Abstract

Excitation functions for the reactions $^{197} Au (^{3} He, x n)^{200−x} Tl (x = 3, … 7)$ and $^{181} Ta (^{3} He, x n)^{184−x} Re (x = 3, … 7)$ were measured at bombarding energies up to 75 MeV. The data are compared to the results of an equilibrium statistical model calculation including angular momentum conservation and γ-ray competition. Satisfactory agreement was found except for the high energy tails.

Compilation of isomeric ratios of light particle induced nuclear reactions
2023, Atomic Data and Nuclear Data Tables
Experimental isomeric ratios of light (A $\leq$ 4) particle-induced nuclear reactions were compiled for the product nuclides having metastable states with half-lives longer than 0.1 s. The experimental isomeric ratio data were taken from the EXFOR library and reviewed. When an experiment reports isomer production cross sections instead of isomeric ratios, the cross sections taken from the EXFOR library were converted to the isomeric ratios by us. During compilation, questionable data (e.g., preliminary data compiled in EXFOR in parallel with their final data, sum of isomer production cross sections larger than the total production cross sections) were excluded. As an application of the new compilation, goodness-of-fit was studied for the isomeric ratios predicted by the reaction model code TALYS-1.96. A text file and plots of the compiled isomer production cross sections and isomeric ratios are provided as supplemental materials.
MARGE — a new ModulAr Robotic Gas-jet targEt system for chemistry studies with homologues of superheavy elements
2023, Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment
A new ModulAr Robotic Gas-jet targEt (MARGE) system for chemistry studies with homologues of SuperHeavy Elements (SHEs) was designed, constructed, and successfully tested on a beam line at the U-120M accelerator in NPI in Řež, near Prague. The installation of the MARGE system represents an important milestone in research in the field of homologues of SHEs in the Czech Republic. The MARGE system utilizes a robotic target switching mechanism that is remotely controlled from the laboratory. A significant advantage of this functionality is that targets can be switched without personnel having to enter the cyclotron vault, which greatly reduces the radiation exposure of the personnel, as well as prevents long delays due to the necessary cool-down time. The MARGE system is completely modular, allowing for easy upgrades or maintenance. One of the modules houses a new four-pole beam position monitor, which allows for more precise ion beam focusing and on-line diagnostics, when compared with the previous circular one-pole design. The heart of the MARGE system, the Recoil-Transfer Chamber (RTC) module, is designed as a standalone building block with the possibility of stacking multiple RTC modules. In this way, the residual beam exiting the first module can be used to produce radionuclides in a second RTC module, thus enabling the simultaneous collection and transport of atoms recoiling from more than one target foil. The system was tested during two experimental campaigns in spring and autumn of 2021. This included an optimization of the transport yield of prepared radionuclides, and a measurement of the cross sections of the following reactions: ¹⁹⁷Au (³He, 6n) $^{194m}$ Tl, ¹⁶⁵Ho (³He, 5n) ¹⁶³Tm, $^{nat}$ Pd (³He, xn) ¹⁰⁴Cd, and $^{nat}$ Pd (³He, yn) ¹⁰⁵Cd. The transport yield reached during the pilot test was 38 ± 2%. The performance of the system, comprising two stacked RTC modules, was verified during the third campaign in autumn of 2022.
Could the GSI decay rate oscillations be observed in a standard electron capture decay experiment?
2009, Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics
The electron-capture decay of ¹⁸⁰Re has been investigated to search for oscillations in the decay probability as reported from a recent measurement at GSI, Darmstadt. The production period was kept short compared to the reported oscillation period. No such oscillation was observed, indicating that the reported oscillations would not have been observable in a conventional experiment with radioactive atoms in a solid environment but must have to do with the unique conditions in the GSI experiment where hydrogen-like ions are moving independently in a storage ring and decaying directly by a true two-body decay to a long-lived (ground-)state. Our finding could restrict possible theoretical interpretations of the oscillations.
Description of γ-multiplicities after fusion reactions in deformed nuclei
1978, Nuclear Physics, Section A
The Monte Carlo method is used for the description of particle (n,p,α) evaporation and γ-ray emission after fusion reactions. The theoretical description focusses on the competition between collective and statistical γ-rays. It is shown that the correct side feeding pattern in final rare earth nuclei can be quantitatively understood if strong collective E2 transitions are taken into account also in bands high above the yrast line. The γ-cascades run through an irregular mixture of statistical and collective transitions before hitting the yrast line. Side feeding patterns, γ-multiplicities and their fluctuations are described in good agreement with the data of the ¹⁵⁰Nd(¹⁶O, 4n)¹⁶²Er and ¹⁴⁸Nd(¹⁸O, 4n)¹⁶²Er reactions at different bombarding energies using the computer program “Icarus” established according to these ideas.
Analysis of (particle, xn) reactions on tantalum and gold. (III). Excitation functions of d-induced reactions on <sup>181</sup>Ta from 10 to 80 MeV and equilibrium statistical analysis
1974, Nuclear Physics, Section A
Excitation functions of the reactions (d, xn), x = 5–8, (d, p), (d, 2p), (d, p4n), (d, α4n) and (d, α6n) on ¹⁸¹Ta were observed by analyzing the residual γ-ray activity of stacked foils bombarded with 80 MeV deuterons. For comparison an equilibrium statistical model calculation was carried out with an improved ROULETTE program. The unusually good statistics of the Monte Carlo calculation clearly reveals typical discrepancies between theory and experiment, which are due to non-equilibrium processes.
