Nuclear shape changes can bring about rapid changes in nuclear properties. That such vibrational #-># symmetric rotor #-># asymmetric nucleus changes may be present in the A approximately 100 region is suggested by rapid, low-energy level density changes and unexpected #beta#-decay rate changes in several series of odd-odd and odd-mass fisions product nuclei. In order to define the nature of these nuclei we have performed measurements on a series of nuclei using JOSEF and Lohengrin mass separators, fast-chemistry, and n-capture #gamma#-ray techniques. Here we summarize the several features we find.

The #beta# decay half-lives of neutron-rich isotopes with Z=24-28 are calculated in the QRPA with a Gamow-Teller residual interaction. For odd-mass and odd-odd systems QRPA phonon correlations are introduced to quasiparticle transitions in first-order perturbation. The calculated half-lives agree very well with the experimental values. For later application of this model to nuclei far from stability, we have examined the dependence of the calculated half-lives on the model parameters. (orig.).

The intrinsic energy levels in the doubly odd isotopes of Np with mass number 238 and of Am with mass numbers 240, 242 and 244 are calculated using the zero-range neutron-proton residual interaction whose parameters are evaluated using the atomic masses and the ground state Gallagher-Moszkowski splitting energy in each case. A configuration dependence of the residual interaction is in evidence in several cases. The results are compared with the experimental data and the comparison is used to check on the two-particle configuration assignments to the intrinsic states in the respective spectra. Encouraged by the nature and the degree of the agreement of the theory with the available experimental data, predictions are made about the expected location of the as yet unobserved two-quasiparticle states in these nuclei.

Origin: New evaluation (Crouch 1, 2, 3, 4; UKFY1; JEF-1). A new evaluation of fission product yields from the thermal, fast, and 14 MeV neutron-induced fission of the following nuclides has been prepared in ENDFB-VI format: "2"3"2Th, "2"3"3U, "2"3"4U, "2"3"5U, "2"3"6U, "2"3"8U, "2"3"7Np, "2"3"8Np, "2"3"8Pu, "2"3"9Pu, "2"4"0Pu, "2"4"1Pu, "2"4"2Pu, "2"4"1Am, "2"4"2"mAm, "2"4"3Am, "2"4"3Cm, "2"4"4Cm, "2"4"5Cm; and from the spontaneous fission of "2"4"2Cm, "2"4"4Cm, and "2"5"2Cf

Low-lying nuclear energy levels in "1"1"0In and "1"1"2In were determined from de-excitation #gamma#-rays produced with "1"0"7Ag(#alpha#,n#gamma#)-"1"1"0In, "1"0"8Pd("6Li,4n#gamma#)"1"1"0In, "1"0"9Ag(#alpha#,n#gamma#)"1"1"2In and "1"1"0Pd("6Li,4n#gamma#)"1"1"2In reactions. In addition, the "1"1"4In energy level structure was investigated with the "1"1"0Pd("7Li,3n#gamma#)"1"1"4In reaction. Properties of de-excitation #gamma#-rays were determined from #gamma#-#gamma# coincidence, excitation, and angular distribution measurements conducted with Ge(Li) and Ge(intr.) #gamma#-ray detectors. A sequence of intraconnected levels in each of "1"1"0,"1"1"2,"1"1"4In were assigned to the (#pi#g"-"1/sub 9/2/, #nu#h/sub 11/2/) configuration. For the "1"1"0,"1"1"2,"1"1"4In energy level schemes a model calculation has been performed using the pairing-plus-quadrupole model, which reproduced states of the (#pi#g"-"1/sub 9/2/, #nu#h/sub 11/2/) multiplets quite well. A value of the proton-neutron coupling ...

Laser spectroscopy measurements have been performed on neutron-deficient and stable Ir isotopes using the COMPLIS experimental setup installed at ISOLDE-CERN. The radioactive Ir atoms were obtained from successive decays of a mass-separated Hg beam deposited onto a carbon substrate after deceleration to 1kV and subsequently laser desorbed. A three-color, two-step resonant scheme was used to selectively ionize the desorbed Ir atoms. The hyperfine structure (HFS) and isotope shift (IS) of the first transition of the ionization path 5d"76s"2"4F_9_/_2#->#5d"76s6p"6F_1_1_/_2 at 351.5nm were measured for "1"8"2"-"1"8"9Ir, "1"8"6Ir"m and the stable "1"9"1","1"9"3Ir. The nuclear magnetic moments #mu#_I and the spectroscopic quadrupole moments Q_s were obtained from the HFS spectra and the change of the mean square charge radii from the IS measurements. The sign of #mu#_I was experimentally determined for the first time for the masses 182#=#+0.2 for the lighter group A=186g, 185, 184, 183 ...
