“…The Fourier transform of the signal from the pickup yields a noise-power density spectrum, or "Schottky frequency spectrum." In this experiment the 30th harmonic revolution frequency was analyzed [15,34]. The choice of the harmonic number is defined by the resonant circuit system which can be operated at 30 or 60 MHz [35].…”

“…Nevertheless, with the experimental storage ring (ESR) it is now feasible to directly observe an isomer without necessarily detecting its decay [14]. The ESR enables observation of single ions, allowing measurements to be performed despite very low production cross sections [15], with the ability to measure excitation energies of states with half-lives greater than 1 s. This experimental technique can thus be used to complement the well established γ -ray methods.…”

A study of neutron-rich isotopes in the A = 185 region of the nuclear chart has uncovered long-lived (>1 s) isomers in several isotopes of hafnium, tantalum, tungsten, rhenium, and osmium. The region was accessed via the use of projectile fragmentation with the UNILAC-SIS accelerators at GSI. Fragmentation products of 197 Au were passed through the fragment separator (FRS) and injected into the experimental storage ring (ESR), where single-ion identifications could be made. Evidence is presented for isomers in 183,184,186 Hf, 186,187 Ta, 186 W, 190,192,194 Re, and 195 Os with excitation energies in the range of 0.1-3.0 MeV. The lightest of these nuclides have well deformed prolate shapes, while the heaviest are transitional and susceptible to shape changes. Their properties are interpreted with the help of multi-quasiparticle and potential-energy-surface calculations.

“…In order to determine the unknown mass-over-charge ratios, the Schottky frequency spectra have to be calibrated [19,24]. For this purpose we selected the nuclides which were identified in our spectra and for which masses are known experimentally according to the Atomic-Mass Evaluation 2003 (AME) [28].…”

“…The pick-up signal was down-mixed using a ∼60 MHz reference frequency from an external frequency generator. The acceptance of the ESR at the 30 th harmonic corresponds to about 320 kHz [23,24]. Therefore, to cover the entire ESR acceptance we digitized the signal with a sampling frequency of 640 kHz using a commercial 16-bit ADC [25].…”

Storage-ring mass spectrometry was applied to neutron-rich 197 Au projectile fragments. Masses of 181,183 Lu, 185,186 Hf, 187,188 Ta, 191 W, and 192,193 Re nuclei were measured for the first time. The uncertainty of previously known masses of 189,190 W and 195 Os nuclei was improved. Observed irregularities on the smooth two-neutron separation energies for Hf and W isotopes are linked to the collectivity phenomena in the corresponding nuclei.
