The high spin states of ¹⁰⁶Ag were populated via the fusion-evaporation reaction ¹⁰⁰Mo(¹¹B,5n)¹⁰⁶Ag at a beam energy of 60 MeV. A new level scheme of ¹⁰⁶Ag is presented. The positive parity band based on the configuration of πg_9/2⊙ν[h²_11/2(g_7/2/d_5/2)] is assigned to magnetic rotation band of shears mechanism. Theoretical calculation of the effective interaction on the basis of TAC mode were also performed, the calculated results agrees well with the value extracted from the experiment.

The cross section for 107Ag(n,2n)^106mAg has been measured by using the activation method relative to the cross section of ²⁷Al(n,α)²⁴Na in the neutron energy range of 13.50—14.73MeV.The values of 469±22,480±22,503±24,538±25,555±25,572±26mb were obtained at the 13.50,13.60,13.90,14.10,14.35,and 14.73MeV neutron energy,respectively.The results are compared with the published data.The neutron energies were determined by activity ratios of Nb and Zr foils.     

High-spin states and signature inversion studies in 110Ag

The high-spin states of ¹¹⁰Ag were populated via fusion evaporation reaction ¹¹⁰Pd(⁷Li, 2p2n)¹¹⁰Ag and a new level scheme has been presented. The systematics of signature splitting and signature inversion of the πg_9/2⊙νh_11/2 configuration band in Ag isotopes are studied. The spin of inversion point decreases with increasing neutron number and this feature is explained as due to the competition between the p-n residual interaction and the Coriolis force.     

Collective Bands in Neutron-Rich 107Ru Nucleus

Through measuring prompt γ-rays emitted in the spontaneous fission of ²⁵²Cf with higher statistic data,level structures in the neutron rich,odd A¹⁰⁷Ru nucleus have been re investigated. New level scheme of ¹⁰⁷Ru has been established. The ground state band was extended with spin up to 27 2h. The νh_11/2 band structure observed in our previous publication has been confirmed and extended. These results clear up the inconsistence between our earlier work and results from another experiment published recently. A collective band built on (9/2^－) level has been observed for the first time. Some important features of the level scheme have been discussed.     

Reinvestigation of Collective Bands in 107Tc

The high spin states of a neutron-rich ^107 Tc nucleus are reinvestigated by observing prompt γ-rays from the spontaneous fission of ^252 Cf. The previous level scheme is updated. A collective band based on the π5/2- [303] orbital is confirmed and extended. Inconsistencies in the configuration assignments for a type of positive parity bands of odd-A 105,107,109 Tc in the previous reports are clarified according to the g factor calculations. A new band based on the 1499.5 keV level in ^107Tc is proposed as a two-phonon γ-vibrational band.     

Observation of isomeric states and band structures in 107Cd

The odd-mass nucleus ¹⁰⁷Cd was investigated in the reactions ${}^{105}\text{Pd}\text{(α, 2}\text{n}\text{)}{}^{107}\text{Cd}\text{,}{}^{107}\text{Ag}\text{(d, 2}\text{n}\text{)}{}^{107}\text{Cd and}{}^{107}\text{Ag}\text{(}\text{p, n}\text{)}{}^{107}\text{Cd}$. The constructed level scheme is based on results, obtained from singles γ-ray spectra and excitation functions, from the measurements of delayed γ-rays, of γ-γ coincidences, of internal conversion electrons and of γ-ray angular distributions. Two new isomers were observed. The first one, interpreted as the $\text{h}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>11</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ neutron state at 845.6 keV has a half-life of 67 ± 6 ns. This isomeric state is populated by a strong E2 cascade. Bands built on the other intrinsic states with spins and parities $\text{5}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{+}}$ and $\text{7}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{+}}$ are not strongly populated. For the second isomeric state at an excitation energy of 2679 keV a half-life of 55±4 ns was determined. This isomer is probably a three-quasiparticle state. Its configuration can be proposed as $\text{[π(}\text{g}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>9</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{)}{}^{\mathrm{?2}}{}_{\mathrm{8+}}\text{ν(}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>7</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{)}{}^1\text{]}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>21</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}{}^{\mathrm{+}}$.

Temperatures and Excitation Energies of Hot Nuclei in Reactions of 40Ar+natAg,209Bi at MeV/u

Coincidence measurements of fission fragment and light charged particle have been perfotrmed for the reactions of ⁴⁰Ar+^natAg,²⁰⁹Bi at E/A=25MeV using 4 PPAC and 11 sets of ΔE-E telescopes.Angular correlations of fission fragment were ploted as a function of the folding angle between the two detected fission fragments.The linear momentum transfer distributions were derived by measuring angular correlations.The backward spectra of light particles detected in coincidence with fission fragments having different average〈LMT〉are analyzed with Maxwell distribution.After some corrections the initial temperatures of the hot nuclei are determined from the energy spectra.The excitation energies corresponding to the different average〈LMT〉are obtained considering the reaction Q values and pre-equilibrum emission.In the central collision of the ⁴⁰Ar+^natAg,²⁰⁹Bi reactions,excitation energies are measured to be about 4.2MeV/u,2.4MeV/u and temperatures about 6.1MeV,5.5MeV,respecdvely.In semi-central collision,excitaionen energies are measured to be about 3.5MeV/u,1.9MeV/u and temperatures about 5.8MeV,4.8MeV respectively.

g-factors measurement of magnetic rotation band in 85Zr

The magnetic-rotational band in ⁸⁵Zr was populated by the fusion-evaporation reaction ⁶⁰Ni(²⁸Si, 2pn)⁸⁵Zr with a 98 MeV Si beam from the HI-13 tandem accelerator at China Institute of Atomic Energy. The g-factors of the high spin states of this magnetic rotation band in ⁸⁵Zr were measured by the TMF-IMPAD method for the first time. The measured g-factors decrease with the increasing of spin. It implies that the valence neutron alignment is more rapid than that of the valence proton, which leads to a decrease of g-factors along the band.

Space-Time Evolution of Projectile-Like Fragment Emission for 40Ar +natAg Reaction at 30MeV/u

The emission time of intermediate mass fragments (IMF) has been studied as a function of spatial evolution of the emission source for ⁴⁰Ar+^natAg reaction at 30MeV/u, and the spatial-time evolution of projectile-like fragments emission has also been discussed. The investigation for spatial-time evolution of the reaction system shows that the emission time of the IMF mainly depends on the correlation functions and the density of nuclear matter, and that it is not sensitive to the mass number of emitting sources. For high-energy fragments, a smaller nuclear density would lead to a smaller assignment for emission time τ; therefor the τ values extracted from the normal nuclear density could be taken as upper limits of real τ values. For the mid-velocity fragments, their emission times do not change with size of the source and these τ values could be taken as the real values directly.     

First Observation for Isotope 265Bh(Z=107)

Identification was made by observation of correlated α particle decays between the new isotope ²⁶⁵Bh and its ²⁶¹Db and ²⁵⁷Lr daughters with four pairs of detectors. A total of 8 correlated decay events of ²⁶⁵Bh and 4 decay events of ²⁶⁴Bh were identified. ²⁶⁵Bh decays with a 0.94+0.70-0.31s half-life by emission of α particle with an average energy of (9.24±0.05)MeV.     

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.     

New Neutron-Rich Isotope 208Hg

The new neutron-rich isotope ²⁰⁸Hg has been identified for the first time from the reaction products in fully-stopping thick ^nat.Pb target bombarded by 30MeV/u ¹²C beam provided by the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou.Assignment of the nuclide ²⁰⁸Hg was based on the measurements of the deacy γ energy and halflife of its daughter ²⁰⁸Ti,which was grown up with ²⁰⁸Hg β-deacy.The half-life of ²⁰⁸Hg β-deacy was determined to be 42+23－12 min.The average production cross section of ²⁰⁸Hg over the incident energy region from Coulomb barrier to 30MeV/u is found to be 1.1±0.5μb.     

Time Scsle for Emission of Intermediate Mass Fragments in E/A=30MeV 40Ar+natAg Reaction

Fragment-fragment conelation functions have been measured in E/A=30 MeV ⁴⁰Ar+^natAg reaction via the technique of intensity interferometry. Emission times of intermediate mass fragments have been extracted from reduced velocity correlation functions by using the threebody trajectory model. The average emission time of intermediate mass fragments varies with the energy of fragments. It decreases from about 300fm/c for low energy fragments to about 80fm/c for energetic fragments. After subtmcting the contribution of projectile-like fragments, average emission times of mid-rapidity fragments are of the order of 250fm/c for this reaction.It indicates that intermediate mass fragments emitted in this reaction mainly come from sequential binary decays.

The experimental angular distribution is well reproduced by the distorted-wave Born approximation (DWBA) calculation. The success of the present experiment shows that it is feasible to measure one-nucleon transfer reaction on a light nucleus target with the secondary beam facility of the HI-13 tandem accelerator at China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE), Beijing.
