Production and identification of heavy Ni isotopes: evidence for the doubly magic nucleus 7828 Ni

Abstract

We report the first observation of the doubly magic nucleus78Ni50 and the heavy isotopes77Ni,73,74,75Co,80Cu. The isotopes were produced by nuclear fission in collisions of 750 A·MeV projectiles of238U on Be target nuclei. The fully-stripped fission products were separated in-flight by the fragment separator FRS and identified event-by-event by measuring the magnetic rigidity, the trajectory, the energy deposit, and the time of flight. Production cross-sections and fission yields for the new Ni-isotopes are given.
