Decoupling of proton and neutron many interesting structure arise • PIGMY resonance / Low –lying dipole strength observed both proton and neutron-rich nuclei • Clustrization Can study through decay Exotic decay mode -delayed three proton decay Two-proton radio activity Alpha decay Decay of Intermediate Mass Fragments Schematic Diagram of nuclear potential
Physics Interest First , 14C clusters, H. Rose et al, Nature 307 BARDWICK, et al PRC 34, (Rap. Comm)1986 Systematic study of decay properties of nuclei near proton-drip line Mass region A~110-120 near proton drip line are enriched with a large variety of structural information Predicted as “a new island of cluster” Exotic decay modes beta delayed proton, beta delayed alpha heavier exotic clusters
AIM: Systematic study of decay properties of 114-118Ba • Study of detailed delayed proton and alpha decay What we can learn!!!!! > Resonance states, Quasi bound proton, alpha states >Coupling to continuum ISOLDE, 3rd November 2011
Systematic reduction of alpha decay width, experimentally observe (Te-Xe) Cluster structure For Baisotopes , what we can expect!!!!!! • Test of theoretical model near drip line, residual interaction, Z.Janas et al ,EPJ PN-QRPA cannot explain 117Ba decay data was not explained by pn-QRPS, residual interaction!!!!! Decay from even-even to odd-odd isotope may give important information regarding , pairing and n-p interaction near drip line I. Hamamoto, PRC 48; 1993
Test of 112-115Ba beam counts for future measurement Motivation for future measurement 112Ba (N=Z) , not known (half life, etc.) Search for super allowed alpha decay 112Ba 108Xe 104Te 100Sn • Delayed proton, alpha, exotic cluster decay mode • Systematic reduction of alpha width in medium heavy nuclei Cluster structure • Neutron-proton pairing
AZBa Delayed Proton/alpha decay b+ Decay properties in this region AZ-1Cs Mainly explored by Fusion Evaporation Will measure using exotic beam p A-1Z-2Xe • Properties of proton orbital • Single particle structure • Nuclear shapes • Nuclear life-times • of the daughter (Cs) • Properties of proton orbital • Single particle structure • Nuclear shapes • Nuclear life-times • of the Parent (Ba)

Experiment Shifts required: (real measurement) 118Ba ( t1/2 ~5.5 sec) ----- (105/sec) 6 shifts (p~ 4x10-4/sec, ~ 4x10-5/sec 117Ba ( t1/2 ~1.75 sec) ----(104/sec ) 6 shifts (p~ 0.13/sec, ~ 4x10-4/sec 116Ba ( t1/2 ~1.35 sec) -------(104/sec ) 6 shifts ((p~ 0.03/sec, ~ 4x10-4/sec 112-115Ba ( t1/2 < 1 sec) ---(beam count 4 shifts for future studies) Total …….22 shifts. Aim: To measure the exotic decay mode of 116-118Ba To measure life time of the nuclear level isotopes (proton unbound state) Beam development/statistics of 112-115Ba ISOLDE, 3rd November 2011
Experimental Set-up:: • Measurement delayed proton, alpha, • X or g-ray in coincident with delayed p or alpha • Measurement of nuclear level lifetime of the order of sub pico-seconds or femto- seconds (10-16-10-18 sec
