We measure the average spin of 144Ba, a common fragment produced in 252Cf(sf), as function total kinetic energy (TKE). combine twin Frisch-gridded ionization chamber with world-class 𝛾-ray spectrometer that was designed to high-multiplicity events, Gammasphere. The chamber, loaded 252Cf(sf) source, provides fission trigger, TKE fragments, approximate masses, and polar angle axis. Gammasphere yield, identification through tagging decay 𝛾 rays, feeding rotational bands fragments. determine...
Introduction Direct reactions are crucial tools for accessing properties of the atomic nucleus. Fundamental and exotic phenomena such as collective modes, pairing, weakbinding effects evolution single-particles energies can be investigated in peripheral collisions between a heavy nucleus light target. The necessity using inverse kinematics to reveal how these structural change with isospin imbalance renders direct challenging technique when missing mass method. Methods In this scenario,...
The astrophysical origin for the chemical elements between first and second $r$-process peaks is a matter of intense debate, with number nucleosynthesis processes at explosive stellar environments possibly contributing to their production. Modeling neutron-capture that would produce these requires reliable data on trends neutron separation energies neutron-rich isotopes which are highly unstable not readily accessible by experiment. This work describes application an experimental technique,...
Radiative double-electron capture, which can be considered the inverse of double photoionization, has been investigated for 2.11 MeV/u F9+ and F8+ projectiles colliding with two-dimensional target single-layer graphene. Preliminary results cross sections are obtained presented compared our previous measurements one-dimensional gas targets N2 Ne, three-dimensional thin-foil C, most accurate theoretical that currently exist. The graphene reported here reasonable when F9++N2, Ne given...
