Ground-state transition strengths of the (p, t) reactions for nuclei with A = 23−238
Abstract
Differential cross sections at the first peak of L = 0 angular distributions of ground-state transitions in (p, t) reactions have been measured with a 51.9 MeV proton beam for target nuclei with A = 23–238. Distinct shell-closure effects were observed at N = 28, 50, 82 and 126, but not discernible at N = 20. The transition strengths exhibit maxima at the middle of the major shells except for the region of well-deformed nuclei, where the strengths are appreciably smaller than those for the spherical or vibrational nuclei. The results are compared with the predictions of the interacting boson approximation model (IBA) and with DWBA calculations using form factors deduced from the BCS wave functions.

Nuclear Structure and Decay Data for A=76 Isobars
2024, Nuclear Data SheetsThe experimental nuclear spectroscopic data for known nuclides of mass number 76 (Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, As, Se, Br, Kr, Rb, Sr, Y) have been evaluated and presented together with Adopted properties for levels and γ rays. With the exception of structure data for 76Ga nucleus, significant new data have been incorporated for all the other nuclides of A=76 since the previous 1995 update in ENSDF database and NDS publication 1995Si03. No data are yet available for excited states in 76Fe, 76Cu and 76Y. Decay scheme characteristics for the decay of 76Co, 76Ni, and 76Y are unknown while those for decays of 76Cu and 76Sr seem incomplete. For 76Ni, very little structure data are available, and for 76Ga and 76As, only low-spin ( or so) information is available. This work supersedes the data presented in the previous (1995Si03) NDS evaluation of A=76.
Nuclear Data Sheets for A=64
2021, Nuclear Data SheetsThe evaluated experimental data are presented and evaluated for 13 known nuclides of mass 64 (Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, As, Se). For each nuclide, the best values combining all available data are recommended for spectroscopic properties. No excited states have been identified in 64Ti, 64As, and 64Se. Only one excited state in 64V as an isomer, and three in 64Cr have been identified. Data for excited states in 64Mn, 64Fe, and 64Co remain limited. 64Ni, 64Cu, and 64Zn are the most studied nuclides through various reactions and decays, followed by 64Ga and 64Ge. In the opinion of the evaluators, there are several incomplete or discrepant aspects of the high-spin portion of the level scheme for 64Zn above ≈5 MeV excitation which need to be resolved in further experiments using large γ-detector arrays. The decay schemes of 64Ti β−, 64As ε and 64Se ε are unknown, while very little information is available for 64V β− and 64Cr β−. The decay schemes of 64Mn β−, 64Fe β−, 64Co β− and 64Ge ε are somewhat better known, but still considered incomplete by evaluators. The decay scheme of 64Ga ε decay is known in detail, however there is the possibility of additional levels populated above 4713 keV, as the Q(ε) value is 7171 keV. The β−, β+ and ε decay modes of 64Cu are well known, as this radionuclide is of great importance in applications, for example, as a dosimeter for neutron flux determination in nuclear reactors, and as a radiopharmaceutical for positron emission tomography (PET). This work supersedes earlier full evaluations of A=64 by 2007Si04, 1996Si12, 1991Si03, 1979Ha35 and 1974Au04.
Nuclear Data Sheets for A=194
2021, Nuclear Data SheetsExperimental nuclear structure and decay data are evaluated for all of 14 known nuclides of mass 194 (Ta, W, Re, Os, Ir, Pt, Au, Hg, Tl, Pb, Bi, Po, At, Rn). Detailed evaluated spectroscopic information is presented for each reaction and decay experiment, and by combining all the available data, recommended values are provided for energies, spins and parities and half-lives of levels, together with energies, branching ratios and multipolarities of gamma radiations from the levels, and characteristics of beta and alpha radiations in radioactive decays. No excited states have yet been identified in 194Ta, 194W, and 194Rn. Only limited spectroscopic data are available for 194Re, with a 45−μs isomer identified, but its absolute energy yet to be determined. Only two levels at unknown absolute energies are reported for 194At, both of which are isomeric but neither can be unambiguously identified as the ground state. Data are scarce for 194Os, 194Bi and 194Po, while 194Pt, 194Au, 194Hg, 194Tl and 194Pb are well studied through decays and reactions. For 194Ir, although a major (n, γ), E=thermal study and two particle-transfer studies provide large amounts of spectral data, still several problematic issues are found in the assignment of multipolarities for the secondary gamma transitions in the (n, γ) study by 2008Ba25, 1998Ba85 and 1998Ba42, all from the same group. Some issues have been resolved by the evaluators, but we suggest that further experimental work is needed on 194Ir structure to resolve standing issues, and verify the conclusions made by 2008Ba25. Our attempt to contact the prime authors of the 2008Ba25 paper was not successful. The present work supersedes all the earlier evaluations of A=194 nuclides by 2006Si17, 1996Br26, 1989Si01 and 1972Au11.
Nuclear Data Sheets for A=100
2021, Nuclear Data SheetsEvaluated experimental data are presented for 15 known nuclides of mass 100 (Kr, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Tc, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Cd, In, Sn). Recommended values are given for level parameters, γ and β radiations, and other spectroscopic information. No excited states are known in 100Rb and 100Sn. Except for isotopic identification, no information is available for the decay of the 100Kr isotope, and limited information is known about the decay properties of the 100Sn isotope. According to Fig. 2 (A/Q versus counts plot) and as mentioned in the text in 2021Su01, 100Br isotope was not observed, although, discovery of 101Br was claimed in this work. In the case of 100Pd, the agreement in the orderings of the γ-ray cascades and γ-ray inventory between various studies of high-spin structures remains poor at high excitation energies (>9 MeV). For 100Y, the assignments of the two previously known half-lives to the respective states (g.s. and the 145-keV isomer) remain to be established. This work supersedes earlier full evaluations of A=100 by 2008Si01, 1997Si09, 1990Si05 and 1974Ko37.
Nuclear Data Sheets for A=190
2020, Nuclear Data SheetsThe evaluated experimental data are presented and evaluated for 15 known nuclides of mass 190 (Hf, Ta, W, Re, Os, Ir, Pt, Au, Hg, Tl, Pb, Bi, Po). This work supersedes earlier full evaluations of A=190 by 2003Si05, 1990Si09, 1982Le22 and 1973Sc42. For 190Hf, only the isotopic identification has been made, with no information about the half-life of the ground state or its decay properties. For 190Ta, only one excited state as an isomer has been identified, but with no knowledge about its decay properties. For 190W, 190Re, 190Bi and 190Po, available spectroscopic data are scarce. The decay schemes of 190Ta, 190W, 190Au, 190Hg, 190Au isomer decay, 190Tl (both the activities), 190Pb, and 190Bi (both the activities) are considered incomplete by the evaluators. At present, extensive level structures, both the low-spin and high-spin, are known for 190Os, 190Ir, 190Pt, 190Au, 190Hg, 190Tl and 190Pb, but data for level lifetimes, and γ-ray transition probabilities are generally lacking.
Nuclear Data Sheets for A=98
2020, Nuclear Data SheetsExperimental spectroscopic data on nuclear structure and decay are evaluated for known nuclides of mass 98 (Br, Kr, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Tc, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Cd, In). Detailed evaluation results of individual reactions and decays are presented together with the Adopted values that are recommended for level properties, γ and β radiations, and other spectroscopic information. 98Mo remains as the most extensively studied nuclide via various reactions and decays. Level schemes of Sr, Y, Zr, Tc, and Pd nuclides in this mass chain are also well established to date; while Kr, Rb, Nb, Ag and Cd are amongst the least-studied ones for excited states, with only limited data available for each. On the neutron-rich side, 98Br has been identified in the 9Be(238U,F) reaction, but no spectroscopic data are yet available, while for 98In on the proton-rich side, only the ground state and an isomer are known with half-lives measured but their spin-parities and the absolute level energy of the isomer yet to be determined. While 98Ru and 98Rh have also been extensively studied, large discrepancies exist between the high-spin sections of the proposed level schemes in different measurements, and these need to be clarified and resolved with further experimental investigations to improve the currently-adopted ones, which have been selected from the measurements with higher statistics, considering no other criteria of preference. This work supersedes all the earlier evaluations of A=98 (2003Si07, 1998Si18, 1992Si21, 1983Mu21, 1974Me34).
