Spectroscopy of element 115 decay chains.

چکیده
A high-resolution α, x-ray, and γ-ray coincidence spectroscopy experiment was conducted at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung. Thirty correlated α-decay chains were detected following the fusion-evaporation reaction 48Ca + 243Am. The observations are consistent with previous assignments of similar decay chains to originate from element Z=115. For the first time, precise spectroscopy allows the derivation of excitation schemes of isotopes along the decay chains starting with elements Z>112. Comprehensive Monte Carlo simulations accompany the data analysis. Nuclear structure models provide a first level interpretation.

Superheavy-element spectroscopy: Correlations along element 115 decay chains
Following a brief summary of the region of the heaviest atomic nuclei yet created in the laboratory, data on more than hundred α-decay chains associated with the production of element 115 are combined to investigate time and energy correlations along the observed decay chains. Several of these are analysed using a new method for statistical assessments of lifetimes in sets of decay chains.
متن کاملGamma-Ray Spectroscopy of Nuclei Along the Z=115 Decay Chain
During the past decade correlated α-decay chains have been observed in several independent experiments using Ca-induced fusion-evaporation reactions on actinide targets [1]. These are interpreted to originate from the production of isotopes with proton numbers Z = 113-118. In a recent experiment at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH in Darmstadt, Germany, using the reaction ...
متن کاملNon-destructive measurement of active-layer thickness of LR 115 SSNTD
LR 115 is a solid-state nuclear track detector (SSNTD) based on cellulose nitrate and has been commonly used for measurements of concentrations of radon gas and/or radon progeny. These measurements depend critically on the removed thickness of the active layer during etching. However, the thickness of removed layer calculated using the etching period does not necessarily provide a su6ciently ac...
متن کاملMicroscopic Dynamics and Topology of Polymer Rings Immersed in a Host Matrix of Longer Linear Polymers: Results from a Detailed Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study and Comparison with Experimental Data
We have performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of melt systems consisting of a small number of long ring poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) probes immersed in a host matrix of linear PEO chains and have studied their microscopic dynamics and topology as a function of the molecular length of the host linear chains. Consistent with a recent neutron spin echo spectroscopy study (Goossen et al., Phy...
متن کاملResummation of QCD Corrections to the ηc Decay Rate
We examine the ratio of the decay rate of the ηc into light hadrons to the decay rate into photons and find that most of the large next-to-leading-order (NLO) correction is associated with running of the strong coupling αs. We resum such contributions by analyzing final-state chains of vacuum-polarization bubbles. We show that the nonperturbative parts of the bubble chains can be absorbed into ...
