Although the results are smaller by over an order of magnitude from those obtained with a Ni-58 beam at 75 MeV/nucleon on a nickel target, the rates of reaction products are found to be larger in the case of high-energy fragmentation of Kr-78. The experimental cross sections for the most neutron-deficient isotopes of even-Z nuclei between zinc and krypton were analyzed in the framework of the abrasion-ablation model. A very good agreement with the data was found when the nuclear masses predicted by a particular variant of the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov mass model were used. The prospects for the observation of more exotic isotopes in this region are discussed in context of 2p radioactivity.. |

This level is assigned a spin and parity of 7/2+, with a half-life of 336(5) ns. The isomer was produced and spin aligned via the abrasion-fission of a 238U primary beam at RIKEN RIBF. A magnetic moment 2.31(14) μN was deduced showing that this isomer is not single particle in nature. A comparison of the experimental values with interacting boson-fermion model IBFM-1 results shows that this state is strongly mixed with a main d5/2 composition. Furthermore, it was found that monopole single-particle evolution changes significantly with the appearance of collective modes, likely due to type-II shell evolution.. |

Yang, Interplay between nuclear shell evolution and shape deformation revealed by the magnetic moment of 75Cu, Nature Physics, 10.1038/s41567-018-0410-7, 15, 4, 321-325, 2019.04, [URL], Exotic nuclei are characterized by having a number of neutrons (or protons) in excess relative to stable nuclei. Their shell structure, which represents single-particle motion in a nucleus may vary due to nuclear force and excess neutrons, in a phenomenon called shell evolution. This effect could be counterbalanced by collective modes causing deformations of the nuclear surface. Here, we study the interplay between shell evolution and shape deformation by focusing on the magnetic moment of an isomeric state of the neutron-rich nucleus 75Cu. We measure the magnetic moment using highly spin-controlled rare-isotope beams and achieve large spin alignment via a two-step reaction scheme that incorporates an angular-momentum-selecting nucleon removal. By combining our experiments with numerical simulations of many-fermion correlations, we find that the low-lying states in 75Cu are, to a large extent, of single-particle nature on top of a correlated 74Ni core. We elucidate the crucial role of shell evolution even in the presence of the collective mode, and within the same framework we consider whether and how the double magicity of the 78Ni nucleus is restored, which is also of keen interest from the perspective of nucleosynthesis in explosive stellar processes.. |

In taking advantage of superfluid helium as a host matrix for laser spectroscopy, we were able to develop an extremely low background detection system. The first demonstration using 85 Rb 31+ ion beam (66 MeV/nucleon) accelerated at the RIKEN accelerator facility shows improvement of detection limit by two orders of magnitude. A quantitative evaluation of Rb atoms in the observation region enables an analysis of their optical absorption cross-section in superfluid helium from the fluorescence intensity dependence on ion-beam intensity and applied laser power.. |

The method is basically the measurement of track volume by the widths, depths, and angles of tracks of exposed nuclei of 1 H, 4 He, 7 Li, 9 Be, and 11 B in nuclear emulsion at RIken Projectile-fragment Separator of RIKEN Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory. After their calibration by α particles, we obtained a quadric function to present a unified recognition of tracks with volume ratios of five nuclei to the α particles. The function in the emulsion has been applied to a candidate event of a Ξ hypernucleus for identification of the production and decay processes. We succeeded in recognizing a daughter nuclear fragment of a single-Λ hypernucleus as 6 He with a likelihood ratio of 0.9; the process was then uniquely identified as Ξ − + 14 N → Λ 9 Be + Λ 5 He + n.. |

However, unexpected changes were found for unstable nuclei around N = 20. With both proton and neutron numbers around the magic number of 20, the neutron-rich 39Cl isotope provides a good test case for the study of the quantumstate evolution across the major shell. In the present work, the negative parity states in 39Cl are investigated through the β decay spectroscopy of 39S. Newly observed γ transitions together with a new state are assigned into the level scheme of 39Cl. The spin parity of 5/2- for the lowest negative parity state in 39Cl is reconfirmed using the combined γ transition information. These systematic observations of the negative parity states in 39Cl allow a comprehensive comparison with the theoretical descriptions. The lowest 5/2- state in 39Cl remains exotic in terms of comparisons with existing theoretical calculations and with the neighboring isotopes having similar single-particle configurations. Further experimental and theoretical investigations are suggested.. |

By applying a correction based on the observed change in the 131Xe frequency, the frequency instability due to magnetic field and cell temperature drifts are eliminated by two orders of magnitude. The frequency precision of 6.2 μHz is obtained for a 104 s averaging time, suggesting the possibility of future improvement to ≈ 1 nHz by improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the observation.. |

From the measured quadrupole coupling constant νQ=2.31(4) MHz in an α-Al2O3 crystal, a precise value for the electric quadrupole moment is extracted: QsAl33=141(3) mb. A comparison with large-scale shell model calculations shows that Al33 has at least 50% intruder configurations in the ground state wave function, favoring the excitation of two neutrons across the N=20 shell gap. Al33 therefore clearly marks the gradual transition north of the deformed Na and Mg nuclei towards the normal Z≥14 isotopes.. |

As a result, the majorsources of drift of the precession frequency in the present spin oscillator setup wereidentified to be drifts of a solenoid current and an environmental magnetic field. Byintroducing stabilization systems for the current and the environmental field, whichyielded improvements by one order of magnitude on the solenoid current and by a factor ofthree on the environmental field, a frequency precision of 7.9 nHz was obtained for aone-shot measurement of 3 ×104s duration. We found, however, that the Allan deviationleveled off at around 30 μHz, indicating a strong need for the precisionmonitor of the experimental conditions represented by magnetometry. The frequencystability of the spin oscillator is discussed in relation to an experimental search for anelectric dipole moment of the 129Xe atom.

This study demonstrates the possibility of obtaining considerable nuclear spin alignment for multi-quasiparticle states in single-nucleon removal reactions. The time-dependent perturbed angular distribution (TDPAD) method was used to extract the gyromagnetic factor of the (13/2+) [T1/2=351(14) ns] isomeric state of Cu69. Its g factor was obtained as g(13/2+)=0.248(9). The experimentally observed spin alignment for the state of interest was deduced as A=−3.3(9)%.. |

The performance of a cell which contains both 129Xe and 131Xe was investigated. In the best cell among those fabricated this time, the signal-to-noise ratio in a free induction decay experiment turned out to be large enough for the operation as co-existing 129Xe-131Xe masers.. |

The new laser system was prepared to provide higher laser power required for the stable operation of spin maser oscillations in the 129Xe EDM experiment. We studied the optimum cell temperature and pumping laser power to improve the degree of 129Xe spin polarization. The best performance was achieved at the cell temperature of 100 ∘C with the presently available laser power of 1 W. The results show that a more intense laser is required for further improvement of the spin polarization at higher cell temperatures in our experiment.. |

In this experiment, the amplitude of the maser oscillation signal is one of the most important parameters that eventually determine the frequency precision. The amplitude is proportional to the ratio of the transverse spin relaxation time T2 to the effective longitudinal spin relaxation time (Formula presented.). In particular, for a spin maser of 3He (a co-magnetometer) for which (Formula presented.) typically reaches ∼50 h, a long T2 is needed. T2 depends on the homogeneity of the magnetic field which is applied with coils in order to keep the spins under precession. In the present report, we discuss on the design and construction of a new coil which provided a root-mean square (rms) field gradient of less than 5.0 μG/cm. The result of the field measurement has shown that the field gradient in the cell fulfills the target condition (Formula presented.), and in fact T2 of 3He has been measured to be as long as 11,000 s.. |

In order to reduce systematic uncertainties arising from long-term drifts of the external magnetic field and from the contact interaction between longitudinal polarized Rb atoms and 129Xe spin, a 3He comagnetometer with a double-cell geometry was employed. The remaining shift, which turned out to show some correlation with the cell temperature, was mitigated by stabilizing the cell temperature. As a result, the frequency drift of the 129Xe maser was reduced from 12 mHz to 700 μHz, and the determination precision of frequency of 8.7 nHz was obtained for a 2×104 s measurement time using the double-cell geometry cell.. |

This method obtains an RI beam with a high production yield while producing universally high spin alignment for a large variety of RIs. A proof-of-principle experiment was performed at the RIKEN RIBF facility [2]. By applying this method, it is expected that the measurement of the nuclear moment of an unstable nucleus, which was previously impossible, can be accomplished. In this article, after discussing the conventional mechanism for producing a spin orientation, the principle of the new method, demonstration experiments, evaluations based on the results of these experiments, and future prospects are described.. |

Rb ion beams (>60 MeV/u) provided by the RIKEN projectile fragment separator (RIPS) were injected and trapped into He ii. The stopping position of atoms in He ii was precisely confirmed by laser spectroscopy. By optically pumping the trapped Rb isotopes, large atomic spin polarization (up to 40%) of each observed isotope in the ground state was achieved. The laser-radio-frequency double-resonance spectra were observed for stable 85,87Rb isotopes as well as for unstable isotopes 84,84m,86Rb by scanning a weak magnetic field with a fixed-frequency RF field. From the measured Zeeman splitting, nuclear spin values for 84m,84-87Rb isotopes were determined with reasonable accuracy. The number of ions injected into He ii for the resonance spectra measurement was on the order of 104 particles per second. This work may open new opportunities for the study of various particles trapped in condensed helium in several fields.. |

The deformation length of 30Ne (δ(p,p′)=1.59-0.09+0.08 fm) is smaller than that of 32Mg (1.83-0.11+0.10 fm), which exhibits the largest quadrupole collectivity among the neutron-rich N=20 isotones. Along the magnesium isotopic chain, the deformation lengths of 34Mg and 36Mg were deduced to be 2.30-0.10+0.09 fm and 1.90-0.17+0.16 fm, respectively. The evolution of quadrupole deformation in the vicinity of 32Mg is discussed by comparing the present results with the theoretical calculations.. |

A new process has been identified to take part in the optical detection of spin precession. The parameters controlling the oscillation of the maser in this new double-cell arrangement were optimized. As a result, the frequency shift has been reduced by a factor of 10 or more from the former single-cell geometry.. |

An analysis by using double Gaussian functions resolved the observed momentum distribution into two reaction components, nucleon knockout and pick-up abrasion reactions, suggested in a previous study. The behavior of the observed angular distribution and nuclear polarization implies the influence of those two components. The momentum dependence of the observed nuclear polarization of ^P could be consistently reproduced by a simple model, in which two reaction components are considered. The present study also shows that the charge exchange reaction at intermediate energy is a useful method to produce polarized beta-emitting nuclei, especially for proton-rich nuclei.. |

An optical model analysis revealed that the spin-orbit potentials for 6He and 8He are characterized by shallow and long-ranged shape compared with the global systematics of stable nuclei. Such a characteristics reflect a diffused density distribution of the neutron-rich isotopes.. |

This is a method based on the combination of superfluid helium as a stopper of radioactive isotope (RI) beam and in-situ laser spectroscopy of RI atoms. This unique method will enable us to measure nuclear spins and electromagnetic moments of extremely low yield RI (less than 1 particle per second). To confirm the feasibility of this method for rare radioisotopes, we carried out the first on-line experiment with a 87Rb beam, aiming at evaluating the minimum beam intensity required for the measurement. The LIF (Laser Induced Fluorescence) photons from the 87Rb atoms stopped in He II are successfully observed in the on-line experiment. The obtained LIF intensity is nearly consistent with the intensity calculated from the photo-absorption cross section of atoms in He II.. |

The results are found to be incompatible with a t-matrix folding model prediction.

By combining the results of the delayed γ-ray and proton measurements, the entire decay scheme of 24Si was reconstructed, then the B(GT) of 24Si was deduced. Focusing to the low-lying states, the B(GT) of 24Si to the 11+ and 12+ states in 24Al were smaller than that of the mirror nucleus 24Ne by 22 % and 10 %, respectively. The mirror asymmetry of B(GT) indicates the configuration change in the wave function. Through the comparison with theoretical shell-model calculations, it is implied that the configuration change is attributed to the lowering of the 1s 1/2 orbital. The applicability of the theoretical calculations was checked using overall B(GT) distribution.. |

The observation of an allowed transition to the 1.090-MeV state enabled us to firmly determine its spin-parity as 1+. In the proton measurements performed with the ΔE-E method, we observed a new unbound level at 6.735 MeV. The branching ratios to three unbound states, including the new level, were also determined for the first time. Based on the decay scheme, the B(GT) values of 24Si were deduced.

To clarify the mechanism of this asymmetry, a comparison with shell-model calculations is also discussed.

For the first time, a direct comparison is made between the continuous rf technique and the adiabatic fast passage method. The obtained coupling constants of both methods are in excellent agreement with each other and a precise value for the quadrupole moment of 31Al has been deduced: | Q (31Al) | = 134.0 (16) mb. Comparison of this value with large-scale shell-model calculations in the sd and sdpf valence spaces suggests that the 31Al ground state is dominated by normal sd-shell configurations with a possible small contribution of intruder states. The obtained value for | Q (31Al) | and a compilation of measured quadrupole moments of odd-Z even-N isotopes in comparison with shell-model calculations shows that the proton effective charge ep = 1.1 e provides a much better description of the nuclear properties in the sd-shell than the adopted value ep = 1.3 e.. |

The experimental data are well reproduced by large-scale shell model calculations, which suggest the important role of the proton particle-hole 2p3/2-1f5/2 excitation in the configuration of the 22+ state.. |

The measured mean lifetime is 18.9±0.9(stat)±4.4(syst) ps, corresponding to a B(E2;21+→0g.s.+) value of 4.3±0.2±1.0e2 fm4, or about 1.5 Weisskopf units. The mean lifetime of the first 2+ state in C16 was remeasured to be 18.3±1.4±4.8 ps, about four times shorter than the value reported previously. The discrepancy between the two results was explained by incorporating the γ-ray angular distribution measured in this work into the previous measurement. These transition strengths are hindered compared to the empirical transition strengths, indicating that the anomalous hindrance observed in C16 persists in C18.. |

We applied a solid polarized proton target, which was operated in a low magnetic field of 88 mT and at high temperature of 100 K, to a radioactive-isotope beam experiment. Low energy recoil protons were successfully detected due to the modest operation conditions of the target. Selection of p+6He elastic scattering events was clearly carried out with detected protons. Absolute values of the analyzing power were determined for the first time.. |

Based on the reaction cross section, β2pp′ deformation parameter of the transition is deduced by distorted wave analysis. Comparing it with the electric quadrupole moment of the nucleus, it is shown that the deformation of the neutron distribution is large (βn∼0.6), and the neutron effective charge is much smaller (en |

Cr46 was produced by the fragmentation of a Cr50 primary beam at 80 MeV/nucleon. By means of β-γ coincidence measurements, a γ-ray peak at 993 keV corresponding to the decay of the 11+ state in V46 was observed.

The transition strength was determined to be B(GT)=0.64±0.20. This result was compared with theoretical values calculated with the shell model and the phenomenological quasideuteron model.. |

The existence of an isomer in the nucleus is predicted by shell model calculations which also predicts the ground-state of the nucleus to be 1/2+. An isomeric transition is however not observed in the present investigation. An estimation of upper limit of isomer ratio in the beam is discussed. Furthermore, the non-observation of an isomer includes the possibility of 19C having a different ground state spin. The 17C and 17B nuclei were also investigated for delayed gamma transitions but do not exhibit any isomeric transition.. |

The data set provides a useful systematic study of first excited states of neutron rich boron isotopes showing the dramatic drop in excitation energy beyond N = 8.. |
