Nuclear Physics Tuesday<br />
A complete spectrometer also requires ancillary detectors and although<br />
the simplest method is to use the same digital electronics for the ancillary<br />
detectors, this may be an expensive option if traditional electronics<br />
is already available. To circumvent this problem, we have conceived a<br />
method to use a single DGF card together with traditional analogue electronics,<br />
where the DGF card provides a timestamp for the analogue data<br />
which is read out in the conventional way.<br />

Lifetime measurements in the mirror nuclei 47Cr and 47V are performed<br />
by means of the Doppler-shift attenuation method using the multidetector<br />
array EUROBALL. The determined transition strengths in the<br />
yrast cascades are well described by full pf-Shell model calculations and<br />
the behaviour of the transition quadrupole moments with increasing spin<br />
confirms the nuclear structure and shape changes inferred in earlier works<br />
investigating Coulomb energy differences (CED).<br />

In view of the prospects of studying neutron-rich nuclei far from stability<br />
using RIBs it is important to get structural information on those<br />
nuclei already accessible today by means of spectroscopy following fission.<br />
The systematic knowledge of transition matrix elements in these nuclei is<br />
key to observe modifications off the shell structure of nuclei far from stability.<br />
In this contribution we report on a recoil distance Doppler shift<br />
experiment using Gammasphere and the New Yale Plunger Device to<br />
measure lifetimes of excited states in neutron rich nuclei produced in the<br />
fission of 252 Cf. Fission fragments emitted in a cone of ± 20 ◦ from a thin<br />
50 µCi 252 Cf source were detected by a set of photo cells. Complementary<br />
fragments were stopped in a gold stopper after traveling a variable distance.<br />
Gamma rays in coincidence with fission fragments were detected<br />
by the Gammasphere array. First results for A≈ 100 and 140 nuclei will<br />
be presented. Supported by the U.S. DOE (DE-FG02-91ER-40609) and NSF, and<br />

New g factor measurement of the 44 Ca(2 + 1 ) state + — •S.<br />

In view of the precise g(2 + 1 ) values obtained for Ti and Cr isotopes [1]<br />
suggesting considerable excitations of protons and neutrons of the 40 Ca<br />
core to fp shell orbits the first 2 + states of Ca isotopes should show a<br />
similar behaviour. However, from an early measurement on 44 Ca [2] the<br />
g(2 + 1 ) value was found to be negative indicating a dominant f7/2 neutron<br />
component in the wave function. We have remeasured this g factor<br />
by employing projectile Coulomb excitation in inverse kinematics combined<br />
with the transient field technique. A 44 Ca beam provided by the<br />
Cologne tandem accelerator was Coulomb excited by scattering from a<br />
carbon target. The g factor was derived from spin precessions in ferromagnetic<br />
Gd. Contrary to [2] the newly determined g factor is definitely<br />
positive indicating collective admixtures due to core excitation.<br />

The compound nucleus 128Ba was produced in the symmetric reaction<br />
64Ni + 64Ni at a bombarding energy of 265 MeV at the 88-Inch<br />
cyclotron in Berkeley. This reaction was chosen in order to populate<br />
high-spin states with large deformation at relatively low excitation energy.<br />
Gamma-ray coincidences were measured with the Gammasphere<br />
spectrometer. The strongest exit channels and their relative intensities<br />
were: 122Xe (100), 124Ba (98), 125Ba (62), 125Cs (24) and 123Ba (7). A<br />
search was peformed for regular sequences of discrete transitions using<br />
different approaches, but up to date no hyperdeformed bands (axis ratio<br />
≈ 3:1) could be established. Two different search routines are presented<br />
and the limits for the detection of regular sequences are discussed. The<br />
data were also used to extend and correct the previously known level<br />
scheme of 125Cs [1,2].<br />

Triaxial superdeformation (TSD) has recently been established in Lu<br />
and Hf isotopes in the mass 165 region. The aim of this work is to<br />
search for the predicted TSD in 161 Lu and 162 Lu. High-spin states in<br />
these nuclei have been populated in the r eaction 100 Mo( 65 Cu,xn) at 260<br />
MeV beam energy at the Legnaro Tandem accelerator. Gamma-ray coincidences<br />
have been measured with the GASP array. The data permit<br />
an extension of all the known normal-deformed (ND) bands in 161,162 Lu.<br />
The searc h for TSD is in progress.<br />

We present results of the first photon-scattering experiment on the<br />
nuclide 98Mo. This experiment was carried out at the bremsstrahlung<br />
facility of the Stuttgart Dynamitron accelerator at an electron energy of<br />
3.8 MeV. Photons scattered from a 98Mo target with a mass of 1998 mg,<br />
enriched to 98.55%, were measured with three HPGe detectors placed<br />
at 90◦ , 127◦ and 150◦ , respectively, to the incident photon beam. We<br />
identified five states with J = 1 in the energy range from 2.8 to 3.6 MeV.<br />
A state at about 2.8 MeV is a candidate for the [2 + ⊗ 3− ] 1− two-phonon<br />
excitation while states with 3.2 to 3.6 MeV may be considered as J π =1 +<br />
states. An analogous experiment was carried out for the nuclide 100Mo and is also being analysed.<br />
