249FM c  2012He09: {+253}No was produced in {+207}Pb({+48}Ca,2n) reaction.
249FM2c  The {+48}Ca beam at E=218.4 MeV from the UNILAC accelerator at GSI
249FM3c  bombarded a 98.9% enriched {+207}Pb target. Evaporation
249FM4c  residues were separated using the velocity filter SHIP. They were
249FM5c  then implanted into a position-sensitive 16-strip PIPS detector
249FM6c  at the focal plane The PIPS detector was used to measure |a
249FM7c  decay energy of the implanted nuclei and their daughter products.
249FM8c  It was surrounded in backward hemisphere by a box of silicon
249FM9c  detectors to stop |a particles. Gamma rays were detected
249FMac  using a four crystal Ge-clover detector shielded with Cu, Cd, Pb
249FMdc  (Expt.1), and VEGA-type detector without shielding (Expt.2)
249FMec  FWHM=1.7 keV (Expt.1) and FWHM=2.5 keV (Expt.2) for the 279.5 keV
249FMec  |g-rays. Measured E|g, I|g, E{-|a}, I{-|a}, |a|g coin (|Dt|<|+0.4 |ms).
249FMfc  Deduced level scheme, J|p, and simulated the sum energy (E{-|a}+E{-ce})
249FMgc  spectra as a function of the implantation depth of {+253}No by GEANT4
249FMhc  code.
249FM c  2004He28,2004He04,1997He29 (same group as 2012He09):
249FM2c  {+253}No produced in {+207}Pb({+48}Ca,2n)
249FM2c  Residues separated by SHIP velocity filter and
249FM3c  implanted into PIPS of GSI. Measured |a, |g, |g|g coin,
249FM4c  |a|g coin. Prompt and delayed spectra following |a decay of {+253}No.
249FM c  2011Lo06: (The same group as 2006Lo12 at FLNR, JINR. However, 2011Lo06
249FM2c  did the measurements with increased efficiency of their detector
249FM3c  system and revisited the decay scheme). {+253}No was produced in
249FM2c  {+207}Pb({+48}Ca,2n). The residues were separated by VASSILISSA
249FM3c  recoil separator and implanted into the GABRIELA detection system at
249FM4c  focal plane. The detectors consisted of 48x48 strip
249FM5c  Double-Sided-Silicon strip Detector (DSSD), 32-strip silicon detector
249FM6c  upstream and a Ge detector. The efficiency for |g ray detection was
249FM7c  increased to 16.4% for 100-keV photon and 3.4% at 1332 keV.
249FM8c  Measured |a, |g, |g|g coin, |a|g coin, conversion
249FM9c  electrons and |a(ce) coin and prompt and delayed spectra following
249FMac  |a decay of {+253}No. Confirmed the work of 2006Lo12 and observed
249FMbc  a new |a-group to a (7/2-) state at 669 keV
249FM c  2006Lo12 and 2006Po10: (Same group as 2011Lo06 but used the position
249FM2c  sensitive 16-strip silicon detector.) {+253}No was produced in
249FM3c  {+207}Pb({+48}Ca,2n). The residues were separated by VASSILISSA
249FM4c  recoil separator and implanted into GABRIELA detection system at
249FM5c  FLNR, JINR. The detectors consisted of 16-strip silicon detectors
249FM6c  at the focal plane, 4-strip silicon detectors upstream and the Ge
249FM7c  detector. The source was mixed with
249FM5c  {+254}No which made it impossible to determine the absolute |a decay
249FM6c  branching ratios. Measured |a, |g, |g|g coin, |a|g coin, conversion
249FM7c  electrons and |a(ce) coin. Prompt and delayed spectra following
249FM8c  |a decay of {+253}No.
249FM c  1997He29: |a decay chain {+257}Rf|){+253}No was studied at the UNILAC
249FM2c  accelerator at GSI, Germany. The evaporation residue (ER) from the
249FM3c  {+208}Pb({+50}Ti,n) were separated in the SHIP velocity fiter and then
249FM4c  passed through a TOF system and finally implanted into a position
249FM5c  sensitive 16-strip silicon wafer. Measured E|a, |a|a correlations and
249FM6c  excitation functions, and half-lives. There may be some indication that
249FM7c  the {+253}No |a decay involves the decay of two isomers. Possibly the
249FM8c  8063 |a are correlated with the |a's from 3.9 s {+257}Rf, however
249FM9c  no final conclusion was made
249FM c
249FM cA E(G)$Broad distribution of alpha particles was observed by 2012He09.
249FM2cA The shape analysis of the measured |a spectra was compared to
249FM2cA GEANT simulations that lead to evidence for weak
249FM3cA |a decay branches of {+253}No into g.s. of {+249}Fm or the
249FM4cA ground-state rotational band. In the simulations, by GEANT4 code,
249FM5cA (E{-|a}+E{-ce}) and a total of 0.7% |a decay branch to the g.s.
