RIBF80 experiment, “Structural changes between N=40 and N=50 next to Ni isotopes: a joint proposal” was performed in spring 2013 using a 238U beam at 345 MeV/u. Average beam intensity was about 10 pnA and the experiment was carried out for ~3 days.
BigRIPS was tuned to transmit 71Fe in the central trajectory and nuclei ranging from Mn to Cu were successfully implanted in the WAS3ABi array,...

A β-decay spectroscopy experiment in the closest vicinity of 78Ni was performed at RIBF as a part of the EURICA campaign. The low-lying level structure in odd-mass isotonic chain along the neutron magic number of N=50 is determined by the neutron single-particle evolution with decreasing proton number. Some reduction of the neutron single-particle energy gap between 2d5/2 and 3s1/2 orbitals...

Abstract (text):
In May 2013 the EURICA array was augmented with 18 LaBr3(Ce) detectors so that short level-lifetimes could be measured. The performance of the LaBr3(Ce) array will be outlined and results of measurements on the first 2+ states in 104,106Zr [1] will be presented and discussed in terms of the deformations extracted for the nuclei. Additional results on new isomers observed...

The experimental results are exhibited based on the beta-decay schemes for the Sb, Te, and I nuclides beyond N = 82. We provide for the first time the internal level structures of 140Te, 140I, and 142I, as showing the beta-decay lifetime measurements of the corresponding decay processes. The observed level structures and decay schemes will be discussed briefly systematically with the help of...

Level schemes of the neutron-rich nuclei 136,137,138Sb have been constructed from beta- and beta-n decay data gathered during the EURICA campaign.
Decay schemes were constructed from ion-beta-gamma coincidence events and these are the first reports of excited states in 137,138Sb and the first level
scheme of 136Sb derived from beta-decay data. With only one proton beyond the Z=50 shell...

Experimental results on the excited states of neutron-rich Z=56 to 61 nuclei will be exhibited. Large prolate deformation is expected in this region and many K isomers were observed. Shape evolution including higher-order deformations such as octupole or hexadecupole shapes will be discussed from the systematics of the excitation energies of isomer or g.s.-band states.

Isospin symmetry is based on the almost identical `behavior' of
proton and neutron in terms of the strong interaction.
However, due to isospin breaking interactions, including
electro-magnetic interaction, slight asymmetry is associated with
the nuclear structure of mirror nuclei.
We have been studying Tz=\pm 1-->0, Tz=\pm 3/2-->\pm 1/2, and
Tz=\pm 2-->\pm 1 mirror Gamow-Teller (GT)...

Gamow-Teller (GT) transitions play important roles in the studies of nuclear structure and nucleosynthesis. In the A = 58 isobars, the GT transition strengths to the states in 58Cu have been measured by high-resolution 58Ni(3He,t)58Cu reactions of ΔE ~ 30 keV. In order to discuss isospin symmetry in the A = 58 isobars, we studied the β decay of 58Zn. In addition, the β decay of 58Zn has the...

With a beta-decay half-life of 17s, 72Kr is a main waiting point for the rp-process in accreting neutron stars. The effective half-life in stellar environment could be, however, significantly reduced by the 72Kr(2p,g)74Sr reaction. To accurately model the rp-process flow in this reaction channel, the proton separation energy of the proton unbound nucleus 73Rb is required. In the experiment,...

There are a significant number of isomeric states in the region close to the N=Z line and immediately below 100Sn, some of which may decay via particle emission. The study of these states yields vital experimental data on neutron-proton (np) pairing, provides a sensitive test for nuclear models, and input for understanding the astrophysical rp-process.
This presentation will report on...

100Sn is the heaviest doubly magic N=Z nucleus. Calculations in the extreme single particle
model predict a pure Gamow-Teller transition [1] and more recent realistic large scale shell model
(LSSM) calculations also show that this transition is fragmented by less than 5% [2]. Thus, the
transition 100Sn ! 100In is the ideal playground in order to derive the full transition strength...

The doubly-magic 100Sn stands as a testing ground for many topics of nuclear structure, such as N = Z = 50 shell strength in proximity to the proton dripline, and evolution in the single particle structure and shell evolution. For decades, these have been actively investigated in both theoretical and experimental efforts. In order for modern large-scale shell model calculations with...

Shape evolution is one of the most important subjects to understand competition between single-particle and collective motions in nuclei as a function of neutron and proton numbers. Study of shape evolution in very neutron-rich nuclei became possible by the EURICA project. The nuclei around neutron-rich doubly-magic nucleus $^{132}$Sn indicate characteristics with spherical shape, whereas the...

In the EURICA experiment, beta-ray events and ion events are separately recorded and it requires an algorithm for associating the beta events and the ion events. We have developed more elaborate methods to increase the correlated events by using beta-ray tracking and ion position correction. Based on the new algorithm, the level-schemes of neutron-rich Mo isotopes are under investigation....

There are a number of isomeric states in the mass range around A = 180.
The most interesting one in this region would be the long-lived
high-spin 178m2Hf isomer.
If a target which contains nanogram quantities of 178m2Hf is fabricated, the door to explore high-spin nuclear reactions will be opened. To this end, we performed a feasibility study to produce the isomeric state using the fusion...
