The RI Beam Factory (RIBF) is a third-generation in-flight facility, designed and optimized for the RI beam production by uranium fission. High intensity beams available over a wide region of the nuclear chart by the BigRIPS separator, together with the three spectrometers, namely ZeroDegree, Samurai and SHARAQ/OEDO each having a specific advantage, make a powerful platform for reaction...
Angular distributions for the 9Be(d,d)9Be, 9Be(d,p)10Be, 9Be(d,t)8Be, and 9Be(d,4He)7Li channels were measured [1]. Experimental angular distributions were described within the optical model, the coupled channel approach, and the distorted wave Born approximation. The spectroscopic factors for the systems 9Be =alpha+ 5He and 7Li = d + 5He are close to unity, which confirms the contribution of...
Neutron-rich nuclei close to the r-process path and waiting point nuclei give extremely essential information about intrinsic nuclear properties vital both for nuclear physics and for astrophysics. They reveal how structure effects are of importance for theoretical modeling and can be crucial to understand deviations of microscopic-macroscopic self-consistent models treating both neutron and...
The 2+2 state in non-doubly-magic, even-even nuclei is commonly interpreted as due to a collective excitation. In the vibrational and rotational limits, this state originates from vibrations around the ground-state shape. Even though these basic paradigms are known to represent only a first-order approximation of the nuclear structure, they are still used for classifying isotopes throughout...
It was recently proposed that odd-mass triaxial nuclei can exhibit wobbling motion at low spins. Excited bands identified as wobbling were reported in several nuclei, including two gold isotopes; $^{183}$Au and $^{187}$Au. These Au isotopes are good candidates for studying such phenomena as the nuclei in this mass region are strongly affected by the triaxial degree of freedom [1 - 2]. An...
Isospin symmetry – the neutron-proton exchange symmetry rooted in the concepts of charge symmetry and charge independence of the nuclear force – is one of the key concepts in nuclear physics. It results in beautiful and simple symmetries in the otherwise complex behaviour of nuclei, and examination of how those symmetries are broken can, in turn, shed light on the properties of the...
