Structure of Mg 31 Shape coexistence revealed by β-γ Spectroscopy with spin-polarized Na 31 Reviewed International journal

99 ( 2 ) 2019.2

　More details

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

The level structure of Mg31, which is located close to the region of the N = 20 "island of inversion" in the nuclear chart, has been studied by β-γ spectroscopy with spin-polarized Na31. In Mg31, shape coexistence is expected as a result of subtle competition between the spherical mean field and the nuclear correlation which favors deformed configurations. In the present work, our unique method utilizing the anisotropic β decay of spin-polarized Na31 enables us to firmly assign the spins of all positive-parity excited levels in Mg31 below the neutron separation energy at 2.3 MeV. Furthermore, by constructing a very detailed decay scheme, including two newly found levels, the spins of negative-parity levels are restricted. The examination of the spectroscopic information shows that the deformed rotational bands with Kπ=1/2+ and 1/2-, which have very similar structures to those observed in a higher excitation energy region of Mg25, appear as the ground-state and low-lying bands, respectively, in Mg31. The experimental levels of Mg31 are compared, on the level-by-level basis, with two types of theoretical calculations. These are, first, the antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD) plus generator coordinate method (GCM) and, second, the shell model with the EEdf1 interaction, which is microscopically derived from chiral effective field theory. It is understood that 8 levels among the experimental 11 levels are the members of four types of largely deformed rotational bands and 2 levels are of spherical nature. The 1/2+ 2.244-MeV level is successfully reproduced by the shell-model calculation with a dominant 4p4h configuration. The present work clearly demonstrates that various structures coexist in a low excitation energy region of Mg31.

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

The structure of excited states in the neutron-rich nucleus ³¹Mg, which is in the region of the “island of inversion” associated with the neutron magic number N=20, is studied by β–γ spectroscopy of spin-polarized ³¹Na. Among the ³¹Mg levels below the one neutron separation energy of 2.3 MeV, the spin values of all five positive-parity levels are unambiguously determined by observing the anisotropic β decay. Two rotational bands with K^π=1/2⁺ and 1/2⁻ are proposed based on the spins and energies of the levels. Comparison on a level-by-level basis is performed between the experimental results and theoretical calculations by the antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD) plus generator coordinate method (GCM). It is found that various nuclear structures coexist in the low excitation energy region in ³¹Mg.

A systematic study was performed of microsecond γ-decaying isomers around Sn100 produced in a fragmentation reaction of a Xe124 beam at 345 MeV/u at the Radioactive Ion Beam Factory of the RIKEN Nishina Center in Saitama, Japan. Half-lives of isomeric states in that region were remeasured allowing us to improve the currently available experimental information. Reduced transition probabilities were deduced and compared to shell-model calculations in various model spaces. The recently reported low-energy transitions in Rh92 and Ag96 were remeasured with improved precision. Additionally, experimental information on isomeric ratios, including five new ones, were extracted and compared to a previous experimental study and the sharp cutoff model of fragmentation reaction.

The β-delayed γ-ray spectroscopy of neutron-rich Ag123,125 isotopes is investigated at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory of RIKEN, and the long-predicted 1/2- β-emitting isomers in Ag123,125 are identified for the first time. With the new experimental results, the systematic trend of energy spacing between the lowest 9/2+ and 1/2- levels is extended in Ag isotopes up to N=78, providing a clear signal for the reduction of the Z=40 subshell gap in Ag towards N=82. Shell-model calculations with the state-of-the-art VMU plus M3Y spin-orbit interaction give a satisfactory description of the low-lying states in Ag123,125. The tensor force is found to play a crucial role in the evolution of the size of the Z=40 subshell gap. The observed inversion of the single-particle levels around Ag123 can be well interpreted in terms of the monopole shift of the π1g9/2 orbitals mainly caused by the increasing occupation of ν1h11/2 orbitals.

The neutron-rich isotopes of palladium have attracted considerable interest in terms of the evolution of the N=82 neutron shell closure and its influence on the r-process nucleosynthesis. In this Letter, we present the first spectroscopic information on the excited states in ¹²⁵ Pd ₇₉ and ¹²⁷ Pd ₈₁ studied using the EURICA γ-ray spectrometer, following production via in-flight fission of a high-intensity ²³⁸ U beam at the RIBF facility. New isomeric states with half-lives of 144(4) ns and 39(6) μs have been assigned spins and parities of (23/2 ⁺ ) and (19/2 ⁺ ) in ¹²⁵ Pd and ¹²⁷ Pd, respectively. The observed level properties are compared to a shell-model calculation, suggesting the competition between proton excitations and neutron excitations in the proton-hole and neutron-hole systems in the vicinity of the doubly magic nucleus ¹³² Sn.

The nuclear g factor and quadrupole moment (Q_s) have been measured for the low-lying isomeric 1⁺ state of ³⁴Al, using the β-detected nuclear magnetic resonance (β-NMR) and quadrupole resonance (β-NQR) methods. Spin-polarized ³⁴Al isotopes were produced in a one-neutron pickup reaction induced by a ³⁶S beam on a ⁹Be target at a kinetic energy of 77.5 MeV/nucleon, and were collected with the LISE fragment separator at GANIL. The measured g factor (|g| in a range of 1.757±0.014) and quadrupole moment (|Q_s|=38(5) mb) are in good agreement with shell-model calculations using effective interactions. The similarity between the g factor of ^34mAl and that of ³²Al confirms a dominant neutron 2p1h configuration π(d_5/2)⁻¹⊗ν(d_3/2)⁻¹(f_7/2)² of ^34mAl. In addition, the enhanced quadrupole moment of ^34mAl relative to that of ³²Al suggests that the neutron 1p1h excitation across the N=20 shell gap introduces extra nucleon–nucleon correlation and deformation.

A new high-spin isomer in the neutron-rich nucleus ¹²⁸Cd was populated in the projectile fission of a ²³⁸U beam at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory at RIKEN. A half-life of T_1/2=6.3(8) ms was measured for the new state which was tentatively assigned a spin/parity of (15⁻). The experimental results are compared to shell model calculations performed using state-of-the-art realistic effective interactions and to the neighbouring nucleus ¹²⁹Cd. In the present experiment no evidence was found for the decay of a 18⁺ E6 spin-trap isomer, based on the complete alignment of the two-neutron and two-proton holes in the 0h_11/2 and the 0g_9/2 orbit, respectively, which is predicted to exist by the shell model.

Excited states have been studied in Sm159, Sm161, Sm162 (Z=62), Eu163 (Z=63), and Gd164 (Z=64), populated by isomeric decay following U238 projectile fission at RIBF, RIKEN. The isomer half-lives range from 50 ns to 2.6μs. In comparison with other published data, revised interpretations are proposed for Sm159 and Eu163. The first data for excited states in Sm161 are presented, where a 2.6-μs isomer is assigned a three-quasiparticle, Kπ=17/2- structure. The interpretation is supported by multi-quasiparticle Nilsson-BCS calculations, including the blocking of pairing correlations. A consistent set of reduced E1 hindrance factors is obtained. Limited evidence is also reported for isomeric decay in Sm163, Eu164, and Eu165.

We report for the first time the β-decay scheme of Te140 (Z=52) to I140 (Z=53), with a specific focus on the Gamow-Teller strength along N=87 isotones. These results were obtained in an experiment performed at the Radioactive Ion Beam Factory (RIBF), RIKEN, where the parent nuclide, Te140, was produced through the in-flight fission of a U238 beam at 345 MeV per nucleon impinging on a Be9 target. Based on data from the high-efficiency γ-ray spectrometer, EUROBALL-RIKEN Cluster Array (EURICA), we constructed a decay scheme of I140. The half-life of Te140 has been determined to be 350(5) ms. A level at 926 keV has been assigned as a (1+) state based on the logft value of 4.89(6). This (1+) state, commonly observed in odd-odd nuclei, can be interpreted in terms of the πh11/2νh9/2 configuration formed by the Gamow-Teller transition between a neutron in the h9/2 orbital and a proton in the h11/2 orbital. We observe a sharp contrast to this type of β-decay branching to the lower-lying 1+ states between I140 and I136, where we see a large reduction as the number of neutrons increases. This is in contrast to the prediction by large-scale shell model calculations. To investigate this type of the suppression, results of the Nilsson model calculations will be discussed. Along the isotones with N=87, we discuss a characteristic feature of the Gamow-Teller distributions at 1+ states with respect to the isospin difference.

We study for the first time the internal structure of Te140 through the β-delayed γ-ray spectroscopy of Sb140. The very neutron-rich Sb140 nuclei with Z=51 and N=89 were produced by the in-flight fission of U238 beams at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory, RIKEN. The half-life and spin-parity of Sb140 are reported as 173±12 ms and 3-, respectively. In addition to the excited states of Te140 produced by the β-decay branch, the β-delayed one-neutron and two-neutron emission branches were also established. By identifying the first 2+ and 4+ excited states of Te140, we found that Te isotopes persist in their vibrator character with E(4+)/E(2+)=2. We discuss the distinctive features manifest in this region revealed in pairs of isotopes with the same neutron holes and particles with respect to N=82.

Features in the data mirror the interplay between pairing effects and microscopic structure. r-process network calculations performed for a range of mass models and astrophysical conditions show that the 57 half-lives measured for the first time play an important role in shaping the abundance pattern of rare-earth elements in the solar system.

The neutron-rich nuclei Nd158,160 have been studied via delayed γ-ray spectroscopy of μs isomeric states at the RIBF facility, RIKEN.

The isomeric states have measured half-lives of 339(20) ns and 1.63(21) μs for Nd158 and Nd160, respectively. From the observed γ decays and the systematics of levels in the neighboring Nd isotopes first level schemes were constructed for these nuclei. The isomeric states of Nd158,160 have been assigned spins of (6-) and (4-), with proposed ν5/2[523]' - ν7/2[633] and ν1/2[521]' - ν7/2[633] configurations, respectively.

For the first time, the γ decay of excited states has been observed in a nucleus situated in the quadrant south-east of doubly magic Sn132, a region in which experimental information so far is limited to ground-state properties. Six γ rays with energies of 50, 86, 103, 227, 357, and 602 keV were observed following the β-delayed neutron emission from Cd85133, populated in the projectile fission of a U238 beam at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory at RIKEN within the EURICA project. The new experimental information is compared to the results of a modern realistic shell-model calculation, the first one in this region very far from stability, focusing in particular on the π0g9/2-1 - ν1f7/2 particle-hole multiplet in In83132. In addition, theoretical estimates based on a scaling of the two-body matrix elements for the πh11/2-1 - νg9/2 analog multiplet in Tl127208, one major proton and one major neutron shell above, are presented.

In the EURICA campaign aimed at exploration of the Ni78 region, an isomeric state of Co76 has been observed via γ-ray spectroscopy. The nuclei were produced by in-flight fission of a U238 beam at the Radioactive Isotope-Beam Factory. Two coincident γ rays of 192.02(30) and 446.4(7) keV from the decay of a t1/2=2.96(2529)μs isomeric state of Co76 have been observed. The decay of the isomer was assigned to an E1 transition with a reduced transition probability of B(E1;3+→2-)=1.79(16)×10-8 W.u. A β-decaying state with spin-parity 1- and a half-life of 16(4) ms was also observed in the data, and the known state with a half-life of 22(57) ms was assigned to have a spin-parity of 8-. Furthermore, the isomer of Ni76 has been remeasured to 547.8(33) ns giving a B(E2;8+→6+) value of 0.786(5) W.u. A new excited state at 2994.6(5) keV, decaying via a γ ray of 2004.5(4) keV, has also been observed. This is in agreement with either of the predicted 02+ or 22+ states. These results are discussed in terms of the shell model and the interaction of the νp1/2 and πf7/2 orbitals.

We report on the first β-decay data of Sb138 to Te138 isotopes beyond the doubly magic Sn132. The parent nucleus was produced by the in-flight fission of a U238 beam on a Be9 target at 345 MeV per nucleon and measured at the BigRIPS separator of the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory at RIKEN. By using advanced β-γ spectroscopy techniques, the half-life and the tentative spin-parity of Sb138 were measured to be 346(19) ms and (3-), respectively. In addition, we observed several low-lying non-yrast states in Te138 for the first time. Our data allowed us to rearrange the positions of the first 2+ and 4+ states in this nucleus and to construct the level scheme of Te138 in accordance with shell-model calculations. Additionally, we extend energy systematics of Te isotopes within neutron numbers 54 and 86.

A decay spectroscopy experiment was performed within the EURICA campaign at RIKEN in 2012. It aimed at the isomer and particle spectroscopy of excited states and ground states in the mass region below the doubly magic ¹⁰⁰Sn. The N = Z nuclei ⁹⁸In, ⁹⁶Cd and ⁹⁴Ag were of particular interest for the present study. Preliminary results on the neutron deficient nuclei ⁹³Ag and ⁹⁴Ag are presented. In ⁹⁴Ag a more precise value for the half-life of the ground state's superallowed Fermi transition was deduced. In addition the energy spectra of the mentioned decay could be reproduced through precise Geant4 simulations of the used active stopper SIMBA. This will enable us to extract Q_β values from the measured data. The decay of ⁹³Ag is discussed based on the observed implantation-decay correlation events.

The β-decay half-lives of 110 neutron-rich isotopes of the elements from ₃₇Rb to ₅₀Sn were measured at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory. The 40 new half-lives follow robust systematics and highlight the persistence of shell effects. The new data have direct implications for r-process calculations and reinforce the notion that the second (A ≈ 130) and the rare-earth-element (A ≈ 160) abundance peaks may result from the freeze-out of an (n, γ) ⇄ (γ,n) equilibrium. In such an equilibrium, the new half-lives are important factors determining the abundance of rare-earth elements, and allow for a more reliable discussion of the r process universality. It is anticipated that universality may not extend to the elements Sn, Sb, I, and Cs, making the detection of these elements in metal-poor stars of the utmost importance to determine the exact conditions of individual r-process events.

The β decay of Cd¹²⁹, produced in the relativistic fission of a U²³⁸ beam, was experimentally studied at the RIBF facility at the RIKEN Nishina Center. From the γ radiation emitted after the β decays, a level scheme of In¹²⁹ was established comprising 31 excited states and 69 γ-ray transitions. The experimentally determined level energies are compared to state-of-the-art shell-model calculations. The half-lives of the two β-decaying states in Cd¹²⁹ were deduced and the β feeding to excited states in In¹²⁹ were analyzed. It is found that, as in most cases in the Z<50, N≤82 region, both decays are dominated by the ν0g_7/2→π0g_9/2 Gamow-Teller transition, although the contribution of first-forbidden transitions cannot be neglected.

We have been studying the structure of Mg isotopes in the region of the N = 20 island of inversion, to clarify the structure change as a function of the neutron number. The experiments are being performed by our unique method of β-decay spectroscopy taking advantage of highly-spin-polarized radioactive nuclear beams at TRIUMF. The β-decay asymmetry in the Na-isotope decay enables unambiguous spin-parity assignments of the levels in the daughter Mg isotope, and it becomes possible to compare the experimental data and theoretical predictions on a level-by-level basis. The present paper reports on the results of the β decay of 30Na→30Mg. From the detailed decay scheme of 30Na, it is suggested that the 30Mg levels at 1.788 MeV [(0+2 )], 3.460 MeV [(2)+], 4.967 MeV [1+], and 5.414 MeV [2+] have deformed shapes with intruder configurations, whereas the level at 2.466 MeV [(2+2 )] has different nature both from the spherical ground state and the deformed four levels. It is proposed that the 2+2 level is the band-head of the predicted γ-band.
