Abstract: This proposal aims to investigate the shell evolution in the region of the double
magic 208Pb isotope involving the neutron g9/2 shell through the lifetime determination of the
lowest lying yrast excited states in 212Pb and 208Hg isotopes. In particular, the main goal will
be to determine the B(E2 : 4+ → 2+) and B(E2 : 2+ → 0+) transition strengths in 212Pb and
208Hg isotopes and...
In this Letter of Intent, we propose an experiment to study the onset of octupole correlations in the neutron-deficient plutonium ($Z=94$) isotopes. Specifically, we will identify and study excited states in the isotopes $^{232,234}$Pu nuclei, for which there is no known information. The nuclei of interest will be populated using multinucleon transfer reactions. One possibility is to use a...
Octupole deformation can be inferred in even-even nuclei by two signatures: the presence of low-lying negative parity states and strong E3 transition strengths. In odd nuclei, this deformation gives rise to opposite parity doublets.
The aim of this experiment is to exploit the potentiality of the AGATA + PRISMA setup, implemented with an array of fast scintillators, to identify the...
