Spatial periphery of lithium isotopes

The spatial structure of lithium isotopes is studied with the aid of the charge-exchange and (t, p) reactions on lithium nuclei. It is shown that an excited isobaric-analog state of ⁶Li (0⁺, 3.56MeV) has a halo structure formed by a proton and a neutron, that, in the ⁹Li nucleus, there is virtually no neutron halo, and that ¹¹Li is a Borromean nucleus formed by a ⁹Li core and a two-neutron halo manifesting itself in cigar-like and dineutron configurations.     

Survey of ground state neutron spectroscopic factors from Li to Cr isotopes

The ground state neutron spectroscopic factors for 80 nuclei ranging in Z from 3 to 24 have been extracted by analyzing the past measurements of the angular distributions from (d, p) and (p, d) reactions. We demonstrate an approach that provides systematic and consistent values with minimum assumptions. For the 61 nuclei that have been described by large-basis shell-model calculations, most experimental spectroscopic factors are reproduced to within 20%.     

Spatial periphery of lithium and beryllium isotopes

The spatial structure of the periphery of lithium and beryllium isotopes is studied by means of charge-exchange reactions and the (t, p) and (d, p) reactions on their nuclei. It is shown that the 0⁺ isobaric-analog state of ⁶Li at 3.56 MeV has a halo structure formed by a proton and a neutron, that there is virtually no manifestation of a neutron halo in the ground state of the ⁹Li nucleus, and that the ¹¹Li nucleus has a Borromean halo structure that two neutrons form with respect to the ⁹Li core and which manifests itself in cigar and dineutron configurations. The ¹⁰Be nucleus has a substantial two-neutron periphery in either configuration both in the ground and in the 2⁺ excited state at 3.37MeV.     

Nuclear charge radii of 9,11Li: the influence of halo neutrons

The nuclear charge radius of 11Li has been determined for the first time by high-precision laser spectroscopy. On-line measurements at TRIUMF-ISAC yielded a 7Li-11Li isotope shift (IS) of 25 101.23(13) MHz for the Doppler-free [FORMULA: SEE TEXT]transition. IS accuracy for all other bound Li isotopes was also improved. Differences from calculated mass-based IS yield values for change in charge radius along the isotope chain. The charge radius decreases monotonically from 6Li to 9Li, and then increases from 2.217(35) to 2.467(37) fm for 11Li. This is compared to various models, and it is found that a combination of halo neutron correlation and intrinsic core excitation best reproduces the experimental results.     

Study of neutron rich neon isotopes

The half-lives andP _n -values of the neutron rich isotopes^26–29Ne have been determined. The results are compared to shell-model calculations and good agreement is found except for²⁹Ne, where the half-life exceeds the predictions by more than an order of magnitude. This unexpectedly long half-life can be explained as due to a fp intruder configuration.

Investigation of neutron and proton distributions of He,Li, and Be isotopes using the new Skyrme-Force parameters

The proton and neutron densities, root-mean-square (rms) radii of proton density and neutron density, and neutron skin thickness of ^4–10He, ^6–11Li, and ^7–12Be isotopes are calculated using Skyrme-Hartree-Fock method with SLy4, SLy5, SLy6, and SLy7 force parameters. The evaluated results are compared with experimental data. Also, the results of halo nuclei (^6,8He, ¹¹Li, and ¹¹Be) are compared with the results of other isotopes for selected nuclei having the same neutron configuration.     

Shape transition in the neutron rich sodium isotopes

Mass spectrometer measurements of the neutron rich sodium isotopes show a sudden increase at ³¹Na in the values of the two-neutron separation energies. The spherical shell model naturally predicts a sudden decrease at ³²Na after the N = 20 shell closure. We propose that the explanation for this disagreement lies in the fact that sodium isotopes in this mass region are strongly deformed due to the filling of negative parity orbitais from the 1f_{$\text{7}\text{2}$} shell. Hartree-Fock calculations are presented in support of this conjecture.     

Thermal neutron capture in isotopes of nickel

The gamma-ray spectra associated with thermal neutron capture in targets of⁵⁸Ni,⁶⁰Ni,⁶²Ni, and⁶⁴Ni have been observed with a high-sensitivity pair-spectrometer. Level schemes for the four product nuclei are discussed, correlation of widths with neutron single-particle states examined, and estimates forM1 andE2γ-ray strength functions obtained.     

Decay properties of neutron deficient Kr isotopes

The decay properties of the neutron deficient isotopes^73–77Kr and^73–76Br have been studied at the ISOLDE facility at CERN. The total decay energiesQ, as determined fromβ ⁺ singles orβ ⁺ -γ coincidence measurements, are compared with mass formulae.     

Elastic neutron transfer in the scattering of Si isotopes

Angular distributions of the elastic scattering of ²⁸Si on ²⁹Si and ³⁰Si have been measured for incident beam energies at E = 65 and 70 MeV with a time-of-flight spectrometer for heavy ions. At 70 MeV the neutron transfer ³⁰Si(²⁸Si, ²⁹Si)²⁹Si was observed in addition to the elastic channel. The pronounced oscillations in the elastic scattering distributions are interpreted as being due to an elastic transfer of neutrons between the colliding nuclei during the scattering process. This assumption is in accordance with some general features of the data and allows for the extraction of spectroscopic factors of the transferred neutrons.     

Charge-changing cross sections of the neutron-rich isotopes8,9,11Li

Total charge-changing cross sections have been measured for⁸Li on C and Pb targets, for⁹Li on C, Al, Cu, Sn and Pb targets, as well as for¹¹Li on C, Sn and Pb targets at about 80 MeV/nucleon. These data are compared to measured total reaction cross sections and Glauber-type calculations using Hartree-Fock density distributions. These comparisons allow to draw conclusions on the proton density distribution of the neutronrich lithium isotopes. The results show that even for the most exotic nucleus¹¹Li the proton distribution is only very weakly influenced by the long tail in the neutron density distribution already established in several experiments.     

Quadrupole moments of neutron isomers in Sm isotopes

The quadrupole moments of the neutron isomers in^140,142Sm were determined by measuring the quadrupole interaction of Sm in Gd using single crystals. The moment for the 10⁺ isomer in¹⁴⁰Sm was determined to be ¦Q¦=167(48) fm² and for the 7^? isomer in¹⁴²Sm ¦Q¦=112(27) fm². The quadrupole moments are a measure for a deformation which turned out to be very similar to the deformation found for corresponding proton isomers in Gd isotones.

Parity violation in neutron scattering on lead isotopes

On the basis of an analysis of experimental data, it is shown that a subthreshold (negative) p-wave resonance can exist in the ²⁰⁴Pb isotope at E _p =?16 eV. The presence of this resonance may explain unexpectedly large values observed experimentally for the P-odd angle of the rotation of the spin of transversely polarized neutrons about their momentum that are scattered on a natural mixture of lead isotopes. No available data are at odds with the existence of the E _p =?16 eV subthreshold resonance in ²⁰⁴Pb.

Slow neutron scattering lengths of the isotopes of silver and indium

By means of the Cristiansen filter method we measured on filters containing powder, filings or wires of silver or powder of indium oxide the coherent scattering lengths for the bound atoms of the following isotopes:b(¹⁰⁷Ag)=7.64±0.04 fm,b(¹⁰⁹Ag)=4.19±0.03 fmb(nat.Ag)=5.97±0.01 fm,b(¹¹³In)=5.39±0.06 fmb(¹¹⁵In)=4.00±0.03 fm andb(nat.In)=4.065±0.020 fm. From these values and taking account of incoherent and resonance data we deduced values for the fundamental spin state scattering lengths and incoherent cross sections. These zero energy scattering parameters and the resonance parameters for silver are consistent if bound levels of¹⁰⁸Ag and¹¹⁰Ag are assumed. No indications were found for bound levels of the In isotopes.
