its isotopic species H₂¹³C¹⁶O, H₂¹²C¹⁸O, and H₂¹³C¹⁸O have been investigated in the ground vibrational state in the frequency region between 8 and 460 GHz. For most cases in which measurements of the a-type R- and Q-branch transitions already existed the accuracy of the line position has been improved to about 10 kHz. For H₂¹²C¹⁶O and H₂¹³C¹⁶O a large number of ΔK_a = ±2 transitions were measured with similar accuracy. These new data when combined with all other available data and appropriate weightings lead to a set of ground state parameters which for the first time are compatible with infrared and ultraviolet data. The rotational constants (and 3σ standard deviations) obtained using Watson's A-reduced Hamiltonian are:

Recoil-distance measurements of the g-factor of ²²Ne(2₁⁺)     

R.E. Horstman  J.L. Eberhardt  P.C. Zalm  H.A. Doubt  G. Van Middelkoop 《Nuclear Physics A》1977,275(1):237-245

Time-differential recoil-into-vacuum measurements with a plunger have been performed on the first-excited I^π = 2⁺ state of ²²Ne. The state was populated with the ⁴He(¹⁹F, p)²²Ne reaction on ⁴He-implanted foils. The measurements lead to a $\text{g-}\text{factor}\text{of}\text{¦g¦ = 0.326 ± 0.012}$ and to a mean life of τ_m = 5.2 ± 0.3 ps. The analysis also yields the population of excited two-electron ions and indicates that the population may depend on the thickness of the ¹²C contamination layer through which the ions recoil into vacuum.
