The decay of 28Si energy levels at 4.98, 6.28, 6.69, 7.42, 7.80, and 7.93 MeV excited in the 27Al(p,γ)28Si reaction has been investigated. Lifetime and branching ratio studies on 0+ and 2+ levels leads to the conclusion that the existence of an excited prolate rotational band cannot be definitely ruled out, so that both prolate and oblate intrinsic states may be present as predicted by Hartree–Fock calculations. From these calculations, two low-lying (Jπ, K) = (3+, 3) levels due to particle–hole type excitations of the oblate and prolate intrinsic states should be present: emphasis was given to measurements on levels at 6.28 and 7.80 MeV as possible candidates. The mixing ratio for the 3+ → 3+ gamma ray transition has been studied from angular distribution measurements. An E2 strength of 17 ± 6 Wu (Wu = Weiskopf unit) is proposed, which is in agreement with a strong deformation of both states, but in disagreement with an important shape difference like prolate versus oblate.

The properties of the first five excited levels in 37Ar were investigated via the 37Cl(p,n)37Ar reaction at Ep = 3.98, 4.17, 4.38, and 4.81 MeV and via the 34S(α,n)37Ar reaction at Eα = 8.00, 8.50, and 8.60 MeV. The following excitation energies were obtained: Ex = 1409.7 ± 0.4, 1611.5 ± 0.4, 2217.8 ± 0.8, 2491.4 ± 0.8, and 2797.0 ± 0.8 keV. These levels were found to decay almost entirely to the ground state. The angular distribution and the linear polarization of the decay gamma rays of these levels were measured. From these measurements definite spin–parity assignments as well as values of the mixing ratio of the ground state gamma-ray transitions were obtained. These are: Ex(Jπ, δ) = 1612 ([Formula: see text], +0.11 ± 0.02), 2218 ([Formula: see text], 0.0 ± 0.02), 2491 ([Formula: see text]), and 2797 ([Formula: see text], −0.16 ± 0.03 or +8.0 ± 1.5, the value of −0.16 being more probable). The measurements were also consistent with a spin of [Formula: see text] for the 1410 keV level. The results are compared with a recent shell-model calculation and are discussed in the context of the solar neutrino capture rate in 37Cl.

A capillary pulsed-discharge and a theta-pinch were used to record Kr spectra in the region of 330–4800 Å. A set of 168 transitions of these spectra were classified for the first time. We extended the analysis to twenty-five new energy levels belonging to 3s23p24d, 3s23p25d even configurations. We calculated weighted transition probabilities (gA) for all of the experimentally observed lines and lifetimes for new energy levels using a relativistic Hartree–Fock method, including core-polarization effects.

AbstractA detailed investigation of the energy levels of perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic tetraethylester as a representative compound for the whole family of perylene esters was performed. It was revealed via electrochemical measurements that one oxidation and two reductions take place. The bandgaps determined via the electrochemical approach are in good agreement with the optical bandgap obtained from the absorption spectra via a Tauc plot. In addition, absorption spectra in dependence of the electrochemical potential were the basis for extensive quantum-chemical calculations of the neutral, monoanionic, and dianionic molecules. For this purpose, calculations based on density functional theory were compared with post-Hartree–Fock methods and the CAM-B3LYP functional proved to be the most reliable choice for the calculation of absorption spectra. Furthermore, spectral features found experimentally could be reproduced with vibronic calculations and allowed to understand their origins. In particular, the two lowest energy absorption bands of the anion are not caused by absorption of two distinct electronic states, which might have been expected from vertical excitation calculations, but both states exhibit a strong vibronic progression resulting in contributions to both bands.

The 1459-keV level of 19F was populated by the 19F(p,p′γ)19F reaction at a proton energy of 2.78 MeV. The E2/M1 mixing ratio for the 1459 → 110 keV transition was determined to be [Formula: see text] from a combination of the γ-ray angular distribution and linear polarization and the nuclear lifetime. The γ-ray angular distribution was measured with a coaxial Ge(Li) detector and the γ-ray linear polarization with a planar Ge(Li) detector. The corresponding E2 and M1 transition strengths for a lifetime of 0.084 ± 0.020 ps are found to be [Formula: see text] and 0.10 ± 0.03 W.u. respectively. They are in good agreement with the particle–hole calculations of Benson and Flowers. The branching ratios of the 1459-keV level agree well with those of Poletti et al. The γ-ray transitions from the 1459-keV level provide a good example for demonstrating the usefulness of a single crystal Ge(Li) polarimeter.

A pulsed discharge light source to study the six and seven times ionized xenon spectra in the 419–4642 Å region was used. A set of 40 transitions of Xe VII and 25 transitions of Xe VIII were classified for the first time. We revised the values for the previously known energy levels and extended the analysis for Xe VII to 10 new energy levels belonging to 5s6d, 5s7s and 5s7p, 4d95s25p even and odd configurations, respectively. Seven new energy levels of the core excited configuration 4d95s5d of Xe VIII are presented. For the prediction of the atomic parameters, energy levels, and transition, relativistic Hartree–Fock calculations were used.

ABSTRACT Accurate atomic data are essential for opacity calculations and for abundance analyses of the Sun and other stars. The aim of this work is to provide accurate and extensive results of energy levels and transition data for C i–iv. The Multiconfiguration Dirac–Hartree–Fock and relativistic configuration interaction methods were used in this work. To improve the quality of the wavefunctions and reduce the relative differences between length and velocity forms for transition data involving high Rydberg states, alternative computational strategies were employed by imposing restrictions on the electron substitutions when constructing the orbital basis for each atom and ion. Transition data, for example, weighted oscillator strengths and transition probabilities, are given for radiative electric dipole (E1) transitions involving levels up to 1s22s22p6s for C i, up to 1s22s27f for C ii, up to 1s22s7f for C iii, and up to 1s28g for C iv. Using the difference between the transition rates in length and velocity gauges as an internal validation, the average uncertainties of all presented E1 transitions are estimated to be 8.05 per cent, 7.20 per cent, 1.77 per cent, and 0.28 per cent, respectively, for C i–iv. Extensive comparisons with available experimental and theoretical results are performed and good agreement is observed for most of the transitions. In addition, the C i data were employed in a re-analysis of the solar carbon abundance. The new transition data give a line-by-line dispersion similar to the one obtained when using transition data that are typically used in stellar spectroscopic applications today.

This paper outlines some of the physics opportunities available with the GSI RISING active stopper and presents preliminary results from an experiment aimed at performing beta-delayed gamma-ray spectroscopic studies in heavy-neutron-rich nuclei produced following the projectile fragmentation of a 1 GeV per nucleon 208 Pb primary beam. The energy response of the silicon active stopping detector for both heavy secondary fragments and beta-particles is demonstrated and preliminary results on the decays of neutron-rich Tantalum ( Ta ) to Tungsten ( W ) isotopes are presented as examples of the potential of this technique to allow new structural studies in hitherto experimentally unreachable heavy, neutron-rich nuclei. The resulting spectral information inferred from excited states in the tungsten daughter nuclei are compared with results from axially symmetric Hartree–Fock calculations of the nuclear shape and suggest a change in ground state structure for the N = 116 isotone 190 W compared to the lighter isotopes of this element.
