A simple, semi-empirical, one-parameter calculation model based on the quantum mechanical tunneling mechanism through a potential barrier has been used to estimate the partial [Formula: see text]-decay half-life, [Formula: see text], of [Formula: see text] isomer. Alpha-transitions to levels of the ground-state band [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] have been considered, and the contributions to [Formula: see text] due to overlapping, Coulomb, and centrifugal barriers have been detailed in each case. Results have indicated a [Formula: see text]-value of [Formula: see text] and a predominance [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text]-particles populating the level [Formula: see text], compatible with results by other authors. Besides, a single, universal-like formula to estimate half-life of alpha transitions, whatever [Formula: see text]-value and the characteristics of the parent nucleus (e-e, e-o, o-e and o-o nuclei, whether in the ground or isomeric states), has been envisaged.

A 985 MeV 178 Hf beam was Coulomb excited by a 208 Pb target at the ATLAS accelerator of Argonne National Laboratory. Gammasphere and the CHICO particle detector recorded particle-γ coincidence data. The aim was to populate and determine the mechanism of previously observed Coulomb excitation of the Kπ = 6+ (t1/2 = 77 ns ), 8- (4 s ) and 16+ (31 y ) isomer bands. New rotational bands were identified including an aligned band which appears to mix with the ground-state band (GSB) and the γ-vibrational band above ~ 12 ħ of angular momentum. Newly observed γ-decay transitions into the three isomer bands may elucidate the K-mixing which allows Coulomb excitation of these isomer bands, but direct decays from the GSB into the 16+ isomer band have not yet been confirmed.

Davidson potentials of the form β^2 + β0^4/β^2, when used in the original Bohr Hamiltonian for γ-independent potentials bridge the U(5) and 0(6) symmetries. Using a variational procedure, we determine for each value of angular momentum L the value of β0 at which the derivative of the energy ratio RL = E(L)/E(2) with respect to β0 has a sharp maximum, the collection of RL values at these points forming a band which practically coincides with the ground state band of the E(5) model, corresponding to the critical point in the shape phase transition from U(5) to Ο(6). The same potentials, when used in the Bohr Hamiltonian after separating variables as in the X(5) model, bridge the U(5) and SU(3) symmetries, the same variational procedure leading to a band which practically coincides with the ground state band of the X(5) model, corresponding to the critical point of the U(5) to SU(3) shape phase transition. A new derivation of the Holmberg-Lipas formula for nuclear energy spectra is obtained as a by-product.

The conversion electron spectrum of the reaction 155Gd (n, e) 156Gd has been measured up to 8.5 MeV. The results below 4.5 MeV are presented and multipolarities are determined with these results. E0 admixtures of the Δ I = 0 transitions from the 0 + β-vibrational band to the ground state band were determined with 15% accuracy. 156Gd level schemes are discussed and extended by new spin and parity assignments.

The half-life of a parent nucleus of Astatine isotopes [Formula: see text] decaying via alpha emission is investigated by employing Coulomb and proximity potential model (CPPM) using the WKB barrier penetration probability and other different analytical and semiempirical formulae of Royer, AKRE, Akrawy, RoyerB, MRoyerB, MRenB, SemFIS, VS and SLB. In the calculation of Alpha decay (AD) half-life the available experimental and theoretical [Formula: see text]-values with the total alpha kinetic energy have been considered. The behavior of hindrance factor with the variation of mass numbers of parent nuclei for isotopes in the range [Formula: see text] and the effect of magic number at closed shells were investigated. Through the comparison of obtained results from the systematics with the experimental data, the prediction of SemFIS formula was the best among the studied ones where it shows the minimum standard deviation of 0.829881.
