Abstract

The masses of ^{204–210, 212}Fr and ^224–228Fr have been determined with direct on-line mass spectrometry. From previously known Q_a values, the masses of 28 isotopes of Pa, Ac, At, Bi and Tl are deduced. All these experimental masses are compared with the current mass predictions.

Nuclear data sheets for A = 210
2003, Nuclear Data Sheets
Evaluated spectroscopic data for all nuclei with mass number A=210, and corresponding level schemes from radioactive decay and reaction studies are presented. Highlights of this evaluation include: An extensive study of the ²⁰⁸Pb(⁷Li,5γ) reaction (2001Ba79), which has provided new information on the level structure of ²¹⁰At up to an energy of of about 9 MeV. Also, strong evidence for the discovery of a new isotope, ²¹⁰Th (1995Uu01,1995Le41).
Method for precision measurement of the masses of short-lived nuclides with application of stable isobars
1992, Nuclear Inst. and Methods in Physics Research, B
The distinction of the suggested scheme of the experiment is the application of the isobaric doublets method in determining the masses of short-lived nuclides by means of a high-resolution mass spectrometer. This method enables us to considerably decrease the systematic errors of the measurement results in comparison with the previously applied isotopic reference method.
The work was carried out on an experimental complex, the main component of which was a prism mass spectrometer (PMS) with resolution R = 3 × 10⁴, installed on-line with a mass separator and a synchrocyclotron of the LNPI of the Academy of Sciences of Russia. On this installation we measured the masses of the isotopes ^91–97Rb. Samples containing stable reference isotopes ^91,92,94,96Zr, ⁹³Nb or ^95,97Mo were introduced into the ionizer of the PMS for calibration of the mass scale, that was ensured by their ionization simultaneously with radioactive isotopes of rubidium coming from the mass separator. The values of the masses of the stable isotopes used as reference in the suggested method are known with a very high precision (ΔM/M ∼ 3×10⁻⁸), therefore they made a negligible contribution to our experimental errors.
Nuclear data sheets for A = 215,219,223,227
1992, Nuclear Data Sheets
This publication presents evaluated spectroscopic data and corresponding level schemes from radioactive decay and nuclear reaction studies for all nuclei with mass numbers A=215, 219, 223, and 227.
Nuclei with mass number A=215 have spherical shape, and their nuclear structure has been interpreted in terms of the shell model. Nuclei with mass number A=219 belong to a transitional region, with spherical, quadrupole, and possibly, octupole deformations, and those with mass numbers A=223 and 227, to newly studied regions of deformations (pure quadrupole coexisting with possible octupole). Because deformations are small in these regions, nuclear states are no longer fully characterized by single Nilsson orbitals. This terminology, however, is used throughout this evaluation to label states rather than to accurately describe their nature.
Highlights of this publication include the emission of ¹⁴C by ²²³Ra, discovered by Rose and Jones (84Ro30), and its fine structure, measured by Brillard et al. (89Br34). This constitutes a new mode of decay and provides additional arguments for configuration assignments. They further include the first set of nuclear levels in ²¹⁵Fr, ²¹⁵Ra, and ²¹⁵Ac, determined from in—beam γ-ray spectroscopic measurements.
Two major publications have been extensively used in this evaluation: the theoretical paper “Reflection—asymmetric Rotor Model of Odd—A ≈219–229 Nuclei” by Leander and Chen (88Le13), which presents a calculation of single—particle state properties by the coupling of shell—model states to a reflection—asymmetric rotor core; and the review paper “Intrinsic States of Deformed Odd—A Nuclei in the Mass Regions (151≤A≤193) and (A≥221)” by Jain et al. (90Ja11), which gives the systematics and assignments of single—particle states in such mass regions.
These evaluations for A=215, 219, 223, and 227 supersede the earlier ones by C. Maples: 77Ma29, Nuclear Data Sheets 22, 207 (1977); 77Ma30, Nuclear Data Sheets 22, 223 (1977); 77Ma31, Nuclear Data Sheets 22, 243 (1977); and 77Ma32, Nuclear Data Sheets 22, 275 (1977).

Mutual support of magicities and residual effective interactions near <sup>208</sup>Pb
1983, Nuclear Physics, Section A
We summarize experimental evidence in the lead region on the increased stability associated with neutron magic number when the proton number is magic, and vice versa. The effect is interpreted in the framework of the nuclear shell model with empirical effective interactions. Its relation to spherical Hartree-Fock calculations is pointed out and used to test Skyrme-type forces. None of the considered Skyrme interactions reproduce the effect.
