  1. Structural Evolution of Neutron-Rich Nuclei Using Thin-Target Deep-Inelastic Reactions Paddy Regan Dept. of Physics University of Surrey, UK e-mail: P.REGAN@SURREY.AC.UK

  2. Outline • Physics of high spins in 100Mo, n-rich SD shell gaps • Importance of using all the experimental parameters to get at the important physics • emission angle • recoil velocity • reaction fold • angular distribution of fragments • isomer tagging ? • Our recent thin-target experiences using CHICO+GAMMASPHERE • 100Mo+136Xe + future work aims for • 208Pb/238U + 100Mo

  3. Nuclei in the Sr-Sn region show dramatic change in structure around N~60. Sudden explosion of b2 deformation in Sr-Ru isotopes at N=60 has been explained by strong spatial overlap of Spin-Orbit Partners (SOPs) g9/2 protons and g7/2 neutrons. (see Federman and Pittel, Phys. Rev. C20 (1979) p820)

  4. h11/2 neutron orbital responsible for 1st crossing in even-even systems. Energy appears to correlate with transition to deformed ground states at N~60

  5. Nuclear Rotations and Vibrations • What are the signatures (in even-even nuclei) ? • (extreme) theoretical limits

  7. Structural change from vibrator to rotator appears to be a regular feature of this region. Rotation stabilized by core stiffening due to population of ‘rotation-aligned’ h11/2 neutrons.N=58 and Mo-Cd seem most dramatic cases. Special type of crossing, Vibrator to Rotor ‘backbend’ PHR, Beausang,Zamfir,et al., PRL 90 (2003) 152502 also using Cranked IBM, see Cejnar and Jolie, PRC69 (2004) 011301

  8. From Dudek et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 59 (1987) p1405 Single particle spectra (for minimised LDM energy at spin 60 hbar) shows distinct gaps for b2~0.5 at Z=42, N=58 (100Mo). Note these are the homologs of A~80 SD (N=42) and A~130 SD (Z=58)

  9. SD (b2=0.4) minimum • predicted in 100Mo to • become yrast around • spins 25-30 h. • ‘Doubly-Magic’ SD • shell gaps at • (Z=42, N=58) = 100Mo. J. Skalski et al.,Nucl. Phys. A617 (1997) p282

  24. Gating on angle gives a dramatic channel selection in terms of population. Relative Intensities of 6+->4+ yrast transitions in TLFs (relative to 100Mo) for 136Xe beam on 100Mo target at GAMMASPHERE + CHICO.

  25. Q-values show how one expects the compound fragments to split.

  27. Emission angle of TLFs can give information/selection on reaction mechanism (and maybe spins input ?)

  30. Isomer gating very useful in DIC experiments. Test with known case….. PHR, A.D.Yamamoto et al., Phys. Rev. C68. (2003) 044313

  31. Use known delayed lines in 101Mo (182 and 57 keV) to identify previously unknown nh11/2 band (+ 34 keV E1 decay).

  33. In general, larger mass beam provides higher spin input, but beware of.…… Q-value effects. Need to think carefully about Beam/target combinations to maximise spine input for nucleus of Interest…flow could go away from nucleus of choice depending on Q-value.

  34. Summary and Conclusions • Gammasphere + CHICO results for 100Mo+136Xe @700 MeV show importance of using ALL parameters (H,K,Q,q) to get channel selection. • AGATA for use with DIC must have ancillary detector to tag recoil direction and velocity (PRISMA, VAMOS, CHICO?). What about isomer tagging ? • Fold (isolated hit probability) and neutrons may be problematic for the highest spins (100 hbar internally between the two fragments is likely!)
