New Isomers in the Neutron-Rich Region Beyond 208Pb
نویسندگان
چکیده
The region of neutron-rich nuclei beyond 208Pb has been very difficult to explore due to its high mass and exoticity. However, recent experimental improvements allowed one to perform a quite extended isomer decay spectroscopy of these nuclei.

Isomers in neutron - rich lead isotopes populated via the fragmentation of 238 U at 1 GeV A
Neutron-rich nuclei beyond N = 126 in the lead region were populated by fragmenting a U beam at 1 GeV A on a Be target and then separated by the Fragment Separator (FRS) at GSI. Their isomeric decays were observed, enabling study of the shell structure of neutron-rich nuclei around the Z=82 shell closure. Some preliminary results are reported in this paper.
متن کاملNeutron star structure and the neutron radius of 208Pb.
We study relationships between the neutron-rich skin of a heavy nucleus and the properties of neutron-star crusts. Relativistic effective field theories with a thicker neutron skin in 208Pb have a larger electron fraction and a lower liquid-to-solid transition density for neutron-rich matter. These properties are determined by the density dependence of the symmetry energy which we vary by addin...
متن کاملNew μs isomers in the neutron-rich 210Hg nucleus
Neutron-rich nuclei in the lead region, beyond N = 126, have been studied at the FRS-RISING setup at GSI, exploiting the fragmentation of a primary uranium beam. Two isomeric states have been identified in 210Hg: the 8 isomer expected from the seniority scheme in the νg9/2 shell and a second one at low spin and low excitation energy. The decay strength of the 8 isomer confirms the need of effec...
متن کاملYrast three - quasiparticle K isomers in neutron - rich 181 Hf
Long-lived isomeric states in nuclei are unique laboratories for studying the detailed properties of nuclear wave functions. From an experimental standpoint, transitions deexciting long-lived isomers provide clean information on wave-function admixtures, since a better signal-to-noise ratio is achieved if short-lived excitations are allowed to decay away. From a theoretical perspective, a long-...
متن کاملNew way for the production of heavy neutron-rich nuclei
A new way is found to discover and examine unknown neutron-rich heavy nuclei at the ‘north-east’ part of the nuclear map. This ‘blank spot’ of the nuclear map can be reached neither in fusion–fission reactions nor in fragmentation processes widely used nowadays for the production of new nuclei. The present limits of the upper part of the nuclear map are very close to stability while the unexplo...
