Systematics of B(E2) values and matrix elements between 2+ (T=1) and 0+ (T=1) states in T=1 isospin triplets. 2+2(T=1) 2+1(T=1) A=22: Ne, Na, Mg A=26: Mg, Al, Si A=30: Si, P, S A=34: S, Cl, Ar A=38: Ar, K, Ca A=42: Ca, Sc, Ti 0+ (T=1)
Systematics of N=Z=odd nuclei 2+1 -> 0+ 2+2 -> 0+
2+ T=1 1+ T=0 38K Is it the right 2+ state?The energy agrees with the neighbours. 2403 keV 2167 keV 2206 keV 1+ T=0 0+ T=1 3+ T=0 38Ca 38Ar
Comparison across the T=1 triplet 2 * M (Tz=0) M (Tz=1) + M(Tz=-1) Data suggests all three values are low but, in fact, it’s hiding something: (for Tz=0 nucleus)
The variation of M against Tz Tz defined as (N-Z)/2 38Ar 38Ca 38K
Clearly something of interest in 38K: 7+ T=0 22ms Fusion-evap not possible: 3 previous measurements 40Ca(d,a) 76 (50) fs 39K (3He,a) 54 (25) fs 40Ca(d,a) 90 (25) fs Weighted average t = 72 (16) fs 2403 keV 2+ T=1 1+ T=0 2272 keV 1944 keV 1+ T=0 0+ T=1 3+ T=0 38K
Experimental set-up. Target: 220 g/cm2 Ca on a Ni backing of 1mg/cm2. Flash of gold on front face. d a-particles
Experimental set up, 8 solar cells ~ 2cm from the target.Angles subtended 1430-1660.8 clovers (900, 1400) and 2 LEPS (900).
Data fitted with a modified version of Dechist. Fitted t values for the 2403 keV level: 114 (26) fs 159 (30) fs
The variation of M against Tz Provisional data point added for 38K 38Ar 38Ca
2403 keV 2+ T=1 1+ T=0 2272 keV 1944 keV 38K Branching ratio of the 2+ state is also important: Ratio from previous work is: 2272 keV: 6.4 1944 keV: 100 but 1944 is clearly a doublet which we are currently trying to sort out, this will increase the relative strength of the 2272 keV transition. A factor of 2 would take the matrix element to 7.5. 1+ T=0 0+ T=1 3+ T=0
