Level lifetimes and quadrupole moments from Coulomb excitation in the Ba chain * — •Christopher Bauer1, Giulia Guastalla1, Jörg Leske1, Thomas Möller1, Norbert Pietralla1, Darek Seweryniak2, Christian Stahl1, Robert Stegmann1, Johannes Wiederhold1, and Shaofei Zhu2 — 1Institut für Kernphysik, TU Darmstadt, Germany — 2Argonne National Lab, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A.
The chain of Barium isotopes enables us to study experimentally the evolution of nuclear quadrupole collectivity from the shell closure at N=82 towards neutron-deficient or neutron-rich deformed nuclei. The TU Darmstadt group has investigated several nuclei from stable 130,132Ba up to radioactive 140,142Ba with the projectile-Coulomb excitation technique including the use of the Doppler-shift attenuation method (DSAM). Lifetimes of quadrupole-collective states of 132Ba and 140Ba were obtained for the first time as well as the static electric quadrupole moments Q(21+) for 130,132Ba and 140,142Ba. The results are compared to Monte Carlo shell model [1] and Beyond-Mean-Field calculations [2].
