Discovery of a new nuclide praseodymium 125 and its significance

  • 1. Nagoya Univ. (Japan)

Description

An isotope separator, TIARA-ISOL is installed on the TIARA facility, Takasaki Laboratory, JAERI. Using this facility, wide range of new nuclides can be investigated, and an neutron-deficient nuclide praseodymium 125 close to the proton drip line was discovered. The half life of Pr-125 was calculated to be around 3s by Tachibana and 92Mo(36Ar, p2n) reaction was chosen as a production reaction based on the calculation with the ALICE code. The experimental setup and procedure was described. The gamma ray emmission from Pr-125 was identified at 135.8 keV and the half life was found to be 3.3±0.7s. Prospects for future research is described. (T.H.)
