Abstract

X-rays from pionic and kaonic In, Ho and Ta and from pionic Bi have been measured in order to determine quadrupole moments from the hyperfine splitting. The strong interaction monopole shifts ε₀ and widths Γ₀ have been deduced and compared with predictions of a deformed optical-model calculation. Data have been obtained for the pionic 3d levels in In, Ho, ¹⁶⁸Er, Yb and Ta; pionic 4f levels in Ho, ¹⁶⁸Er, Yb, Ta and Bi and kaonic 6h levels in Ho, Yb and Ta.

Nuclear Structure and Decay Data for A=165 Isobars
2024, Nuclear Data Sheets
Experimental nuclear spectroscopic data are compiled and evaluated for 18 known nuclides of mass 165 (Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Hf, Ta, W, Re, Os, Ir, Pt). Detailed information is presented for each reaction and decay experiment. Combining all the available data, recommended values are provided for energies, spins and parities, and half-lives of levels, with energies, branching ratios and multipolarities of γ radiations, and characteristics of β and α radiations in radioactive decays. ¹⁶⁵Dy, ¹⁶⁵Ho, ¹⁶⁵Er, ¹⁶⁵Tm, ¹⁶⁵Yb, ¹⁶⁵Lu and ¹⁶⁵Hf are among the most extensively studied nuclides via decay and high-spin gamma-ray spectroscopy measurements, followed by limited data for ¹⁶⁵Tb, ¹⁶⁵Ta, ¹⁶⁵W, ¹⁶⁵Re, and ¹⁶⁵Os. No excited states have yet been identified in ¹⁶⁵Sm, ¹⁶⁵Gd, and ¹⁶⁵Pt, while for ¹⁶⁵Eu and ¹⁶⁵Ir, information is available for only the g.s. and an isomer, but with no γ rays. This work supersedes earlier evaluation of A=165 nuclides by 2006Ja09.
Fine– and hyperfine structure semi–empirical studies of the neutral and singly ionised bismuth. Determination of the nuclear quadrupole moment of <sup>209</sup>Bi
2021, Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer
Semi–empirical analyses of the fine– and hyperfine structure for both parities of atomic and ionic bismuth were conducted in a multiconfiguration approach. Four sets of independent hyperfine structure (hfs) radial parameters were determined by means of a many–body parametrization method. The Sternheimer free value of the nuclear quadrupole moment (Q) of $^{209}$ Bi was determined. Four sets of independently derived hfs radial parameters led to consistent Q values.
Decays, contact P-wave interactions and hyperfine structure in Ω<sup>-</sup> exotic atoms
2008, Nuclear Physics A
Contact P-wave interactions connected to the Larmor interaction of a magnetic dipole and Thomas spin precession in the filed of an electric quadrupole are described and their implications for spectroscopy of exotic $Ω^{-}$ -atoms are studied. In order to evaluate the magnitude of the contact P-wave interactions as compared to the conventional long-range interactions and the sensitivity of spectroscopic data to the $Ω^{-}$ -hyperon quadrupole moment, we consider 2P states of $Ω^{-}$ atoms formed with light stable nuclei with spins $I ⩾ 1 / 2$ and atomic numbers $Z ⩽ 10$ . The energy level splitting caused by the contact interactions is 2–5 orders of magnitude smaller than the conventional long-range interactions. Strong decay widths of $p Ω^{-}$ atoms due to reactions $p Ω^{-} \to Λ Ξ^{0}$ and $p Ω^{-} \to Σ Ξ$ , induced by t-channel kaon exchanges, are calculated. $Ω^{-}$ atoms formed with the light nuclei have strong widths 5–6 orders of magnitude higher than splitting caused by the contact interactions. The low-L pattern in the energy spectra of intermediate- and high-Z $Ω^{-}$ atoms thus cannot be observed. The $Ω^{-}$ quadrupole moment can be measured by observing X-rays from circular transitions between high-L levels in $Ω^{-}$ exotic atoms. The effect of strong interactions in ${}^{208}{Pb} Ω^{-}$ atoms is negligible starting from $L \sim 10$ . The contact P-wave interactions exist in ordinary atoms and μ-meson atoms.
In-medium nuclear interactions of low-energy hadrons
2007, Physics Reports
Exotic atoms provide a unique laboratory for studying strong interactions and nuclear medium effects at zero kinetic energy. Experimental and theoretical developments of the last decade in the study of exotic atoms and some related low-energy reactions are reviewed. The exotic atoms considered are of $π^{-}, K^{-}, \bar{p}, Σ^{-}$ , and also the so far unobserved $Ξ^{-}$ atoms. The analysis of these atomic systems consists of fitting density-dependent optical potentials $V_{opt} = t (ρ) ρ$ to comprehensive sets of data of strong-interaction level shifts, widths and yields across the periodic table. These provide information on the in-medium hadron–nucleon t matrix $t (ρ)$ over a wide range of densities up to central nuclear densities. For pions, the review focuses on the extraction of the $π N$ in-medium s-wave interaction from pionic atoms, which include also the deeply bound $π^{-}$ atomic states recently observed at GSI in isotopes of Sn and Pb. Also included are recent measurements at PSI of elastic scattering of $π^{\pm}$ on Si, Ca, Ni and Zr at 21.5 MeV. The experimental results are analyzed in the context of chirally motivated $π$ -nuclear potentials, and the evidence for partial restoration of chiral symmetry in dense nuclear matter is critically discussed. For antikaons, we review the evidence from $K^{-}$ atoms, and also from low-energy $K^{-} p$ scattering and reaction data for and against a deep $\bar{K}$ -nucleus potential of 150–200 MeV attraction at nuclear matter density. The case for relatively narrow deeply bound $K^{-}$ atomic states is made, essentially independent of the potential-depth issue. Recent experimental suggestions from KEK and DA $Φ$ NE (Frascati) for signals of $\bar{K}$ -nuclear deeply bound states are reviewed, and dynamical models for calculating binding energies and widths of $\bar{K}$ -nuclear states are discussed. For kaons we review the evidence, from $K^{+}$ total and reaction cross section measurements at the AGS (BNL) on Li, C, Si and Ca at $p_{lab} = 500 - 700 MeV / c$ , for significant absorptivity of $t_{KN} (ρ)$ beyond that expected from $t_{KN}^{free}$ within the impulse approximation. Attempts to explain the extra absorptivity for the relatively weak interaction of K mesons in terms of a hypothetical exotic $S =+ 1$ pentaquark $Θ^{+}$ strength are reviewed. For antiprotons the exceptionally broad data base due to the recent results of the PS209 collaboration at CERN are analyzed, together with results of radiochemical experiments. We discuss the dependence of the phenomenological $\bar{p}$ -nucleus interaction on the model adopted for the neutron density, showing how the neutron densities favored by our comprehensive analysis are compatible with densities from other sources, including our own analysis of pionic atoms. It is also shown how the strong absorptivity of the $\bar{p}$ -nucleus interaction, which leads to the prediction of saturation of widths in deeply bound $\bar{p}$ -atom states, also explains the observed saturation effects in low-energy $\bar{p}$ annihilation on nuclei. For $Σ$ hyperons we review the evidence, from continuum $Σ^{-}$ hypernuclear $(π^{-}, K^{+})$ spectra obtained recently at KEK on C, Si, Ni, In and Bi, for substantial repulsion in the $Σ$ -nucleus interaction, and the relationship to the inner repulsion established earlier from the density-dependence analysis of $Σ^{-}$ atoms and by analyses of past $(K^{-}, π^{\pm})$ AGS experiments.
Lastly, for $Ξ$ hyperons we review prospects of measuring X-ray spectra in $Ξ^{-}$ atoms and thereby extracting meaningful information on the $Ξ$ -nucleus interaction. The significance of the latter to the physics of $Λ Λ$ hypernuclei and to extrapolation into multistrange hypernuclei are briefly reviewed.
Nuclear Data Sheets for A = 165
2006, Nuclear Data Sheets
Nuclear spectroscopic information for known nuclides of mass number 165 (Eu,Gd,Tb,Dy,Ho,Er,Tm,Yb,Lu,Hf,Ta,W,Re,Os,Ir) with Z = 63 to 77 and N = 102 to 88 have been evaluated and presented together with adopted energies and Jπ of levels in these nuclei. No excited state data are yet available for ¹⁶⁵Eu, ¹⁶⁵Gd and ¹⁶⁵Tb. In ¹⁶⁵Re an isomer is known at about 50 keV; in ¹⁶⁵Os, about 15 gamma rays are known but no level scheme has been proposed; and in ¹⁶⁵Ir, the the ground state has not yet been identified, but an isomeric state at about 180 keV has been established. Fairly rich structures are known for all the other A = 165 nuclides. Triaxial Superdeformed structures are known in ¹⁶⁵Lu (five SD bands). This evaluation supersedes previous full evaluations of A = 165 by 1987Pe01 and 1974Bu29, a midstream evaluation (in update mode) by 1992Pe04 with literature cutoff date of November 1990, and evaluation of ¹⁶⁵Lu nuclide by 1999Si16. Extensive new data have since become available for most of the nuclides of A = 165 and have been included in the current evaluation.
Nuclear data sheets for A = 181
2005, Nuclear Data Sheets
The nuclear structure and the decay data for all the isobars of A = 181 are presented in this evaluation. New levels of ¹⁸¹Hf were studied by (n,γ), (pol d, p), (d, pγ) and (²³⁸U,²³⁷U'γ) reactions. New levels of ¹⁸¹Ta were studied by (p,nγ), (p, d), Coulomb excitation and heavy ion reactions. Heavy ion reactions added information to high spin states of ¹⁸¹Re, ¹⁸¹Os and ¹⁸¹Ir. In addition, ¹⁸¹Hg and ¹⁸¹Tl structures are also studied by α–decay experiments. The present evaluation supersedes the earlier one on A = 181 by R.B. Firestone (1991Fi01), published in Nuclear Data Sheets 62, 101 (1991), and the ones on ¹⁸¹Pt, ¹⁸¹Au and ¹⁸¹Hg, by C.M. Baglin, published in Nuclear Data Sheets 87, 197 (1999), 87, 225 (1999) and 87, 239 (1999).
