Doppler Shift Attenuation Method

Lifetime measurements have been made by the Doppler-shift attenuation method for the 1.98-, 3.63-, 3.92-, and 4.45-Mev states in O18 and the 1.28-, 3.34-, and 4.47-Mev states in Ne22, excited by the reactions Li7(C12, pγ)O18 and Li7(O16, pγ)Ne22. Branching ratios have also been measured. The results are tabulated.[Formula: see text]The decay of the 3.92-Mev state in O18 is 93.5% to the 1.98-Mev state and 6.5% to the ground state and of the 4.45-Mev state 74% to the 3.63-Mev state, 26% to the 1.98-Mev state, and less than 2% to the ground state. In Ne22, the ground-state transition from the 4.47-Mev state is less than 2% of the decay to the first excited state.

The lifetimes of the 1.63-, 4.25-, 4.97-, and 5.63-MeV levels in 20Ne have been measured by the Doppler shift attenuation method. The lifetimes in picoseconds are 1.23 ± 0.12, 0.134 ± 0.012, [Formula: see text], and 0.35 ± 0.075 respectively.

The decay of the 9.699 MeV level in 28Si has been studied using the reaction 27Al(p,γ)28Si at Ep = 1724 keV. Gamma rays from the decay of the 9.699 MeV level were observed with large-volume Ge(Li) detectors. Branching ratios for the decay of the 9.699 MeV level have been obtained and a lower limit for the lifetime of this level has been measured to be [Formula: see text] using the Doppler-shift attenuation method.

The energies, gamma-ray branching ratios, and mean nuclear lifetimes of the six lowest lying levels in 35Cl have been measured. Gamma rays following the reaction 32S(α,pγ)35Cl were studied using two Ge(Li) detectors with 15-cm3 and 40-cm3 active volumes respectively. The lifetimes of the five lowest lying levels were measured using the Doppler shift attenuation method, with the results: 1219 keV, [Formula: see text]; 1763 keV, 0.55 ± 0.15 ps; 2646 keV, 0.30 ± 0.09 ps; 2695 keV, <0.03 ps; and 3003 keV, <0.05 ps. The lifetime of the 3163-keV level was measured to be 60 ± 7 ps, using a recoil distance method. The level structure is discussed taking into account known lifetimes, spins, parities, and gamma-ray mixing ratios.

First Time

The low-lying states of 71Ge have been studied the via the 71Ga (p,n γ)71Ge reaction using proton beam energies of 2.5–4.3 MeV. The angular distributions have been used to assign the spins and the multipole mixing ratios using statistical theory for compound nuclear reactions. The ambiguity in the spin values for the various levels has been removed. The multipole mixing ratios for a few γ-transitions have been newly measured. The lifetimes of the levels at 747.0, 808.0, 831.1, 1377.8, 1406.6, 1414.4, 1422.1, 1558.8 and 1566.1 keV excitation energies have been measured for the first time using the Doppler shift attenuation method.

Weak Resonance

A weak resonance at 850 keV in 15N(α,γ)19F corresponding to a level at 4681 ± 1 keV in 19F has been found. Angular distributions and Doppler shifts have been measured for the primary decays to the 5/2− level at 1.35 MeV (63%), 3/2− level at 1.46 MeV (31%), and the 5/2+ level at 197 keV (6%). A spin of 5/2 has been assigned to the resonance level and negative parity is shown to be very likely. The lifetime of the resonance was measured by the Doppler shift attenuation method to be τ = (15.4 ± 3.0) × 10−15 s or Γ = 42.8 ± 8.5 meV. The measured value of ωγ was 6.0 ± 1.0 meV. These measurements together with previous information on Γγ/Γ imply the observed M1 transition strengths are a factor of 20 weaker than predicted for the 5/2 member of the K = 3/2− band in 19F which has previously been associated with this level.

Combined Data

All levels below 5.2 MeV in 25Mg have been studied using the reaction 25Mg(p, p′γ). In-elastically scattered protons were detected in an annular surface barrier detector located at 180°; coincidence gamma-ray spectra were obtained at Ge (Li) detector angles of 90°, 45°, and 135°. Level energies were determined from unshifted gamma-ray energies recorded in the 90° spectra. Lifetimes were obtained from the attenuated Doppler shift of gamma-ray energies recorded in spectra taken at forward and backward angles. Branching ratios were deduced from the combined data of all three angles. The identification of levels as members of rotational bands is discussed, and transition strengths deduced from the present measurements are compared with predictions of the simple rotational model.

Good Agreement

A search is described for an excited Kn = 0+ rotational band based on the 6� 44 MeV level of 24Mg. Mean nuclear lifetimes have been measured by the Doppler shift attenuation method using the 12C('60,a)24Mg reaction and the results are 't'm = 66�29, 28�7 and 13�3 fs for levels at 6'44, 8�65 and 10� 58 MeV respectively. The absolute transition rates found for the y decays from the 6�44 and 8�65 MeV levels are in good agreement with the results of shell model calculations if it is assumed that these levels are the 0+ and 2 + members respectively of the excited Kn = 0+ rotational band. Based on this assumption, a result Qoo = 0�48 �0�08b is obtained for the intraband quadrupole moment. From a study of the 23Na(p, y) reaction, it is established that the J = 4 levels at 12� 63 and 13�05 MeV do not decay by enhanced E2 transitions to the 8� 65 MeV level. This suggests that neither of these levels is the 4 + member of the excited Kn = 0+ rotational band. An assignment of J" = 4+ is made to one member of the doublet at 10�58 MeV.
