Ultra-long-range states in excited 3He2

Long-range potentials have been calculated for ³He₂ molecules dissociating to ³He 2 ³S + ³He 2 ³P, including the retarded dipole and the van der Waals interactions. Ultra-long-range wells with depths of up to about 2.4 GHz have been found in many of the adiabatic body-fixed potentials and rovibrational levels have been calculated for some of these wells, which have been found to support up to 4 rotationless vibrational levels.     

Spectroscopy of excited states in216Ra

A gamma spectroscopic investigation of²¹⁶Ra was performed by means of the reactions²⁰⁶Pb(¹³C, 3n) and²⁰⁸Pb(¹²C, 4n). Yield functions, angular distributions,γ?γ coincidences, time centroid shifts and pulsed beam isomeric decay rates were measured. The yrast level structure is firmly established up to spin 14 and information on theγ-transitions from higher lying levels is also obtained. The configurations of the low-lying levels are discussed.

Spectroscopy of highly excited states in29Si

Particleγ-ray coincidences have been measured in the²⁸Si (d,pγ) reaction at 6.5 and 7 MeV bombarding energy, in the²⁶Mg (α,nγ) reaction at 12, 14 and 15 MeV, and in the²⁷A1 (τ,pγ) reaction at 9 MeV. Theγ-decay has been observed for all bound states of²⁹Si and for 56 unbound states up to 12,960 KeV excitation energy. Particleγ-ray angular correlations were measured in the²⁸Si (d,pγ) reaction at 6.5 MeV and in the²⁶Mg (α,nγ) reaction at 12 MeV. Spin (-parity) assignments or restrictions were obtained for nearly all bound states and some high-spin states above the binding energy. The assignment of mirror levels in²⁹Si and²⁹P has been extended to 8.2 MeV excitation energy. The excitation energies of 41 positive-parity states are reproduced by shell model calculations. The possible existence of aK ^π=5/2⁺ band with prolate deformation is discussed.     

Search for highly excited states in 8Be

Excitation functions and angular distributions of the reactions ${}^7\text{Li}\text{(}\text{p}\text{, α)α}{}^1$ and ${}^6\text{(}\text{Li}\text{(}\text{d}\text{, α)α}{}^1$ have b investigated for the excitation-energy region E_X = 21?28 MeV in ⁸Be ($\text{α}{}^1$ denotes the first excited state of the α-particle). pronounced resonant structure has been observed in both channels around E_X = 24 MeV. It is excited simultaneously by odd and even angular momenta. The experimental results are discussed in the light of two models, the αα¹ cluster model and the symplectic model which take into account the configuration interaction (core excitation) in different manners.     

Population densities of He(I) and He(II) excited states in plasmas

Reduced population coefficients for He(I) and He(II) levels, both for optically thin and partially optically thick conditions, have been calculated from a collisional-radiative model using recent experimental and theoretical cross sections. The calculated population densities are compared with experimental results on helium plasmas. Agreement with experimental results is better at low electron temperatures.     

Investigating highly excited states of the 8Li isotope

Highly excited states of the ⁸Li isotope are sought in absorption reactions of π^? mesons stopped by ^10,11B isotopes. The ground and three excited states of the ⁸Li isotope are observed in inclusive measurements of reactions ¹⁰B(π^?, d)X and ¹¹B(π^?, t)X. The states with excitation energies E _x ≈ 8.7 and 10.1 MeV are observed for the first time in correlation measurements of reactions ¹⁰B(π^?, dt)X and ¹¹B(π^?, tt)X.     

Magnetic field stimulated transitions of excited states in fast μHe+ ions

It is shown that one can stimulate, by using the present-day laboratory magnetic fields, transitions between the lm sub-levels of fast μHe⁺ ions formed in muon catalyzed fusion. This gives a possibility to drive the population of the lm sub-levels by applying a field of a few Tesla, which affects the reactivation rate and is especially important to the Kα X-ray production. Strong fields also cause the self-ionization from highly excited states of the muonic helium. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Quenching of the excited states of 8-methoxypsoralen by synthetic Eumelanin

The interaction of 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) with synthetic eumelanin was investigated using static and time-resolved fluoresence and pulsed photoacoustic calorimetry. Spectroscopic data indicate the absence of interaction in the ground state, whereas the singlet excited state of 8-MOP is quenched by the pigment; the average fluorescence lifetimes are independent of the melanin concentration, thus indicating a static mechanism. Photoacoustic data show that the quenching process involves an increased intersystem crossing probability, which is almost unaffected by the presence of oxygen, as expected for a molecule essentially acting as a type I photosensitizing agent.     

Charge distribution of He states, excited by electron capture in He+ (26 keV)-He collisions

Using anticrossing spectroscopy we investigated one-electron capture in He⁺ (26 keV) – He collisions. The intensity of the triplet line λ (1s4l ³D → 1s2p ³P) ≈ 447.2 nm emitted by the fast atoms was measured as a function of an external electric field in the collision volume varied from ?30 kV/cm to +30 kV/cm. The radiative decay of excited He atoms in an almost field-free region outside the collision volume was observed. The highly asymmetric intensity function could be reproduced theoretically using the density-matrix formalism. It indicates that the excited He atoms are in a state with a highly forward-backward asymmetric charge distribution, immediately after the charge-exchange collision.     

Multiphoton ionisation of different order from excited states of the He atoms in a glow-discharge

Multiphoton ionisation of different order was measured from the energy levels of the atoms He, excited in a low current glow discharge.     

Experimental evidence of (2)He decay from (18)Ne excited states

Two-proton decay from (18)Ne excited states has been studied by complete kinematical reconstruction of the decay products. The (18)Ne nucleus has been produced as a radioactive beam by (20)Ne primary projectile fragmentation at 45 AMeV incident energy on a Be target. The (18)Ne at 33 AMeV incident energy has been excited via Coulomb excitation on a (nat)Pb target. The obtained results unambiguously show that the 6.15 MeV (18)Ne state two-proton decay proceeds through a (2)He diproton resonance (31%) and democratic or virtual sequential decay (69%). The quoted branching ratio has been deduced from relative angle and momentum correlations of the emitted proton pairs.     

Spectroscopy of excited state positronium

Electric dipole transitions in the microwave range have been induced between the fine-structure levels of positronium in the excited staten=2. As an indication of the transitions, we used the increase in Lyman- radiation when the metastable 2³S₁-level is depopulated. The results for the transitions 2³S₁2³P_0,1,2 are ₀=18499.65±1.20±4.00 MHz, ₁=13012.42 ±0.65±1.54 MHz and ₂=8624.38±0.54±1.40 MHz. The first error is statistical and the second systematic. The precision of the present measurement has improved by a factor of 3, compared to previous data. Recent bound state QED-calculations have been extended to the orderR _t8 ⁴ln ^–1. The not yet completely calculated orderR _t8 ⁴ is estimated to contribute less than 1 MHz. Our experimental results are in good agreement with theory. By applying a weak magnetic field, we were able to observe the transition 2³S₁2¹P₁ which is strictly forbidden byC-invariance in zero field. Our result, corrected for Zeeman- and motional Starkeffect, is ₃=11180.0±5.0±4.0 MHz. An upper limit for theC-violating matrix element of MHz could be deduced. Our experiment used moderated slow positrons from the bremsstrahlung and pair production of a pulsed electron linear accelerator (TEPOS facility at the university of Giessen).     

Investigation of 16O excited states via the 14N(3He,p) reaction

The reaction ¹⁴N(³He, p)¹⁶O has been investigated at a bombarding energy of 15.0 MeV, using a differentially pumped gas target. Angular distributions were measured for 30 levels below 16.5 MeV in excitation. Data were compared with shell-model calculations of Zuker, Buck and McGrory for states whose correspondence with theory is established. Many states are found to possess a large compound-nucleus reaction component. Several previously unreported levels are observed at high excitation. Angular distributions for all except the weakest levels have been compared with DWBA calculations.     

Spectroscopy of pentaquark states

We construct a complete classification of pentaquark states in terms of the spin-flavour SU(6) representations. We find that only some definite SU(3) representations are allowed, that is singlets, octects, decuplets, anti-decuplets, 27-plets and 35-plets. The latter three contain exotic states, which cannot be constructed from three quarks only. This complete classification is general and model independent and is useful both for model builders and experimentalists. The mass spectrum is obtained from a Gürsey-Radicati type mass formula, whose coefficients have been determined previously by a study of qqq-baryons. The ground-state pentaquark, which is identified with the recently observed state, is predicted to be an isosinglet anti-decuplet state. Its parity depends on the interplay between the spin-flavour and orbital contributions to the mass operator.PACS: 14.20.-c Baryons (including antiparticles) - 12.39.-x Phenomenological quark models - 02.20.-a Group theory
