Coulomb excitation paths of high-K isomer bands in 178Hf.

چکیده
Three distinctly different mechanisms are shown to populate the K(pi)=6(+) (t(1/2)=77 ns), 16(+) (31 yr), and 8(-) (4 s) isomer bands of 178Hf by Coulomb excitation. High spin states of the three isomer bands were populated by Coulomb excitation of a hafnium target with a 650 MeV 136Xe beam. Although direct population of high-K bands is highly K-forbidden, isomer bands in 178Hf were populated up to spins 13(+)(K=6), 20(+)(K=16), and 14(-)(K=8) with in-band gamma yields of approximately 10(-4) of the ground state band. The data are consistent with a rapid increase in K mixing with increasing spin in the isomer bands.

Breakdown of K selection in 178Hf.
Coulomb activation of the four quasiparticle Kpi=16+ 178Hf isomer (t1/2=31 y) has led to the measurement of a set of Elamda matrix elements coupling the isomer band to the ground band. The present data combined with earlier 178 Hf Coulomb excitation data have probed the components in the wave functions and revealed the onset and saturation of K mixing in low-K bands, whereas the mixing is negli...
متن کاملNew Structures in Hf and Coulomb Excitation of Isomers
A 985 MeV Hf beam was Coulomb excited by a 208 Pb target at the ATLAS accelerator of Argonne National Laboratory. Gammasphere and the CHICO particle detector recorded particle-γ coincidence data. The aim was to populate and determine the mechanism of previously observed Coulomb excitation of the Kπ = 6 (t1/2 = 77 ns) ,8 (4 s) and 16 (31 y) isomer bands. New rotational bands were identified incl...

Sub-Doppler excitation spectroscopy in a collimated cold supersonic beam of 5% NO seeded in argon has been performed with a spectral resolution down to 10 MHz for four vibronic bands within the perturbed B ?X A system of NO . The rotational temperature of about 15 K achieved by adiabatic cooling allows the separation of closely lying vibronic bands which overlap in absorption spectra ...
متن کاملElectromagnetic properties of vibrational bands in 170 Er
Excited states of the nucleus Er have been studied by Coulomb excitation using the GASP γ-ray detector system at the Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro. The ground-state band along with a low-lying K = 0 band and γ-vibrational band were populated during the experiment. Based on the measured γ-ray yields, a set of interband and intraband matrix elements has been extracted using the Coulomb excitati...

Intermediate-energy projectile Coulomb excitation of the unstable nucleus Fg.s. and its short-lived Ex = 1.1 MeV (J = 5) isomeric state (t1/2 = 162 ns) F have been studied at 30 MeV per nucleon. Radioactive beams of Fg.s. and F nuclei were produced by nucleon transfer on a carbon production target and delivered to a secondary Au target for Coulomb excitation. Photons emitted in the vicinity of ...
