Spectroscopy of neutron rich nuclei using cold neutron induced fission of actinide targets at the ILL: The EXILL campaign
نویسندگان
چکیده
One way to explore exotic nuclei is to study their structure by performing -ray spectroscopy. At the ILL, we exploit a high neutron flux reactor to induce the cold fission of actinide targets. In this process, fission products that cannot be accessed using standard spontaneous fission sources are produced with a yield allowing their detailed study using high resolution -ray spectroscopy. This is what was pursued at the ILL with the EXILL (for EXOGAM at the ILL) campaign. In the present work, the EXILL setup and performance will be presented.

de The ( n , ) campaigns at EXILL
At the PF1B cold neutron beam line at the Institut Laue Langevin, the EXILL array consisting of EXOGAM, GASP and ILL-Clover detectors was used to perform (n, ) measurements at very high coincidence rates. About ten different reactions were measured in autumn 2012 using a highly collimated cold neutron beam. In spring 2013, the EXOGAM array was combined with 16 LaBr3(Ce) scintillators in the EXI...
متن کاملModel calculations of a two-step reaction scheme for the production of neutron-rich secondary beams
A two-step reaction scheme for the production of extremely neutron-rich radioactive beams, fission followed by cold fragmentation, is considered. The cross sections of the second step, the cold fragmentation of neutron-rich fission fragments, are estimated with different computer codes. Discrepancies between an empirical systematics and nuclear-reaction codes are found. PACS: 25.40.Sc Spallatio...
متن کاملProduction of medium-mass neutron-rich nuclei from fragmentation of Sn
Medium-mass neutron-rich nuclei are important for nuclear structure investigations (e.g. shell evolution with neutron excess) and nuclear astrophysics (e.g. r-process in nucleosynthesis). However, these investigations are limited because of the difficulties in producing medium-mass nuclei with a large neutron excess. The traditional way for producing neutron rich nuclei was fission of actinides...
متن کاملNew features in the stability and fission decay of superheavy Thorium isotopes
Superheavy isotopes are highly neutron rich nuclei in the vicinity of neutron drip-line, stabilized by shell effect against the instability due to repulsive component of nuclear force, analogous to superheavy elements similarly stabilized against Coulomb instability. Here we discuss the stability and fission decay properties of such nuclei in the Th region and show that they are stable against ...

We have calculated the fission fragment angular anisotropy for 16O + 232Th,12C + 236U , 11B + 237 Np , 14 N + 232 Th , 11B + 235U , 12C + 232Th systems with the saddle point statistical model and compared the fission fragment angular anisotropy for these systems. This comparison was done with two methods a) without neutron correction and b) with neutron correction. Also we studied normal and ...
