1987Ra12: Yield of 149Cs is reported as 105 atoms/s in U(p,X) E=600 MeV reaction using ISOLDE On-Line Mass Separator
2000KoZH: ISOLDE On-Line Mass Separator. Measured Eγ, Iγ, En, In; deduced T1/2, nuclear magnetic moments, β-delayed neutron emission probabilities
2017Wu04: The 149Cs nuclide was produced at the RIBF-RIKEN facility using the 9Be(238U,F) reaction at E=345 MeV/nucleon. Two experiments, optimized for the transmission of 158Nd and 170Dy ions, were carried out with average beam intensities of 7 pnA and 12 pnA, respectively. The identification of the nuclide of interest was made in the BigRIPS separator by determining the atomic number and the mass-to-charge ratio of the ion using the tof-Bρ-ΔE method. The reaction products were transported through the ZeroDegree Spectrometer and implanted into the beta-counting system WAS3ABi that was surrounded by the EURICA array comprising of 84 HPGe detectors. The typical implantation rate was ≈100 ions/s. Measured (implanted ions)β-, (implanted ions)β--γ and (implanted ions)γ correlations. Deduced half-life of the decay of 149Cs g.s.
2017Li06: 149Cs produced at ISOLDE-CERN facility through U(p,X) reaction with E(p)=1.4 GeV beam from the PS-Booster incident on UCx target. Measured yield, Eγ, Iγ, βγ-coin, half-life of ground state of 149Cs isotope from γ-decay curves using plastic scintillation detectors for β particles, LaBr3(Ce) and HPGe clover detectors for γ detection.
2018Sh11: 149Cs produced at the RIBF-RIKEN facility using 9Be(238U,F) reaction with 238U86+ beam of E=345 MeV/nucleon. Comparison of measured cross sections with theoretical calculations using LISE+ abrasion-fission (AF) model.
2020Wu04: 149Cs nuclide produced at the RIBF-RIKEN facility in 9Be(238U,F) reaction at E=345 MeV/nucleon and an intensity of 5 pnA. Identification of fission fragments of interest was made based ON time-of-flight (tof), magnetic rigidity (Bρ), and energy loss (ΔE) using the BigRIPS spectrometer, determining atomic Z and mass-to-charge ratio α/Q, where Q=charge state of the ions. The separated nuclei were implanted at a rate of 100 ions/s in the β counting system of the Wide range Active Silicon-Strip Stopper Array for Beta and ion detection (WAS3ABi), which included a stack of five Double Sided Silicon Strip Detectors (DSSSDs). The WAS3ABi setup was surrounded by Euroball RIken Cluster Array (EURICA) array of 84 HPGe detectors for γ detection. Half-life of the separated and implanted ions was determined by fitting the time distribution of β(implants)- and/or βγ(implants)-correlated decay curves to the sum of activities of parent nuclei, daughter nuclei, grand-daughter nuclei, β-delayed neutron daughter and grand-daughter nuclei, and a constant background. Comparison of measured half-lives with FRDM+QRPA (2003), FRDM+QRPA (2019), KTUY+GT2, RHB+pn-RQRPA, and DF+CQRPA theoretical calculations.
150Xe isotope has been identified by 2018Sh11 at RIKEN, but its decay characteristics through β- and β-n, populating 150Cs and 149Cs, respectively are unknown.
