We propose to perform a multi-step Coulomb-excitation study of $^{122}$Te in order to investigate its low-lying collective structures, which can potentially be interpreted in the spirit of multiple-shape coexistence. The AGATA array will be employed to obtain $\gamma$-ray intensities in coincidence with the scattered $^{58}$Ni beam ions detected at backward angles by the SPIDER particle...
We propose to Coulomb excite 112Cd using a 60Ni beam of 2pnA intensity. The γ rays depopulating Coulomb-excited states of 112Cd will be detected by 13 triple clusters (ATC) of the AGATA array working in coincidence with the SPIDER array to detect back-scattered beam particles. SPIDER will be placed at laboratory angles ranging from 124◦ to 161◦ (θCM=151◦–171◦) to enhance the probability of...
Coexistence between spherical and deformed shapes is largely found in and near semi-magic or doubly-magic nuclei.
The region between the doubly-magic $^{48}$Ca and $^{56}$Ni nuclei is predicted to present phenomena of shape coexistence but information on E0 and E2 transition strengths between deformed and spherical configurations are still rather scarce.
In $^{52}$Cr ($Z=24$, $N=28$) a...
Inverse beta decay (IBD) is a crucial process historically employed to study neutrinos. For example, discrepancies between measured and expected IBD rates on $^{71}$Ga, the so-called $Gallium$ $anomaly$, suggest the possible existence of sterile neutrinos. A recent publication showed that the poorly known associated NME can be extracted measuring the gamma decay width from the Isobaric Analog...
