Lifetimes of excited states of 124Ba were measured by the Recoil Distance Doppler Shift (RDDS) technique. The γ-ray coincidence data were analysed by the Differential Decay Curve method (DDCM). The trend of the experimentally deduced normalized B(E2) values reveals a drop at the 8+1 state, which may be caused by structural changes in the backbending region.

Lifetime measurements in 128Xe have been undertaken at the JYFL accelerator facility using the novel Coulex-plunger in inverse kinematics technique [1], [2]. Excited states in 128Xe were populated by the natFe(128Xe, 128Xe*) reaction at E(128Xe)=525 MeV and the subsequent de-excitations were detected in the JUROGAM γ-ray array. Two independent analyses of the data were performed. Firstly the Differential Decay Curve Method (DDCM) [3] was applied to determine lifetimes of the excited states. Secondly, matrix elements and their corresponding B(E2) values, were extracted using the computer code GOSIA [4]. The results are presented and compared with the adopted values. Also, B(E2) values obtained from this work are compared to the values predicted by the E(5) critical-point symmetry, since 128Xe has been proposed as a candidate for E(5) symmetry [5].

AbstractLifetime measurements in $$^{178}$$ 178 Pt with excited states de-exciting through $$\gamma $$ γ -ray transitions and internal electron conversions have been performed. Ionic charges were selected by the in-flight mass separator MARA and measured at the focal plane in coincidence with the $$4_1^+\rightarrow 2_1^+$$ 4 1 + → 2 1 + $$257\,$$ 257 keV $$\gamma $$ γ -ray transition detected using the JUROGAM 3 spectrometer. The resulting charge-state distributions were analysed using the differential decay curve method (DDCM) framework to obtain a lifetime value of 430(20) ps for the $$2_1^+$$ 2 1 + state. This work builds on a method that combines the charge plunger technique with the DDCM analysis. As an alternative analysis, ions were selected in coincidence with the $$^{178}$$ 178 Pt alpha decay ($$E_{\mathrm {alpha}} = 5.458(5)$$ E alpha = 5.458 ( 5 ) MeV) at the focal plane. Lifetime information was obtained by fitting a two-state Bateman equation to the decay curve with the lifetime of individual states defined by a single quadrupole moment. This yielded a lifetime value of 430(50) ps for the $$2_1^+$$ 2 1 + state, and 54(6) ps for the $$4_1^+$$ 4 1 + state. An analysis method based around the Bateman equation will become especially important when using the charge plunger method for the cases where utilising coincidences between prompt $$\gamma $$ γ rays and recoils is not feasible.

As a continuation of the previous measurement in 128Xe [1], [2], [3], another E(5) candidate, 130Xe, has been studied through the novel experimental technique Coulex-plunger in inverse kinematics. The measurements have been undertaken at the JYFL accelerator facility in Jyvaskyl ̈a, Finland. For the purpose of this experiment the Cologne plunger was coupled to the JYFL cyclotron which delivered the 130Xe beam. Excited states in 130Xe were populated by the natFe(130Xe, 130Xe*) reaction at E(130Xe)=500 MeV and the subsequent de-excitations were detected in the JUROGAM γ-ray array. By applying the well known Differential Decay Curve Method (DDCM) [4], lifetimes of the 2^+_1 and 4^+_1 excited states were determined. In addition, since the investigated nucleus is excited through the Coulomb interaction, it is possible to perform a full Coulomb excitation analysis of the data using the computer code GOSIA [5] which will allow the determination of B(E2) values of the transitions up to the 6^+_1 excited state.

First Time

To study the nuclear structure of neutron-rich titanium isotopes, a lifetime measurement was performed at the Grand Accélérateur National d'Ions Lourds (GANIL) facility in Caen, France. The nucleiwere produced in a multinucleon-transfer reaction by using a 6.76 MeV/u 238U beam. The Advanced Gamma Tracking Array (AGATA) was employed for the γ-ray detection and target-like recoils were identified event-by-event by the large-acceptance variable mode spectrometer (VAMOS++). Preliminary level lifetimes of the (5/2−) to 13/2− states of the yrast band in the neutron-rich nucleus 53Ti were measured for the first time employing the recoil distance Doppler-shift (RDDS) method and the compact plunger for deep inelastic reactions. The differential decay curve method (DDCM) was used to obtain the lifetimes from the RDDS data.
