Search for shape coexistence in the Selenium isotopes near the N=50 neutron shell closure

Aim of this contribution is the investigation of the shape coexistence phenomenon in the neutron-rich Selenium (Z=34) isotopes at or near the N=50 shell closure, by γ-ray spectroscopy. The 83 Se (N=49) and 84 Se (N=50) nuclei were populated by neutron capture (ILL) and a sub-Coulomb barrier transfer reaction (IFIN-HH), respectively. The decay schemes of both nuclei were significantly extended and they are still under investigation. Concerning the 83 Se, γ-spectroscopy data allowed for the identification of 28 new primary γ transitions, 16 new levels and 89 new secondary γ transitions. Firm spin and parity assignment of the newly found states will be obtained from angular correlation investigation, currently ongoing. In the case of 84 Se, the γ decay from the second and third 0 ! states were observed for the first time and preliminary results from lifetime measurements were obtained for both the states.

Abstract

Aim of this contribution is the investigation of the shape coexistence phenomenon in the neutron-rich Selenium (Z=34) isotopes at or near the N=50 shell closure, by γ-ray spectroscopy. The 83 Se (N=49) and 84 Se (N=50) nuclei were populated by neutron capture (ILL) and a sub-Coulomb barrier transfer reaction (IFIN-HH), respectively. The decay schemes of both nuclei were significantly extended and they are still under investigation. Concerning the 83 Se, γ-spectroscopy data allowed for the identification of 28 new primary γ transitions, 16 new levels and 89 new secondary γ transitions. Firm spin and parity assignment of the newly found states will be obtained from angular correlation investigation, currently ongoing. In the case of 84 Se, the γ decay from the second and third 0 ! states were observed for the first time and preliminary results from lifetime measurements were obtained for both the states.
