Abstract

By the bombardment of ⁵⁸Ni and ⁵⁴Fe targets with 250 Mev ⁵⁸Ni beams two proton radioactive nuclides have been produced and identified as ¹¹³Cs and tentatively as ¹⁰⁹I. The observed half-lives and proton energies are $T_{12= 0.9_{−0.4}^{+1.3}μs, E_{P}= 0.98 ± 0.08 MeV}$ for ¹¹³Cs and $T_{12} > 25 μs, E_{P} = 0.83 ± 0.08 MeV$ for ¹⁰⁹I.

A systematic analysis for one proton radioactivity of ground state nuclei
2023, Nuclear Physics A
We systematically studied proton radioactivity half-lives in the atomic number range $53 \leq Z \leq 83$ using macroscopic models such as Coulomb and Proximity potential model, effective liquid drop model (ELDM), Generalized liquid drop model (GLDM), Universal decay law for proton emission (UDLP), Gammow-like model (GLM) and Unified fission model (UFM). The proton decay half-lives produced by the macroscopic models are compared with those of semi-microscopic approach such as DDM3Y and using effective interaction potentials such as JLM, M3Y+EX, R3Y+EX, SLy4, SRG, SKC and SKD. After detail analysis, it is found that among macroscopic models ELDM and semi-empirical formula UDLP produce proton decay half-lives close to experiments. Furthermore, among semi-microscopic approach, DDM3Y produces proton decay half-lives close to the experiments. Thus, Both ELDM and DDM3Y model can be effectively used in the prediction of half-lives of unexplored proton emitters.
Proton decay of actinide nuclei
2020, Nuclear Physics A
The half-lives of one-proton emitters in the actinide region are presented using the coulomb and proximity potential method. The studied proton decay half-lives are compared with that of other decay modes such as alpha decay, spontaneous fission and beta decay. We have identified proton emitters in the actinide region and also it is the competing decay mode for all the observed proton emitters. We have included the effects of deformations in the present study. One-proton decay half-lives of present study have shown good agreement with the available experimental values.
Evaluation of fusion-evaporation cross-section calculations
2018, Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms
Calculated fusion-evaporation cross sections from five different codes are compared to experimental data. The present comparison extents over a large range of nuclei and isotopic chains to investigate the evolution of experimental and calculated cross sections. All models more or less overestimate the experimental cross sections. We found reasonable agreement by using the geometrical average of the five model calculations and dividing the average by a factor of 11.2. More refined analyses are made for example for the ¹⁰⁰Sn region.
Nuclear Data Sheets for A = 109
2016, Nuclear Data Sheets
Evaluated nuclear structure and decay data for all nuclei with mass number A = 109 (Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Tc, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Cd, In, Sn, Sb, Te, I, Xe) are presented. The experimental data are compiled and evaluated, and the best values for level and gamma-ray energies, quantum numbers, lifetimes, gamma-ray intensities, and other nuclear properties are recommended. Inconsistencies and discrepancies that exist in the literature are noted. This work supersedes the earlier evaluation by J. Blachot (2006Bl02), published in Nuclear Data Sheets 107, 355 (2006).
Nuclear Data Sheets for A = 112

Evaluated nuclear structure and decay data for all nuclei within the A = 112 mass chain are presented. The experimental data are evaluated and best values for level and gamma-ray energies, quantum numbers, lifetimes, gamma-ray intensities, and other nuclear properties are recommended. Inconsistencies and discrepancies that exist in the literature are noted. This work supersedes the earlier evaluation by D. De Frenne and E. Jacobs (1996De55), published in Nuclear Data Sheets 79, 639 (1996).
High-spin states beyond the proton drip-line: Quasiparticle alignments in <sup>113</sup>Cs
2015, Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics
Excited states have been studied in the deformed proton emitter ¹¹³Cs. Gamma-ray transitions have been unambiguously assigned to ¹¹³Cs by correlation with its characteristic proton decay, using the method of recoil-decay tagging. Two previously identified rotational bands have been observed and extended to tentative spins of 45/2 and $51 / 2 ħ$ , with excitation energies over 8 MeV above the lowest state. These are the highest angular momenta and excitation energies observed to date in any nucleus beyond the proton drip-line. Transitions in the bands have been rearranged compared to previous work. A study of aligned angular momenta, in comparison to the predictions of Woods–Saxon cranking calculations, is consistent with the most intense band being based on the $π g_{7 / 2} [422] 3 / 2^{+}$ configuration, which would contradict the earlier $π h_{11 / 2}$ assignment, and with the second band being based on the $π d_{5 / 2} [420] 1 / 2^{+}$ configuration. The data suggest that the band based upon the $π h_{11 / 2}$ configuration is not observed.
