Angular correlations in internal pair conversion of aligned heavy nuclei.

چکیده
We calculate the spatial correlation of electrons and positrons emitted by internal pair conversion of Coulomb excited nuclei in heavy ion collisions. The alignment or polarization of the nucleus results in an anisotropic emission of the electron-positron pairs which is closely related to the anisotropic emission of γ-rays. However, the angular correlation in the case of internal pair conversion exhibits diverse patterns. This might be relevant when investigating atomic processes in heavy-ion collisions performed at the Coulomb barrier.

متن کاملAnomalous Internal Pair Conversion Signaling Elusive Light Neutral Particles
Abstract. In this paper we report on a systematic search for a neutral boson in the mass range between 5 and 15 MeV/c2 in the decay of highly excited nuclei. Its signature is found a deviation in the angular correlation of the e+e− pairs from conventional internal pair conversion (IPC) resulting from of its two-body decay kinematics. With an e+e− pair-spectrometer, a number of transitions has b...

A multi-detector array has been constructed for the simultaneous measurement of energyand angular correlation of electron-positron pairs produced in internal pair conversion (IPC) of nuclear transitions up to 18 MeV. The response functions of the individual detectors have been measured with mono-energetic beams of electrons. Experimental results obtained with 1.6 MeV protons on targets containi...
متن کاملAnalytical potential for the elastic scattering of light halo nuclei in the Coulomb field of heavy targets
Light halo nuclei are exotic and weakly-bound systems that have attracted much interest during the past decades [1]. In particular neutron-rich nuclei near the dripline provide a new path for studying nuclear matter and correlations at low densities. In these nuclei, the halo is often formed by one or several loosely attached (valence) neutrons with binding energies of less than 1 MeV and with ...
متن کاملRelativistic Pseudospin Symmetry as a Supersymmetric Pattern in Nuclei
The doublet structure (for n ≥ 1) is expressed in terms of a “pseudo” orbital angular momentum l̃ = l + 1 and “pseudo” spin, s̃ = 1/2, coupled to j = l̃ − 1/2 and j = l̃ + 1/2. For example, [ns1/2, (n − 1) d3/2] will have l̃ = 1, etc. The states in Eq. (1) involve only normal-parity shellmodel orbitals. The states (n = 0, l, j = l + 1/2), with aligned spin and no nodes, are not part of a doublet. Th...
