The single-particle and collective features in the nuclei just above Sn-132
Abstract
6 pages, 2 figures.-- PACS nrs.: 24.30.Cz, 25.70.Gh.-- Presented at the Zakopane Conference on Nuclear Physics (Zakopane, Poland, Sep. 4–10, 2006). ; The Advanced Time Delayed method has been used to measure the lifetimes of excited states in the exotic nuclei Sb-134, Sb-135 and Te-136 populated in the beta decay of Sb-134, Sb-135 and Te-136, respectively. High purity Sn beams were extracted at the ISOLDE separator using a novel production technique utilizing the molecular SnS+ beams to isolate Sn from contaminating other fission products. Among the new results we have identified the 1/2+ state in Sb-135 and its E2 transition to the lower-lying 5/2+ state was found to be surprisingly collective. This measurement represents also one of the first applications of the LaBr3 scintillator to ultra fast timing. ; This work was supported by the NSF PHY04-57120, NSF PHY-0555366, Swedish Research Council, BMBF grant 06KY205I, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (WBW), the European Union Sixth Framework through RII3-EURONS (contract no. 506065) and the EU-RTD project TARGISOL (HPRI-CT-2001-50033). ; Peer reviewed
