Excitation and \( \gamma\)-decay coincidence measurements at the GRAF beamline for studies of pygmy and giant dipole resonances
Physical studies of electric dipole excitations in atomic nuclei e.g. the structure of pygmy dipole resonances and isovector giant dipole resonances are attracting much attention recently. In this article, we des...

Open AccessElectromagnetic properties of low-lying states in neutron-deficient Hg isotopes: Coulomb excitation of 182Hg, 184Hg, 186Hg and 188Hg
The neutron-deficient mercury isotopes serve as a classical example of shape coexistence, whereby at low energy near-degenerate nuclear states characterized by different shapes appear. The electromagnetic stru...

Open AccessIdentification of \(\gamma\)-decaying resonant states in 26Mg and their importance for the astrophysical s process
The 22Ne(\( \alpha\)α, n) reaction is expected to provide the dominant neutron source for the weak s process in massive stars and intermediate-mass (IM) Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars. However, the production ...

Transition to non-collective states at high spin in 124Xe
Excited states in 124Xe were populated in the reaction 82Se(48Ca, 6n)124Xe and γ -ray coincidence relationships were measured with the Gammasphere spectrometer. Two new bands are observed and several of the previ...

Beta-delayed γ-ray studies of πf7/2 - νpf shell nuclei
We have utilized the selective process of β decay to populate low-energy excited states in the neutron-rich 22Ti, 23V, 24Cr, and 25Mn nuclei. The goal was to systematically track the monopole shift of the νf5/...
