Fast-Timing Lifetime Measurement of $$^{174,176,178,180}$$ 174 , 176 , 178 , 180 Hf

Nuclear structure of the neutron-rich nuclei 140Ba and 180Hf

“…The reason for this is that fusion-evaporation reactions tend to populated mostly neutron-deficient nuclei. A recent experimental campaign at IFIN-HH [23] resulted in measurements of the lifetimes of the ground state band up to the 6 + 1 , using the fast-timing technique. Still, there is a significant amount of certain band and non-band levels/transitions with uncertain structure properties, either in terms of their spins,parities and mixing ratios, [24,25].…”
