Excited-state spectroscopy from the first Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) experiment is reported. A 24(2)-$\mu$s isomer was observed with FRIB Decay Station initiator (FDSi) through a cascade of 224- and 401-keV $\gamma$ rays in coincidence $^{32}\textrm{Na}$ nuclei. This only known microsecond ($1{\text{ }\mu\text{s}}\leq T_{1/2} < 1\text{ ms}$) region. nucleus at heart $N=20$ island shape inversion crossroads spherical shell-model, deformed ab initio theories. It can be represented...
New half-lives for exotic isotopes approaching the neutron drip-line in vicinity of N∼28 Z=12-15 were measured at Facility Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) with FRIB decay station initiator. The first experimental results are compared to latest quasiparticle random phase approximation and shell-model calculations. Overall, consistent available theoretical descriptions suggest a well-developed region deformation below ^{48}Ca N=28 isotones. erosion Z=14 subshell closure Si is experimentally...
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,...
Background: The established GAseous Detector with GErmanium Tagging (GADGET) detection system is used to measure weak, low-energy β-delayed proton decays.It consists of the gaseous Proton equipped a MICROMEGAS (MM) readout detect protons and other charged particles calorimetrically, surrounded by Segmented Germanium Array (SeGA) for high-resolution prompt γ-rays.Purpose: To upgrade GADGET's operate as compact Time Projection Chamber (TPC) detection, 3D imaging identification singleand...
