Abstract

The (³He, t) charge-exchange reaction has been studied at θ = 0° and bombarding energies of $E(^{3} He) = 76.5 MeV and 200 MeV$ . Spectra were measured using magnetic analysis for target nuclei of ^{12, 13}C, ¹⁶O, ¹⁹F, ^{28, 29, 30}Si, ⁹⁰Zr, ^{117, 120}Sn, ^natTa, ^natW, ¹⁹⁷Au, ²⁰⁸Pb, ^{230, 232}Th, ^{234, 236, 238}U and ²⁴⁴Pu. The measurements at 76.5 MeV concentrated on the isobaric analog states of several actinide nuclei, particularly on their widths and the branching ratios for proton decay. Cross sections, Q-values and total widths were determined for the transitions to the isobaric analog states. Coulomb displacement energies derived from the measured Q-values display the influence of deformed nuclear shapes. Escape widths Γ^↑ and spreading widths Γ^↓ of the isobaric analog states in five actinide nuclei were deduced from the measured proton-decay branching ratios. They were found to be in agreement with predictions which postulate isospin mixing via the Coulomb force with the (T₀−1)-component of the isovector giant monopole resonance. The measurements at 200 MeV were concerned with transitions to isobaric analog states in both light and heavy nuclei, including several actinide nuclei, but Gamow-Teller resonances and transitions to numerous other states were also observed. The measured cross sections for several transitions to isobaric analog states from ³⁰Si to ²⁰⁸Pb were used to extract the effective interaction V_τ for non-spin-flip (³He, t) charge exchange at $E(^{3} He) ≈ 200 MeV$ . The interaction strength V_τ decreases by a factor 0.6 when compared to previously measured values for the energy range $E(^{3} He) = 65 to 90 MeV$ . An angular distribution from θ_τ = 0° to 16° for the transition to the isobaric analog state in ¹²⁰Sb measured at $E(^{3} He) = 200 MeV$ was found to be in very good agreement with microscopic calculations.

This feature is also observed in unseparated data at larger momentum transfers: it appears to grow with momentum transfer [1988WE1E].

Nuclear Data Sheets for A=244
2017, Nuclear Data Sheets
Available information pertaining to the nuclear structure of ground and excited states for all known nuclei with mass numbers A=244 have been compiled and evaluated. The adopted level and decay schemes, as well as the detailed nuclear properties and configuration assignments based on experimental data are presented for these nuclides. When there are insufficient data, expected values from systematics of nuclear properties and/or theoretical calculations are quoted. Unexpected or discrepant experimental results are also noted. Information provided in ²⁴⁴U is tentative as it is from the possible production in the study of 1960Di03 of debris of the first large-scale thermonuclear test (Ivy Mike) of November 1, 1952 in the Pacific Ocean. No new experimental data are available for ²⁴⁴Np with the information for g.s Jπ considered tentative. Experimental work is needed for ²⁴⁴Np as theoretical work and systematics along with the Gallagher-Moszkowski rules that suggest either Jπ=2⁺ or $7^{-}$ . Jπ = ( $7^{-}$ ) g.s has been considered by the evaluator due to population of high spin states in the beta decay study. In ²⁴⁴Pu, a new K isomer was identified and in addition rotational bands built on the isomer have been observed via the deep inelastic excitation. However, there has been no new measurements since the last evaluation to determine the ratio of the energy levels of the first 4⁺ state to the first 2⁺ state (E4+/E2⁺) in ²⁴⁴Pu that showed a discrepancy from a typical value of 3.333. In the current evaluation, the evaluator has considered the 110γ measured in the ²⁴⁴Np β-decay questionable. Further research into the determination of the gammas depopulating these levels is necessary. In ²⁴⁴Am, specifically the (d,p) transfer reaction and in the (n, γ) secondary γ's, there are a large number of gammas that are unplaced. Since its last measurement in 1966, the electron capture dataset has been updated with a tentative partial level scheme for ²⁴⁴Cm which also provided a new half-life measurement for ²⁴⁴Bk. In ²⁴⁴Fm, a fusion evaporation experiment measured the half-life and provided upper limits for the SF, α decay, and ε branching. A summary and compilation of the discovery of various isotopes in this mass region is given in 2013Fr02 (²⁴⁴Np, ²⁴⁴Pu, ²⁴⁴Am, ²⁴⁴Cm, ²⁴⁴Bk, and ²⁴⁴Cf), 2011Me01 (²⁴⁴Es), and 2013Th02 (²⁴⁴Fm). This work supersedes the 2003 evaluation by Y.A. Akovali (2003Ak04).

2010, Nuclear Data Sheets
Nuclear structure and decay data for all nuclei with mass number A=184 (Lu, Hf, Ta, W, Re, Os, Ir, Pt, Au, Hg, Tl, Pb, Bi) have been evaluated, and the corresponding level schemes from radioactive decay and reaction studies are presented. This evaluation supersedes the previous publication (R.B. Firestone, Nuclear Data Sheets 58, 243 (1989) (literature cutoff date 1 June 1989)) and subsequent revisions of high spin data for several nuclides by Huo Junde (31 July, 1995) and evaluations by C.M. Baglin for ¹⁸⁴Au, ¹⁸⁴Pb and the new nuclide ¹⁸⁴Bi (literature cutoff dates 4 April 2003, 28 July 2003 and 21 January 2004, respectively). The present evaluation includes literature available by 1 October 2009. Subsequent to those evaluations, (HI, xnγ) studies have contributed significantly to our knowledge of the structure of ¹⁸⁴Re (2005Wh04), ¹⁸⁴Os (2002Sh21, 2002Wh01, 1998Sh36), ¹⁸⁴Hg (1995De30, 1995Sf01) and ¹⁸⁴Au (2004Zh38). Additional information on the level structure of ¹⁸⁴W has become available from new thermal neutron capture measurements (2003Bo52, 2004Lo22, 2007ChZX), from detailed $(p, t)$ reaction studies (2006Me25), new Coulomb excitation (1991Wu05) and $(γ, γ^{'})$ (1993He15) studies, and from the ¹⁹⁸Pt(¹³⁶Xe,Xγ) reaction (2004Wh02); knowledge of ¹⁸⁴Pt has benefited from a new ¹⁸⁴Au ε decay study (2006KrZT, 1992Xu02, 1992Xu06, 1992XuZY), but this decay cannot yet be normalized due to the mixed parentage of the sources used.
Nuclear Data Sheets for A = 208
2007, Nuclear Data Sheets
Detailed level schemes, decay schemes, and the experimental data on which they are based are presented for all nuclei with mass number A = 208. The experimental data are evaluated; inconsistencies and discrepancies are noted; and adopted values for level and γ-ray energies, γ intensities, as well as for other nuclear properties are given. This evaluation replaces the A = 208 evaluation published by M.J. Martin in Nuclear Data Sheets 47, 797 (1986).
Nuclear Data Sheets for A = 232
2006, Nuclear Data Sheets
The evaluator presents in this publication spectroscopic data and level schemes from radioactive decay and nuclear reactions for all nuclei with mass number A = 232.
Highlights from this evaluation include the discovery of a new isotope of francium, ²³²Fr, and the study of its β⁻ decay to levels in ²³²Ra (2004Pe17,1990Me13). Also, it includes the first observation of spontaneous fission in ²³²Th and ²³²U, as well as the measurement of their respective partial half-lives of 1.2 (4) × 10²¹y (1995Bo18) and 2.6 (5) × 10¹⁵y (2000Bo46) for this type of decay.
