Abstract

A light ion focal plane detector of 1.2 m length using single wire proportional detectors and cathode readout is described. Focal plane reconstruction and vertical position determination is achieved. Good background reduction and 0.6 mm FWHM detector resolution has been obtained with standard electronic setup. In operation with the spectrograph a 2.7 keV linewidth has been observed for elastic scattering of 20 MeV deuterons from a 50 μg/cm² Au-strip target, 0.5 mm wide.

Low-spin mixed particle-hole structures in 185W
2005, Nuclear Physics A
The level structure of ¹⁸⁵W has been studied using the prompt and delayed gamma–gamma coincidences from thermal neutron capture in ¹⁸⁴W accompanied with the one-nucleon transfer reactions $(d, p)$ and $(d, t)$ with polarized beams. From these data and those of previous studies a total of 183 levels has been established for energies below 3 MeV. Many of these states have been grouped into rotational bands built on 28 intrinsic states of quasiparticle and quasiparticle-plus-phonon character. Although the DWBA analysis permitted definite spin–parity assignments for most of states a large number of particle transitions have ‘anomalous’ angular and asymmetry shapes with respect to the DWBA which indicate an influence of strong mixing between particle and hole states. The extra exchange of phonons and the significance of configurational $Δ N = \pm 2$ mixing across the Fermi surface lead to a fine structure in the fragmentation of most single-particle strengths and at the same time has the effect of breakdown of the individual properties of Nilsson states. The accumulated $l = 1$ $(d, p)$ sum is about a factor two smaller than the equivalent $(d, t)$ strength. Thus, the previously observed loss of the $(d, p)$ strength in the W nuclei with $A = 184, 185$ is presumably because of their redistribution amongst particle- and hole-type states. The observed states below 2 MeV are compared with predictions of the quasiparticle–phonon nuclear model.
Interplay of quasiparticle and phonon excitations in 181Hf observed through (n,γ) and (d,p) reactions
2002, Nuclear Physics A
Nuclear levels of ¹⁸¹Hf were investigated in the range up to 3 MeV excitation energy by (n,γ) and (d,p) reactions. Over 170 levels and about 390 γ-transitions were established most of them for the first time. 25 rotational bands were identified. Comparison of the results of the two reactions yields information on the fine structure in the fragmentation of Nilsson strength. The states below 2 MeV with the most complete spectroscopic information were interpreted in terms of the Quasiparticle Phonon Model (QPM). Excitation energies, electromagnetic transition rates, γ-branchings and spectroscopic factors are discussed in connection with their possible structure.
The structure of the parity-doublet bands in 231Pa
1996, Nuclear Physics A
The level structure of ²³¹Pa was investigated by means of the ²³¹Pa(d,d′), ²³¹Pa(p,p′) and ²³²Th(p,2nγ) reactions and Coulomb excitation and by means of the electron-capture decay of ²³¹U to ²³¹Pa. Two low-lying opposite-parity bands based on the K^π = 1/2^± states were observed up to spins 31/2⁻ and 21/2⁺, respectively. From the E1/E2 branching ratios the intrinsic electric dipole moment was determined to be |D₀| ≈ 0.04 e·fm. Weak Coulomb excitation of other bands was observed. The structure of ²³¹Pa is compared to that of ²²⁹Pa, in particular with regard to octupole effects. The level scheme and transition intensities in Coulomb excitation are analyzed in the framework of the quasiparticle + phonon model.
The nuclear structure of 229Pa from the 231Pa(p,t)229Pa and 230Th(p,2nγ)229Pa reactions
1994, Nuclear Physics, Section A
The level structure of the ²²⁹Pa nucleus has been investigated by means of the ²³¹Pa(p,t)²²⁹Pa and ²³⁰Th(p,2nγ)²²⁹Pa reactions. Triton angular-distribution measurements were subjected to a CCBA analysis and combined with the results of in-beam conversion electron and γ-ray spectroscopy to establish a level scheme. Two low-lying bands of opposite parity were observed up to spins $232^{−}$ and $172^{+}$ , respectively. Rotational bands built on some 0⁺ excitations of the even-even core can be assigned. The lowest states of three further low-lying bands are observed. The level scheme is interpreted in terms of an octupole-deformed core with an unpaired proton. From the E1/E2 branching ratio the electric dipole moment can be deduced ⊢D₀⊢ = (0.09 ± 0.04) e·fm.
Study of 112Cd via high-resolution (d, d′) and (p, p′) reactions and IBA model calculations
1994, Nuclear Physics, Section A
High-resolution inelastic-scattering measurements on ¹¹²Cd with polarized deuterons (20 MeV) and polarized protons (16 and 65 MeV) provide complete spectroscopic information. Transition moments are obtained from the angular distributions of the cross section and analyzing power in a coupled-channel reaction analysis. The results are compared with interacting boson model predictions aiming to describe intruder states, quadrupole-hexadecapole and quadrupole-octupole excitations.
Study of low-lying excitations in 110Pd
1993, Nuclear Physics, Section A
High resolution inelastic scattering measurements with 20 MeV polarized deuterons and results of recent Coulomb excitation studies of Hasselgren et al. on ¹¹⁰Pd are compared with predictions from new IBA calculations, where configuration mixing or $Q ̂ Q ̂$ interaction between like bosons was included to describe intruder states and triaxial features, respectively. The spectroscopic properties of the four low-energy collective bands are well described.
