Enhanced low-energy γ-decay strength of Ni70 and its robustness within the shell model

Abstract: Neutron-capture reactions on very neutron-rich nuclei are essential for heavy-element nucleosynthesis through the rapid neutron-capture process, now shown to take place in neutron-star merger events. For these exotic nuclei, radiative neutron capture is extremely sensitive to their γ-emission probability at very low γ energies. In this work, we present measurements of the γ-decay strength of 70 Ni over the wide range 1.3 ≤ E γ ≤ 8 MeV. A significant enhancement is found in the γ-decay strength for transitions … Show more

“…The shell-model calculations clearly support an assertion of M 1 character for the low-energy upbend, in accordance with other recent shell-model work [89][90][91][92][93]. In the case of 56,57 Fe, there is experimental evidence that the upbend is dominated by dipole transitions [46,94].…”

“…The experimental and theoretical studies of multipole pygmy-and giant resonances, especially pygmy-dipole resonance (for simplicity, hereinafter PDR and GMR), continue to draw much attention, see reviews [1][2][3][4][5]. For PDR , it is explained by the new experimental possibilities [3,6,7], for example, polarized proton inelastic scattering at very forward angles [6], the existence of many new and delicate physical effects in this energy region, like irrotational and vortical kind of motion [2,8] and the upbend phenomenon for the photon strength function in the energy region of 1-3 MeV [7]. Besides, as it turned out, it is impossible to explain completely, with the account of phonon coupling (PC), the observed PDR fine structure, even in the nucleus 208 Pb, within both nonself-consistent [9] and self-consistent [10] approaches.…”

“…In 70 Co, the ground state has been predicted to be the shorter-living high-spin state with spin and parity (6 − , 7 − ) and T 1/2 = 112(7) ms, studied in many fragmentation experiments [33,[47][48][49]. Recently, a β-decay study of 70 Fe [50] and Monte Carlo shell-model calculations based on the A3DA Hamiltonian [51] suggest the ground state of 70 Co to be a (1 + , 2 + ) state with T 1/2 = 508(7) ms.…”
