New procedures for analyzing Doppler-shift attenuation lifetime measurements

Extending the application of DSAM to atypical stopping media

“…The uncertainty (probably) does not include that from the stopping power which was calculated [35,36] using the formalism by Ziegler [37] and can be as high as 10-15%. 4 Measurement by Kozub et al [27]. The uncertainty includes that from the stopping power which was adopted from the experimental electronic stopping power data by Forster et al [38] with uncertainty ∼ 5%.…”

“…The Doppler Shift Attenuation Method (DSAM) is one that is adopted for measurement of level lifetimes in the range of ∼ few tens of fs (10 −15 s) to ∼ few ps (10 −12 s) and is widely used in nuclear structure investigations. Several efforts dedicated to different developments [2][3][4] in the context of this method have been carried out in the last few decades.…”
