Coulomb excitation of the odd-odd isotopes 106, 108In

Fission Cross - Section Measurements of the Odd - Odd Isotopes 232 Pa , 238 Np , and 236 Np

Transmutation of actinide waste into fission products could be enhanced by using resonance fISsion of odd-odd target materials; those of interest are mpa, 238Np, and u2Am. Fission cross-section . measurements of two of these short-lived materials were performed at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Samples were produced by the (d,2n) reaction in the Los Alamos Ion Beam Facility followed by fast ra...

A description of odd mass W-isotopes in the Interacting

The negative and positive parity low-spin states of the even-odd Tungsten isotopes, 183,185,187W are studied in the frame work of the Interacting Boson-Fermion Approximation (IBFA) model. The fermion that is coupled to the system of bosons is taken to be in the negative parity 2f7/2, 2f5/2, 3p3/2, 3p1/2 and in the positive parity 1i13/2 single-particle orbits. The calculated energies of low-spi...

Particle-rotor Model Description of Doubly Odd Ta Isotopes

The doubly odd Ta isotopes are studied within the framework of the particle-rotor model. The main aim of this study is to obtain information on the neutron-proton interaction in deformed nuclei, with particular attention focused on the role of the tensor force. To this end, both zero-range and finite-range phenomenological interactions are considered. Comparison of the calculated results with e...

Odd Independent Transversals are Odd

We put the final piece into a puzzle first introduced by Bollobás, Erdős and Szemerédi in 1975. For arbitrary positive integers n and r we determine the largest integer ∆ = ∆(r, n), for which any r-partite graph with partite sets of size n and of maximum degree less than ∆ has an independent transversal. This value was known for all even r. Here we determine the value for odd r and find that ∆(...
