Outline of Talk

• Thin target multinucleon transfer reactions:– 100Mo+136Xe : alignments, E-GOS plots and some reaction

mechanism info.– 198Pt+136Xe: 136Ba I=10+seniority isomers, effective charges and

some reaction mechanisms– 184W K-isomers and –4p transfer

• Future Aims/ Plans.– 170Dy (ish)– N=50 (ish)

Main physics interest in neutron-rich nuclei is based on the EVOLUTION OF SHELL STRUCTURE and the appearance of

‘large gaps in the nuclear single-particle spectrum’.

Reasons to study neutron-rich nuclei

1) Evolution of collective modes (vibrations, rotations, superdef ?) from spherical states by altering (N,Z,I, Ex).

2) Identification of specific nucleonic orbitals, e.g. via isomeric decays, g-factors, B(E2:I->I-2), effective charges, shell model descriptions, seniority schemes, deformed (Nilsson) schemes etc.

3) Identifying new nuclear ‘exotica’, e.g., the unexpected, beta-decaying high-spin states, new symmetries (e.g., 32), neutron ‘skins’, new shell closures, shape changes etc.

Aim? To perform high-spin physics in stable and neutron rich nuclei. Problem: Fusion makes proton-rich nuclei.Solutions? (a)fragmentation (b) binary collisions/multi-nucleon transfer

Can see clearly to spins of 20ħ using thin-target technique.

Can we use the data from the CHICO+Gammasphere expt. to understand the ‘DIC’ reaction mechanism ? A wide range of spins & nuclei are observed.

E-GOS plot appears to indicate that Vibrator-Rotator phase change is a feature of near stable (green) A~100 nuclei.

BUT….what is the microscopic basis ?

‘Rotational alignment’ can be a crossing between quasi-vibrational GSB & deformed rotational sequence.(stiffening of potential by population of high-j, equatorial (h11/2) orbitals).

Carl Wheldon (HMI-Berlin) has suggested extension of E-GOS by ‘renormalising’ the rotational energies at the bandhead.

If the band-head spin of a sequence is given by j then substituting Ij in place of I, one obtains,

Seniority 4 states though can have up to7/2 + 5/2 + 5/2 +3/2 = 10 ħ

Expect neutron ‘seniority scheme’for (h11/2)-2 ‘j2’ mutlipletconfiguration at N=80 (e.g. 130Sn).

132Te, 134Xe have proton excitationsdue to g7/2, d5/2 at 0+,2+,4+,6+ but not competing 8ħ and 10ħ states.

Extra collectivity for higher-Z pushes down 0+ and 2+.
