Title β-delayed γ-proton decay in 56Zn: analysis of the charged-particle spectrum Type Journal Article
Year 2015 Publication Acta Physica Polonica B Abbreviated Journal Acta Phys. Pol. B
Volume (down) 46 Issue 3 Pages 709-712
Keywords
Abstract A study of the beta decay of the proton-rich T-z = 2 nucleus Zn-56 has been reported in a recent publication. A rare and exotic decay mode, beta-delayed gamma-proton decay, has been observed there for the first time in the fp shell. Here, we expand on some of the details of the data analysis, focussing on the charged particle spectrum.

Title Decay studies in the A similar to 225 Po-Fr region from the DESPEC campaign at GSI in 2021 Type Journal Article
Year 2022 Publication Nuovo Cimento C Abbreviated Journal Nuovo Cim. C
Volume (down) 45 Issue 5 Pages 125 - 4pp
Keywords
Abstract The HISPEC-DESPEC collaboration aims at investigating the struc-ture of exotic nuclei formed in fragmentation reactions with decay spectroscopymeasurements, as part of the FAIR Phase-0 campaign at GSI. This paper reportson first results of an experiment performed in spring 2021, with a focus on beta-decaystudies in the Po-Fr nuclei in the 220 < A <230 island of octupole deformationexploiting the DESPEC setup. Ion-beta correlations and fast-timing techniques arebeing employed, giving an insight into this difficult-to-reach region.

Title Observation and applications of single-electron charge signals in the XENON100 experiment Type Journal Article
Year 2014 Publication Journal of Physics G Abbreviated Journal J. Phys. G
Volume (down) 41 Issue 3 Pages 035201 - 13pp
Keywords xenon; single electron; photoionization; double phase TPC
Abstract The XENON100 dark matter experiment uses liquid xenon in a time projection chamber (TPC) to measure xenon nuclear recoils resulting from the scattering of dark matter weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). In this paper, we report the observation of single-electron charge signals which are not related to WIMP interactions. These signals, which show the excellent sensitivity of the detector to small charge signals, are explained as being due to the photoionization of impurities in the liquid xenon and of the metal components inside the TPC. They are used as a unique calibration source to characterize the detector. We explain how we can infer crucial parameters for the XENON100 experiment: the secondary-scintillation gain, the extraction yield from the liquid to the gas phase and the electron drift velocity.

Title The neutron background of the XENON100 dark matter search experiment Type Journal Article
Year 2013 Publication Journal of Physics G Abbreviated Journal J. Phys. G
Volume (down) 40 Issue 11 Pages 115201 - 17pp
Keywords
Abstract TheXENON100 experiment, installed underground at the LaboratoriNazionali del Gran Sasso, aims to directly detect dark matter in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) via their elastic scattering off xenon nuclei. This paper presents a study on the nuclear recoil background of the experiment, taking into account neutron backgrounds from (alpha, n) reactions and spontaneous fission due to natural radioactivity in the detector and shield materials, as well as muon-induced neutrons. Based on MonteCarlo simulations and using measured radioactive contaminations of all detector components, we predict the nuclear recoil backgrounds for the WIMP search results published by theXENON100 experiment in 2011 and 2012, 0.11(-0.04)(+0.08) events and 0.17(-0.07)(+0.12) events, respectively, and conclude that they do not limit the sensitivity of the experiment.

Title Gamow-Teller Beta Decay and Pseudo-SU(4) Symmetry Type Journal Article
Year 2023 Publication Symmetry-Basel Abbreviated Journal Symmetry-Basel
Volume (down) 15 Issue 11 Pages 2001 - 15pp
Keywords Gamow-Teller beta decay; pseudo-SU(4) symmetry; odd-odd N = Z nuclei
Abstract We report on recent experimental results on beta decay into self-conjugate ( N = Z) nuclei with mass number 58 <= A <= 70. Super-allowed b decays from the J(pi) = 0(+) ground state of a Z = N + 2 parent nucleus are to the isobaric analogue state through so-called Fermi transitions and to J(pi) = 1(+) states by way of Gamow-Teller (GT) transitions. The operator of the latter decay is a generator of Wigner's SU(4) algebra and as a consequence GT transitions obey selection rules associated with this symmetry. Since SU(4) is progressively broken with increasing A, mainly as a consequence of the spinorbit interaction, this symmetry is not relevant for the nuclei considered here. We argue, however, that the pseudo-spin-orbit splitting can be small in nuclei with 58 <= A <= 70, in which case nuclear states exhibit an approximate pseudo-SU(4) symmetry. To test this conjecture, GT decay strength is calculated with use of a schematic Hamiltonian with pseudo-SU(4) symmetry. Some generic features of the GT beta decay due to pseudo-SU(4) symmetry are pointed out. The experimentally observed GT strength indicates a restoration of pseudo-SU(4) symmetry for A = 70.
