Measurement of 125Ba High Spin States

The high spin states of ¹²⁵Ba populated via the ¹⁰⁹Ag(¹⁹F,3n) reaction are measured by using a BGO Compton suppressed HPGe detector array.The negative and positive parity bands built respectively on the h_11/2 and g_7/2 neutron hole states are extended to 35/2^－ and 23/2⁺.Backbending occurs in both signature branches of the negative band at the frequencies close to that of the ¹²⁴Ba yrast band.An onset of backbending in the positive band has been seen.     

OBSERVATION OF EXCITED STATES IN 128Ba

Excited states of ¹²⁸Ba are investigated via the ¹²⁰Sn(¹²C, 4nγ) ¹²⁸Ba reaction by means of in-beam gamma spectroscopy Λ 12⁺ state other than the previously reported one is observed according to the properties of the 935.0keV γ-ray. It does not belong to the ground state band. Two new interband transitions, 224.8keV and 632.7keV, are observed and assigned to sidefeeding between the negative-parity band and ground state band.     

First evidence for a new spontaneous fission decay produced in the reaction 30Si +238U

Mean lifetimes of the high spin states in the yrast band of ¹²⁶Ba were measured by using the Doppler shift attenuation method in connection with the reaction ¹¹⁶Sn (¹⁶O, 2p4n)¹²⁶Ba at a beam energy of 73 MeV. The corresponding normalized B(E2) values are obviously reduced in the vicinity of the backbending. The results are compared with the theoretical predictions based on a realistic nucleon-nucleon interaction. Received: 9 June 1997 / Revised version: 16 October 1997     

A New Isomer State in 136Ba

The reaction of ¹³⁹La(⁸²Se, x)¹³⁶Ba was used in this experiment. The nuclide ¹³⁶Ba was produced via the transfer reaction channel. Some new γ rays of ¹³⁶Ba were measured and a new isomer state at 10⁺ was observed. The half life of this isomer is 94ns based on its time spectrum. According to the intensities of gamma transition and gamma-gamma coincidence relationship, the scheme of ¹³⁶Ba is suggested.     

Identification of High-Spin States in Odd-Odd 126I

Excited states in odd–odd ¹²⁶I have been studied via the heavy–ion induced fusion–evaporation reaction ¹²²Sn(¹¹B,5n2p) at beam energies of 55 and 60 MeV with beams provided by the HI–13 tandem accelerator of CIAE in Beijing.A level scheme consisting of 20 new γ transitions assigned to ¹²⁶I is established.The assignment of the established level scheme to ¹²⁶I is based on the observed coincidences between the newly identified γ–transitions and two previously known cascade γ transitions feeding the ground state of ¹²⁶I, and supported by a cross measurement using the ¹²⁴Sn(^7lI,5n) reaction performed at UTTAC,Japan.The observed structures of ¹²⁶I at high spins show typical properties of collective rotation in a deformed nucleus. their possible configurations are discussed briefly on the basis of knowledge from the neighboring nuclei.     

Two-quasiparticle bands in126Ba

High spin states of¹²⁶Ba have been populated via the¹¹⁶Sn (¹³C, 3n) reaction and were investigated by inbeam gamma-ray spectroscopy. Partially NaJ (Tl)-BGO anti-compton shields were used. Two positive parity band crossings were established. The yrast band was observed up to a tentative 18⁺ level. The gamma-bands and two band structures of negative parity were found. In addition a tentative 3^? state has been seen. Two-quasiparticle Routhians are constructed from the one-quasiparticle Routhians of the bands in the odd neighbouring isotopes and isotones and are compared to the ones observed in¹²⁶Ba. This leads to ah _11/2 g _7/2-neutron structure of the strongly coupled negative parity bands and a two-quasiproton structure of the decoupled bands of negative parity. The branching and mixing ratios for the neutron bands are analyzed.     

Contribution of One-Photon Annihilation at ψ(2S) in e+e－ Experiment

The continuum one-photon annihilation at ψ(2S) in e⁺e^－ experiment is studied. Such contributions to the measured final states ωπ⁰ and π⁺π^－ at ψ(2S) mass are estimated by phenomenological models. It is found that these contributions must be taken into account in the determination of branching ratios of ψ(2S)→ωπ0 and ψ(2S)→π⁺π^－, as well as other electromagnetic decay modes. The study reaches the conclusion that in order to obtain the correct branching ratios on these decay modes at BES, at least 10pb^－1of data below the ψ(2S) peak is needed.     

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.     

ON THE COULOMB DISINTEGRATIONS OF ATOMS （e+e-） AND （μ+μ-）

The cross sections and energy spectra of the Coulomb disintegration of （e⁺e^-） and（μ⁺μ^-）at high energies are calculated by using the perturbation expansion of com-posite field theory [1] and the approximate covariant solution to Bethe-salpeter equa-tion with Coulomb potential and spin 1/2, -1/2^[2] . The cross sections of disintegrationof （e⁺t^-） are about 20% less than the cross sections calculated by others [3]. Be-sides; the results obtained in this paper indicate that the cross sections of coulomb di-sintegration of （e⁺e^-） or （μ⁺μ^-） at high energies in singlet state and triplet stateare equal exactly, while in [3] this oicurs only when n=2, and when n=1 the dif-ferenles betwees the rross sections in the two states are about 25%. It is very likelythat there were some mistakes in these calculutions.     

Quasi-gamma bands in even-mass Xe AND Ba nuclei

Low-lying excited states of ^124,126Xe and ¹³²Ba have been studied by means of in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy in (p, xny) reactions. Excitation functions, angular distributions and γ-γ coincidence spectra were obtained. The 2₂⁺ , 3⁺, 4₂⁺ and 5⁺ levels were observed at the following excitation energies in keV: 846.4(2₂⁺), 1247.5(3⁺), 1437.3 (4₂⁺), 1836.6(5⁺) in ¹²⁴Xe, 879.7(2₂⁺), 1317.3(3 ⁺), 1488.2(4₂⁺), 1903.1(5 ⁺) in ¹²⁶Xe and 1032.1(2₂⁺), 1511.3(3⁺), 1729.9(4₂⁺) in ¹³²Ba. The 2214.3 and 2561.7 keV levels in ¹²⁶Xe were tentatively assigned as the 6₂⁺ and 7⁺ levels, respectively. These 2₂⁺, 3 ⁺, 4₂⁺, 5⁺, 6₂⁺and 7⁺ levels are interpreted as members of a quasi-γ band. The E2/M1 mixing ratios of the 2₂⁺ → 2₁⁺ transitions in ^124,126Xe and ¹³²Ba were obtained as + 6.3^+5.3_?2.0 + 10.8^7.8_?3.2 and + 8.3^+4.9_?2.2, respectively.     

Analysis of Three Annihilation Potential andp+ 12C Inelastic Scattering

The inelastic scattering of antiproton (p_lab=600MeV/c) by ¹²C leading to the excitation of the three normal parity T=0 levels is studied in the framework of Glauber model. The transition densities obtained from fitting to the electron scattering data and the three annihilation potentials derived from analysis of pp scattering data are used in the calculation. The inelastic angular distribution for exciting the three lowest normal parity T=0 states in ¹²C at 4.44MeV(J^π=2⁺), 7.66MeV(J^π=0⁺), and 9.63MeV(J^π=3^-) by 600MeV/c antiproton are calculated by selecting potential parameter suitably. The results are seen to be in fairly good agreement with the available experimental data. The results are given by using the elementary two-body amplitudes comparatively.     

Study of Quasiparticles Bands in Odd-Odd 188Au

High-spin level structure of ¹⁸⁸Au has been studied via the ¹⁷³Yb(¹⁹F, 4nγ) reaction using techniques of in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy. Based on the experimental results, the level scheme of ¹⁸⁸Au has been revised significantly. The previously reported positive parity levels have been modified and a new 20⁺ level was proposed to feed the 18⁺ states via two low-energy transitions. The existence of the 20⁺ and the level structures above it are similar to those in the neighboring odd-odd ^190,192Au,therefore, the π h_{11/2}^{-1}\otimes \upnu i_{13/2}^{-2} h_{9/2}^{-1} configuration was assigned to the 20⁺ state.     

First Study of Weak (EC+β+) Decay Branch for the Neutron-Deficient Isotoep 209Fr

²⁰⁹Fr has been produced by irradiation of ¹⁹⁷Au with ¹⁶O from SFC accelarator uia the fusion-evaporation 4n channel.The(EC+β⁺)decay of ²⁰⁹Fr has been studied by a He-jet tape transport system.The decay scheme is proposed for the first time based on γ-t,X-γ-t,γ-γ-t coincidece and γ-γ delay coincidence measurements,which takes account of 20 observed γ ray.Five members of low-lying states in ²⁰⁹Rn can be explained by the multi-plet [(²¹⁰Rn2⁺)(νf_5/2)^－1].The branching ratio for(EC+β⁺) decay of ²⁰⁹Fr has been estimated experimentaly to be(3.0±1.5)%.     

Ultrafast and nanosecond laser-induced desorption of positive ions from lithium fluoride single crystals

We compare desorption of positive ions from lithium fluoride single crystals following pulsed laser excitation using either femtosecond (180 fs, 265 nm) or nanosecond (3 ns, 266 nm) sources. Following optical excitation, desorbed ions are mass analyzed using standard time-of-flight techniques. Several important differences between nanosecond and femtosecond excitation are revealed. Femtosecond excitation produces higher kinetic energy Li⁺ than does nanosecond excitation (10 eV vs. 5 eV) while nanosecond excitation yields significant quantities of impurity ions Na⁺ and K⁺, in addition to efficient Li⁺ emission. The Li⁺ desorption threshold is similar for both laser sources. This similarity is a surprising result, as sub-bandgap nanosecond pulses are only likely to excite defect states efficiently (via linear excitation), while the ultrahigh peak-power femtosecond pulses could in principle induce multiphoton and avalanche excitation. Femtosecond excitation results in much less complicated time-of-flight spectra, as predominantly Li⁺ is detected with some H⁺ also observed. We have measured the Li⁺ yield as a function of time delay between two sub-threshold femtosecond laser pulses. We find that the majority of the Li⁺ yield decays rapidly, largely within the fs pulse duration. However, a weak but measurable decay component of approximately 2 ps is indicated.     

Three-body Dynamics of the Hypernucleus 9Be

We have calculated the energy spectra of the hypernucleus ⁹Be up to about 15MeV excitation energy by using an α+α+Λ three-cluster model and using the hamonicoscillator product states as basis function.By analyzing the shape densities in detail,we have determined the most probable shapes in three low-lying ststes of L^π=0⁺,2⁺ and 1^－     

(EC/β+) Decay of 130Nd and 140Tb

Isotopes,¹³⁰Nd and ¹⁴⁰Tb were produced using enriched targets ⁹⁶Ru and ¹⁰⁶Cd, respectively,bombarded by ³⁶Ar ion beam. The two nuclides were identified and studied by a He-jet tape transport system in combination with "X-γ" and "γ-γ" coincidence measure- ments. The half-life of ¹³⁰Nd was determined to be (13±2)s. The EC/β⁺ decay scheme of 130Nd was proposed for the first time, and the spins and parties of the ground-state and observed low-lying states in the daughter nucleus ¹³⁰Pr were speculated tentatively. The previous simple EC/β⁺ decay scheme of ¹⁴⁰Tb was revised, and the spin-parity of its groundstate was assigned to be 7⁺.     

The Spin Effect of Antiproton-Nucleus Inelastic Collison

If the antiproton optical potential is inclusive of the spin orbit interaction term,the A(p,p)A* inelastic scattering not only can excited the normal parity states,but also can excited the abnormal parity states.There are also induced the polarization P_f(θ) at the inelastic scattering.In the framework of DWIA,we derived the inelastic scattering cross section (dσ/dΩ)_f,i,and polarization P_f(θ),and calculated the (dσ/dΩ)_f,i, and P_f(θ) for ¹²C(p,p)¹²C* with 2⁺,3^－ and 1⁺ states at antiproton energies of 46.8 and 179.7MeV.They fited experiment data quite well.Due to the abnormal partity states in the inelastic process have been measured,the spin orbit term can not be neglect.     

INTERACTING BOSON MODEL FOR EVEN-EVEN NUCLEI POSSESSED OF 1+ AND 3+ BANDS IN THE ROTATIONAL RIGION

On the bases of s, d IBM, octupole states are taken into account and the two-quasiparticle excitation is treated as boson-like in the SU(3) limit. The energy spectra are obtained analytically and the nondegenerated 1⁺ and 3⁺ bands are also reproduced. The calculated spectra of eight nuclei, which possess with 1⁺ or 3⁺ bands in their energy spectra in the rotational rigion, agree with the experimental ones fairly good.     

CHARGE DENSITY DISTRIBUTIONS OF DEFORMED NUCLEI

A simple calculation method for charge for charge density distributions of deformed nuclei by using macroscopic model has been proposed.The calculations of charge density distributions for ¹⁹²Os,¹⁵⁴Gd,¹⁵²Sm,¹⁷⁴Yb, and ^{144,148,150,152}Sm nuclei have been performed.The results show that the calculated charge densities are in good agreement with experiments.Consequently,on the base of experimental data of the transition probabilities for ground state to 2⁺,4⁺,6⁺ rotational states or its electric multipole moments,The charge density distributions of deformed nuclei can be predicted theoretically by this method.
