Abstract

A study of the (³He, ⁷Be) reaction has been undertaken using a 70 MeV ³He beam. By surveying a wide range of target nuclides, namely ^{12, 13}C, ¹⁶O, ^{24, 26}Mg, ^{40, 42, 44}Ca, ^{58, 60, 62, 64}Ni, ⁹⁰Zr, ^{120, 124}Sn, ¹⁴⁴Sm and ²⁰⁶Pb, systematics of the α-clustering phenomenon were investigated. In addition, masses and energy levels of ⁶⁰Fe and ¹²⁰Cd were measured. The ⁷Be particles were detected in a single wire proportional counter backed by a plastic scintillator in the focal plane of an Enge spectrometer to ensure adequate particle identification. Total energy resolution as small as 140 keV full width at half maximum was obtained, although in most cases the target thickness limited the energy resolution to larger values. Differential cross sections as low as 20 nb/sr were measured. The finite range programs LOLA and LOLITA were used to calculate differential cross sections for comparison to data, assuming the reaction to proceed by a direct α-transfer. The spectroscopic factors which were extracted show a marked decrease with increasing atomic mass number, implying a decrease in surface α-clustering for heavier nuclei.

The experimental nuclear structure data and decay data are evaluated for the known nuclides of mass 40 (Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, Ar, K, Ca, Sc, Ti). Detailed evaluated nuclear structure information is presented with the best values recommended for level energies, half-lives, γ-ray energies and intensities, decay properties (energies, intensities and placement of radiations), and other spectroscopic data. The ⁴⁰Ca and ⁴⁰K nuclides remain as the most extensively studied from many different reactions and decays; no excited states are known in ⁴⁰Mg, ⁴⁰Al, ⁴⁰P and ⁴⁰Ti. This work supersedes the earlier full evaluation of A=40 by J. Cameron and B. Singh (2004Ca38).

The experimental nuclear spectroscopic data for known nuclides of mass number 86 (Ga, Ge, As, Se, Br, Kr, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Tc) have been evaluated and presented together with Adopted properties for levels and γ rays. New high-spin data are available for ⁸⁶Se, ⁸⁶Br, ⁸⁶Kr, ⁸⁶Sr, ⁸⁶Y, ⁸⁶Zr and ⁸⁶Mo; and lifetime data for high-spin states in ⁸⁶Y and ⁸⁶Zr. No significant new data since the 2001 NDS for A=86 have been reported for ⁸⁶Rb and ⁸⁶Nb. No data are yet available for excited states in ⁸⁶Ga and ⁸⁶As. The decay scheme of radioactive ⁸⁶Ge is unknown, while those for ⁸⁶Ga, ⁸⁶As, 47.4 min isomer of ⁸⁶Y, ⁸⁶Nb and ⁸⁶Tc are deemed as incomplete. Isomerism in ⁸⁶Nb remains unconfirmed. This work supersedes the data presented in the previous NDS evaluation of A=86 published by 2001Si43.
