New isotopes of interest to astrophysics

Creators

Description

The β decays of the new isotopes 53Ti and 59Mn are studied. These neutron-rich isotopes have half-lives of 32.7 +- 0.9 s and 4.75 +- 0.14 s, respectively. They are produced via the 48Ca(7Li,pn)53Ti and 48Ca(13C,pn)59Mn reactions using beams from the Argonne National Laboratory FN Tandem Van de Graaff accelerator. Measurements of γ singles, γ-γ coincidences, and β-γ coincidences were facilitated by a pneumatic target-transfer system (''rabbit''). Decay schemes are presented, and the measured masses will be compared with various predictions. The relevance to astrophysics is discussed. In addition, a new 8-target multiple rabbit system is described
