AI中文摘要:
我们利用Oslo方法对锌-64(⁶⁴Zn)的γ衰变性质开展研究,该方法基于⁶⁴Zn(p,p'γ)数据,结合在NewSUBARU装置测得的⁶⁴Zn(γ,n)截面测量结果。借助Oslo方法,我们测量了中子阈以下的γ射线强度函数(γSF)和核能级密度(NLD)。观测发现,锌-64准连续区的NLD趋势最符合类恒温模型,其温度参数T_CT=1.21(5) MeV。令人惊讶的是,我们发现从准连续区直接跃迁到0⁺基态的γ射线跃迁被强烈抑制,抑制因子κ≈0.5,这可能表明基态衰变中存在非统计效应,例如源于核形状差异。对于中子分离能以上的γ能量,NewSUBARU的(γ,n)数据集探测到了巨偶极共振的显著部分。此外,我们发现Oslo方法测得的γSF表现出相当平滑的行为,在Eγ<4 MeV时存在明显的低能增强(LEE)。
英文摘要:
We present a study on the $γ$-decay properties of $^{64}$Zn using the Oslo method on $^{64}$Zn($p,p^\prime γ$) data combined with $^{64}$Zn$(γ,n)$ cross-section measurements at the NewSUBARU facility. With the Oslo method, we have measured the $γ$-ray strength function ($γ$SF) and the nuclear level density (NLD) below the neutron threshold. We observe that the NLD trend in the quasi-continuum region of $^{64}$Zn is best characterized by a constant-temperature-like model. %with temperature parameter $T_{\rm CT}=1.21(5)$ MeV. Surprisingly, we find that $γ$-ray transitions from the quasi-continuum decaying directly to the $0^+$ ground state seem to be strongly hindered with a hindrance factor of $κ\approx 0.5$, which could be an indication of non-statistical effects in the ground-state decay due to, \textit{e.g.}, differences in nuclear shapes. For $γ$ energies above the neutron separation energy, the NewSUBARU ($γ, n$) data set probes a significant part of the giant dipole resonance. Furthermore, we find that the Oslo-method $γ$SF shows a rather smooth behavior, with a clear low-energy enhancement (LEE) for $E_γ < 4$ MeV.
