Probing the width of compound states with rotational gamma rays
نویسندگان
چکیده
The intrinsic width of (multiparticle-multihole) compound states is an elusive quantity, of difficult direct access, as it is masked by damping mechanisms which control the collective response of nuclei. Through microscopic cranked shell model calculations, it is found that the strength function associated with two-dimensional gamma-coincidence spectra arising from rotational transitions between states lying at energies > 1 MeV above the yrast line, exhibits a two-component structure controlled by the rotational (wide component) and compound (narrow component) damping width. This last component is found to be directly related to the width of the multiparticle-multihole autocorrelation function. PACS: 21.10.Ky, 21.10.Re, 21.60.-n, 23.20.Lv, 25.70.Gh

Damping of rotational and compound states in warm nuclei
The damping widths associated with compound states of rotating deformed nuclei is analyzed by means of the microscopic shell model calculations. Because of the doorway mechanism present in the damped collective rotation, the rotational E2 transitions is characterized by not only the rotational damping width Γrot but also the spreading width Γnpnh of many-particle many-hole shell model states fo...

Background: Boron and gadolinium are among the nuclides that hold a unique property of being a neutron capture therapy agent. Neutron beams have often a considerable portion of gamma rays with fast neutrons. Gamma rays, as beam contaminants, can cause considerable damage to normal tissues even if such tissues do contain high boron concentrations. Materials and Methods: The modification of radio...

This paper presents the study on the effect of detector type in estimating gamma rays buildup factor. In this regard, the flux buildup factors of gamma rays emitted by an isotropic point 60Co source in mean energy 1.253 MeV was evaluated after passing through the Pb, W, Zn, and Ti sample in thickness of 1-5 cm by MCNPX. Four common detector types in simulation of measurement was defined to esti...
متن کاملGamma-ray Strength Functions in Thermally Excited Rotating Nuclei
A general discussion and illustration is given of strength functions for rotational transitions in two-dimensional Eγ1 × Eγ2 spectra. Especially, a narrow component should be proportional to the compound damping width, related to the mixing of basis rotational bands into compound bands with fragmented transition strength. Three Eγ1 × Eγ2 spectra are made by setting gates on triple coincidences,...
