Small quadrupole deformation for the dipole bands in 112 In

High spin states in 112 In were investigated using the 100 Mo( 16 O ,p 3n) reaction at 80 MeV. The excited level has been observed up to 5.6 MeV excitation energy and spin ∼20¯ h with the level scheme showing three dipole bands. Polarization and lifetime measurements were carried out for the dipole bands. Tilted axis cranking model calculations were performed for different quasiparticle configurations of this doubly odd nucleus. Comparison of the calculations of the model with the B(M1) transition strengths of the positive- and negative-parity bands firmly established their configurations.

Conservation of Isospin in Neutron-Rich Fission Fragments

Abstract On the occasion of the 75 t h anniversary of the fission phenomenon, we present a surprisingly simple result which highlights the important role of isospin and its conservation in neutron rich fission fragments. We have analysed the fission fragment mass distribution from two recent heavyion reactions 238U(18O,f) and 208Pb(18O,f) as well as a thermal neutron fission reaction 245Cm( n t h ,f). We find that the conservation of the total isospin explains the overall trend in the observed relative yields of fragment masses in each fission pair partition. The isospin values involved are very large making the effect dramatic. The findings open the way for more precise calculations of fission fragment distributions in heavy nuclei and may have far reaching consequences for the drip line nuclei, HI fusion reactions, and calculation of decay heat in the fission phenomenon.

Structure of Dipole Bands in 112In: Through Lifetime Measurement

High-spin states of the 112In nucleus have been populated via 100Mo(16O, p3n) reaction at 80 MeV beam energy. Lifetimes of excited states of dipole bands have been measured using Doppler-shift attenuation method. The B(M1) transition rates deduced from the measured lifetimes show a rapid decrease with increasing angular momentum. The decrease in B(M1) values are well accounted by the prediction of tilted axis cranking calculations. These measurements confirm the presence of shears mechanism in this nuclei.

Shape evolution at high spin states in Kr and Br isotopes

The high spin states in A = 75, Kr and Br isotopes have been populated via fusion-evaporation reaction at an incident beam energy of 90 MeV. The de-exciting γ-rays were detected utilizing the Indian National Gamma Array (INGA). Lifetime of these excited high spin states were determined by Doppler-shift attenuation method. Experimental results obtained from lifetime measurement are interpreted in the frame work of projected shell-model to get better insight into the evolution of collectivity. Comparison of the calculations of the model with transitional quadrupole moments Qt of the positive and negative parity bands firmly established their configurations.
