Combined analysis of Coulex and lifetime measurements: Neutron-rich Xe isotopes — •Corinna Henrich, Stoyanka Ilieva, Thorsten Kröll, and Sabine Bönig — Institut für Kernphysik, TU Darmstadt, Germany
The region around the doubly magic nucleus 132Sn is of special interest as both single-particle and mean-field approaches can be applied by theory. In order to gain further understanding of
the nuclear structure in this region, we studied the even-even neutron-rich 138−142Xe isotopes.
Two experiments were carried out. "Safe" Coulomb excitation was done at REX-ISOLDE (CERN,
Geneva) using the MINIBALL spectrometer (IS411 campaign). In addition, picosecond lifetimes of
excited states, populated following the neutron-induced fission of 235U and
241Pu, were directly measured at the experimental reactor of ILL (Grenoble) using the
EXILL&FATIMA spectrometer. The obtained lifetimes can be used for a more comprehensive analysis of the data available from the Coulex
experiment. Therefore, not only the B(E2) transition probability can be determined, but also the
quadrupole moments of the 2+ excited states, which are otherwise not accessible for short-lived
states. Thus, the evolution of quadrupole collectivity above Z=50 and N=82 is studied and the results are
compared with the predictions by several theoretical models.
