181Ir activity was produced via the following heavy-ion reactions: 169Tm (16O,4n)181Ir and 169Tm(19F,7n)181Pt (51 s) decaying to 181Ir. The half-life of 181Ir was found to be 4.90 ± 0.15 min. Singles and coincidence γ-ray measurements were performed using 30–40 cm3 Ge(Li) detectors. X-Ray measurements were carried out using an intrinsic Ge-detector. Additionally the helium jet system was used to study the properties of this isotope. The following γ rays were found to belong to the decay of 181Ir: 19.6, 65.3, 93.8, 107.6, 117.9, 123.5, 184.6, 189.9, 227.0, 231.6, 239.2, 309.0, 318.9, 350.5, 352.8, 375.2, 576.5, 700.1, 871.2, 1182.3, 1192.6, 1347.1, 1381.0, 1528.8, 1545.0, 1565.6, 1593.4, 1639.6, 1646.4, 1652.5, and 1714.9 keV. A tentative decay scheme is proposed for 181Ir, verifying levels in l8lOs that have been obtained by reaction work. The proposed decay scheme as well as spin and parity assignments of some of the 181Os levels are discussed.

AbstractObservations at high-energies are important to define the first stages of the evolution of extragalactic radio sources and to characterize the interstellar medium of their host galaxies. In some of the X-ray-observed Compact Symmetric Objects (CSOs, among the youngest and most compact radio galaxies), we measured values of the total hydrogen column densities large enough to slow or prevent the radio source growth. The γ-ray window has the potential to constrain the non-thermal contribution of jets and lobes to the total high-energy emission. However, so far, young radio sources remain elusive in γ-rays, with only a handful of detections (or candidates) reported by Fermi. I present our γ-ray study of the CSO PKS 1718–649, and draw comparison with the restarted, γ-ray detected, radio galaxy 3C 84.

A total of 22 resonances has been observed in the 44Ca(p,γ)45Sc reaction within the incident proton energy range of 600 to 930 keV. Gamma-ray singles spectra and γ-ray angular distribution data were accumulated for resonances at Ep = 856 and 906 keV. Both of these resonant states have been found to have spin 3/2. The measured angular distributions of primary γ rays from the resonant states have given spin information on the intermediate bound states of 45Sc with excitation energies above 2 MeV. A γ-ray decay scheme has been derived from the γ-ray spectra. The data indicate new levels at 2151.0, 3525.2, 3548.5, 3584.0, and 3714.3 keV.

The problem of the existence of a change of slope in the γ-ray spectrum in the atmosphere is of considerable interest in connection with conclusions about the change in the character of the nucleon interaction. Up to now this problem has not been solved experimentally. In this report the γ-ray spectrum in the 1011–1013 eV energy range has been obtained using data from X-ray films and nuclear emulsions exposed on board an airplane at a pressure of 200 g/cm2. The total exposure was 425 hours∙m2. The energies of the electron–photon cascades initiated by γ rays were determined in the X-ray films by measuring the photometric densities of the black spots, and in nuclear emulsions by counting the electron tracks near the cascade axis. The integral spectrum has a power-law form with an exponent of 1.7–1.9. A change in slope in the spectrum was not found. Thus, a mechanism generating pions with energies proportional to the initial nucleon energies exists up to nucleon energies of ~1014 eV. The analysis of the accompaniment of γ rays by "families" shows that in one-third of the cases the energy of the most energetic π0 meson is at least five times that of the next π0 meson. In the remaining two-thirds of the cases the π0 mesons have comparable energies.

The detection of TeV gamma-rays from LS 5039 and the binary pulsar PSR B1259–63 by HESS, and from LS I +61 303 and the stellar-mass black hole Cygnus X-1 by MAGIC, provides clear evidence of very efficient acceleration of particles to multi-TeV energies in X-ray binaries. These observations demonstrate the richness of nonthermal phenomena in compact galactic objects containing relativistic outflows or winds produced near black holes and neutron stars. I review here some of the main observational results on very high energy (VHE) γ-ray emission from X-ray binaries, as well as some of the proposed scenarios to explain the production of VHE γ-rays. I put special emphasis on the flare TeV emission, suggesting that the flaring activity might be a common phenomena in X-ray binaries.

A high-resolution study of the γ-ray spectrum induced by the inelastic scattering of reactor produced neutrons has been conducted. The γ rays observed have been assigned in a decay scheme involving 134 levels extending in excitation energy to 6 MeV. The results are discussed within the context of previously identified weak coupling configurations, and possible discrepancies are indicated. Levels in the high-energy region are also compared with recently reported photoexcitation studies.
