Experimental apparatus at KUR-ISOL to identify isomeric transitions from fission products, and decay spectroscopy of Ce
نویسندگان
چکیده
Decay studies on 151Ce have been performed using the on-line isotope separator connected to the Kyoto University Reactor. In addition to conventional γ and conversion electron spectroscopy, β-gated measurements were carried out on massseparated 151Ce to identify an isomeric transition. From the analysis of the obtained data, the half-life of the isotope was ascertained to be 1.76(6) s and a decay scheme containing six excited levels was constructed for the first time. The excited level at 35.1 keV in 151Pr was found to be a long-lived state (a half-life of approximately 10 μs or longer).

Thin targets of 238U were bombarded with 45, 55, 65 and 69 MeV protons at the Cyclotron and Radioisotope Center (CYRIC) of Tohoku University in Japan. Gamma rays emitted from the fission products were recorded and analyzed by using gamma spectroscopy. Then, the cross sections for the formation of fission products, fragment mass distributions, and total fission cross sections were measured. Spec...

Fission of 238U nuclei was performed by 45-69 MeV protons at the Cyclotron and Radioisotope Center of Tohoku University in Japan. The fission products originated in the reaction were identified by using gamma spectroscopy. The experimental data show that the charge distribution of isobar fission products follows a Gaussian distribution with a standard deviation independent of the selected mass...

Neutron-rich rare-earth isotopes were produced by in-flight fission of 238U ions at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF), RIKEN, Japan. In-flight fission of a heavy, high-intensity beam of 238U ions on a light target provides the cleanest secondary beams of neutron-rich nuclei in the rareearth region of isotopes. In-flight fission is advantageous over other methods of nuclear production,...

The neutron-rich nuclei Nb and Zr have been populated using in-flight fission of a U beam at 345 MeV/nucleon at the RIBF facility. A T1/2 = 150(30) ns isomer at 313 keV has been identified in Nb for the first time. The low-lying levels in Nb have been also populated following the β-decay of Zr. Based on the difference in feeding pattern between the isomeric and β decays, the decay scheme from t...
