Abstract:The decay of 23Ne to levels in 23Na has been studied by measuring the gamma radiation following the β-decay of the 23Ne nuclei produced in the 22Ne(d,p)23Ne reaction. New levels in 23Na reported by Lancman et al. could not be confirmed. The ft-values have been calculated using the Nilsson model and mixed states from Rotation Particle Coupling calculations including pairing effects in the matrix element. Reasonable agreement with the experimental result is obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
