Coulomb Excitation Studies of Neutron-Rich Ru and Mo Isotopes
Workshop presentation on using GRETINA, CHICO, and CARIBU for Coulomb excitation studies of even Ru and Mo isotopes, exploring shape evolution through systematic studies and experimental limitations like beam intensity and purity. Analysis includes gamma intensities, level schemes, and nuclear reorientation effects.

Coulomb excitation of even 108-112Ru and 104-108Mo isotopes Juho Rissanen Nuclear Structure Group, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory March 1, 2013 GRETINA workshop 2013 1
COULEX with GRETINA and CHICO2 Highest CARIBU yields at Z 42,N 64 in the lower mass region (106Mo) Reaccelerated beams of refractory elements low E(2+) -> high B(E2) -> high Coulomb excitation cross-section Multiple Coulex of Ru/Mo isotopes on heavy target at safe energies December 2012 GRETINA CHICO2 Good Doppler correction -> better energy resolution March 1, 2013 GRETINA workshop 2013 2
Physics motivation, nuclear shapes r-process path Variety of different shapes Ru Mo prolate oblate triaxial 82 Faisal et al., PRC 82, 014321 (2010) 112Ru Ru isotopes Shape evolution vs mass? 50 Shape evolution vs spin? =0.6 MeV =0 =0.2 MeV =0.4 MeV N=64 N=66 N=68 N=70 March 1, 2013 GRETINA workshop 2013 3
Shape coexistence in Kr isotopes Coulomb excitation of 74,76Kr beams with 208Pb target at GANIL at safe energies High-statistics data allows determination of deformation parameters Q and cos(3 ) for different states c.m. gamma beta 74Kr, 150 hours, 1E4 beam intensity, 99% pure Clement, PRC 75, 054313 (2007) March 1, 2013 GRETINA workshop 2013 4
Summary GRETINA+CHICO+CARIBU allows Coulomb excitation studies of neutron-rich Ru and Mo isotopes Systematic studies of the shape evolution vs. I,Z in the A=110 region (prolate, oblate, shape coexistence, triaxiality) What are the experimental limitations? Beam intensity? With December 2012 performance, 104,106Mo possible in 12 days of beam time. 3 x increase allows 108Mo also Beam purity? How well the impurities are known? Beam energy, E?
