EURICA highlights and results Sm / Gd Isomer spectroscopy (from Z~60 proposal by Ideguchi & Simpson) Deformed (K-)Isomer spectroscopy of 164Sm100 & 166Gd100 . Effects of b6 deformation and possible deformed shell closure for N=100 (Patel, Podolyak et al., from Ideguchi / Simpson proposal experiment); 4-qp Kp=11- Isomer in 160Sm – the lightest 4qp K-isomer to date. Tb/Dy/Ho/Er Spectroscopy around A~170 (Watanabi, Söderström, Walker, Regan et al., proposal) . Isomer spectroscopy of 170Dy and b- decay of 170Tb. E(2+) and hindrance Isomeric (Conversion) Spectroscopy beyond the mid-shell for 172Dy. Isomer spectroscopy of 165-8Tb. Mapping the Nilsson orbitals. b decay into 168Dy102 (and 170Dy) and related structure in e.g., 174Er. Future directions of related research. Fast-timing LaBr3 array for DESPEC (36 LaBr3 detectors) Possible studies at both RIKEN (e.g., Zr and Dy neutron-rich regions and FAIR (Dy – Pb) ?

Experiment number: NP1112-RIBF88R1-01: Spokespersons: Hiroshi Watanabe, Par-Anders Soderstrom, Patrick H. Regan & Philip M. Walker 238U beam time 5-11 November 2014. Original LoI for EURICA Physics (submitted as part of MoU - July 2011); Final proposal submitted to RIKEN PAC in May 2012.

Some old history (2011): Following PreSPEC, application to take the CLUSTER detectors to RIKEN following RISING to form EURICA. Note, possible physics highlights included 170Dy, ~110Zr and others

One of the early physics cases for EURICA – see e. g One of the early physics cases for EURICA – see e.g., EURICA Physics workshop, held at GSI Sept. 2011.

B(E2) values for low-lying even-even nuclei with Z =62 (Sm) – 74 (W). Very ‘collective’ transitions (>100 Wu) with maximum B(E2) at mid-shell. This correlates with the lowest E(2+) excitation energy values.

A Fundamental Nuclear Structure Physics Question A Fundamental Nuclear Structure Physics Question? ‘Simple’ nuclear correlation schemes appear to show a direct link between nuclear quadrupole (b2) deformation and the number of proton-neutron valence interactions [e.g., Casten & Zamfir, Phys. Rev. Lett. 70, 402 (1993)]. Are the most ‘collective’ nuclei at the valence maximum? 170Dy is a Valence Maximum Nucleus, having 50→ 66 →82 protons & 82 → 104 → 126 neutrons How does the nuclear structure evolve as the valence maximum nucleus is approached?

But….. E(2+) excitation energies do not appear to (always) minimize at the N=104. Er (Z=68) and Hf (Z=70) have minimum E(2+) at N=104. …BUT Dy (Z=66) isotopes localised at N=98 then again at N=102? The microscopic effects of ‘isotope specific residual proton-neutron interactions’ between defined (Nilsson) orbitals causes fluctuations in the final deformation. From M. Asai et al., Phys. Rev. C59, 3060 (1999)

Dracoulis, Walker & Kondev Rep. Prog. Phys. 79, 076301 (2016) K-isomer –rich region around the Z~66 ; N~104 valence maximum. Expect to be able to use Isomeric decays to populate low-lying states.

Deformed region: Neutron-rich A~170 nuclei K quantum number and collective rotation: K isomers R I Change direction Spin selection … Yes K-selection … Sort of ! K hindered transitions Weisskopf hindrance Reduced hindrance The degree of K forbiddenness The identification and characterization of K-isomers provides information on Intrinsic orbits near the Fermi surface Pairing energies The degree of axial symmetry

Structure and decay properties of K isomers Kπ = 6+ isomer and γ-band levels Decay from the Kπ = 6+ isomer N=104 N=104 K=6+ 5+γ 4+γ 3+γ 2+γ The relatively low-lying γ band gives a useful way of populating it via the decay of the Kπ = 6+ isomer. The decay from the Kπ = 6+ isomer is much less hindered in comparison with those in the heavier isotones. Chance mixing with the nearly degenerate 6+ member of the γ band (Kπ = 2+) Similar situation expected for 170Dy104 (and 168Gd104) Significant test for the stability of K isomers at the valence product maximum

Deformed region: Neutron-rich A~170 nuclei Kπ = 8- isomers in N = 106 isotones and E1 decays 106 5.8 s ? F.R. Xu et al., PLB 435 (1998) 257 E1 reduced hindrances G.D. Dracoulis et al., PLB 635 (2006) 200 fν~100 from systematics assume Eγ = 150 keV T1/2 ~ 6.5 s G.D. Dracoulis et al., PRC 79 (2009) 061303(R) ⇒ compete with β decay?

Big RIPS tests identify 170Dy isomer (reported June 2013 from Isotope/isomer search performed in Oct 2011) not with EURICA

While we were waiting for ~170Dy … N=100, 164Sm, 166Gd.

Deformation (inferred from E(2+) and E(4+) states) appears to reduce again after ‘local’ increase at N=100; possible evidence for localised N=100 ‘deformed shell closure’

Decay and mixing with Kp=2+ ‘gamma’ band and Kp=6+ isomeric decay ‘reduces’ the Reduced hindrance Compared to Np.Nn Systematics for 170Dy.

172Dy106 : Past the mid-shell

First 172Dy level scheme constructed by (a) Isomer spectroscopy (by gating on conversion of 0.7s isomer in 172Dy (using WASABI; 172Dy gs half life measured to be ~3 s) (b) b- delayed spectroscopy by gating on 172Tb Mother nucleus (spectrum (k) on left).

g vibrational Kp=2+ band is particularly enhanced in 172Dy106 due to simultaneous excitation of several 2qp configurations close to the Fermi surface for N=106 which couple to give K=2 and induce non-axially symmetric, collective motion
