Introduction

6/25/2014

  • T. Bhattacharjee, INTC Meeting, ISOLDE CERN
  • Evolution of nuclear structure can be studied with the increase in N/Z ratio –

Provides the testing ground for the single particle energy and two body matrix elements near double shell closure of 132Sn

  • Odd-Odd nuclei allows to verify the p-n interaction matrix elements
  • Nuclei are less studied due to the difficulty in their population, as are away from

the line of stability on the neutron rich side of nuclear landscape.

Motivation

Odd-A Iodine ( N ≤ 82):

  • Extrapolated

value

  • f

quadrupole moment for 5/2+ st state te at shell closure compared to that of 7/2+

  • Experiment: |Q|5/2+ > |Q|7/2+
  • Theory : |Q|7/2+ > |Q|5/2+
  • Modified two-body interaction as one

moves away towards more neutron rich nuclei

6/25/2014

  • T. Bhattacharjee, INTC Meeting, ISOLDE CERN

Motivating Points:  Study of nuclei both in the particle and hole space of neutron compared to N=82  Lifetime and transition moment measurements provide very important information along with conventional g spectroscopy Odd-Odd Iodine (N ≥ 82):  Decrease in excitation energy of the 6- state in odd-odd 136I(N = 83) and 138I(N = 85) Manifestation of the pd5/2 anomaly

  • --- Lowering of excitation energy of

5/2+ state of 135

51Sb84

 Explained as lowering of spe of pd5/2 orbital in case of 136,138I  Lowering of single particle energy of pd5/2

  • rbital & Change in the n-p interaction

Why 134I ?

 Three extra proton and single neutron hole  Only p-p and p-n interaction is effective as n-n interction can be ignored for low lying states  p-p interaction is comparatively better known  Unique testing ground for the evolution of p-n interaction with the increase in neutron to proton ratio

  • T. Bhattacharjee, INTC Meeting, ISOLDE CERN
  • Shell model calculation with

OXBASH code considering 100Sn as core (present work)

  • Matches with the results from

132Sn core : L. Coraggio et al., Phys. Rev. C80,

061303(R) (2009).

  • Shows important results

Why 134I ?

  • Position of calculated 3+ and

5+ states reversed compared to that of present status of expt.

  • Important to confirm the spin
  • f 79 keV level, whether it is

really inversed or prediction

  • f 5+ is different

With 5+ of 79 keV state t = 0.06 ns Q = 0.02 eb With 3+ of 79 keV state t = 2 ns Q = 0.3 eb

 Incomplete experimental information  Previous experiments done with Ge(Li) and e-g coincidence setup

Contamination: Isobaric Contamination will not be a problem as the isobaric neighbors have very short half lives (~ secs) compared to 42 mins half life for 134Te Only isobaric activity of 134I (52 mins) will be there anyway as a part of the measurement. Contaminant g-lines (keV) (per 100 decay of 134I ground state): 847 (96); 884(65); 1072(15); 621(10); 677(8); 405(8); 540(7); 135(5); 947(4); 766(4)
