“…The present work represents one step toward addressing these problems and parts of the 27 S decay scheme still remain elusive. It would be great to perform independent experiments with higher statistics to approach a complete 27 S decay spectroscopy with even forbidden β-decay transitions observed [40,124].…”

Background Beta-decay spectroscopy provides valuable nuclear physics input for thermonuclear reaction rates of astrophysical interest and stringent test for shell-model theories far from the stability line.Purpose The available decay properties of proton drip-line nucleus 27 S are insufficient to constrain the properties of the key resonance in 26 Si(p, γ) 27 P reaction rate and probe the possible mirror asymmetry. The decay scheme of 27 S is complicated and far from being understood, which has motivated but also presented substantial challenges for our experiment.Method The 27 S ions were implanted into a double-sided silicon strip detector array surrounded by the high-purity germanium detectors, where the β-delayed protons and γ rays were measured simultaneously. ResultsThe precise half-life of 27 S, the excitation energies, β-feeding intensities, log f t values, and B(GT) values for the states of 27 P populated in the β decay of 27 S are determined. The improved spectroscopic properties including are compared to the mirror β decay of 27 Na and to the shell-model calculations using the recently-developed USD * interaction. The present work has expanded greatly on the previously established decay scheme of 27 S. ConclusionsThe precise mass excess of 27 P, the energy and the ratio between γ and proton partial widths of the 3/2 + resonance were obtained, thereby determining the 26 Si(p, γ) 27 P reaction rate based mainly on experimental constraints. The first experimental evidence for the observation of mirror asymmetries for the transitions in the decays of 27 S and 27 Na is also provided. The shell-model calculations with the Hamiltonians including the modifications on single-particle energies and two-body matrix elements related to the proton 1s 1/2 orbit give a better description of the spectroscopic properties.

Background: β-decay spectroscopy provides valuable information on exotic nuclei and a stringent test for nuclear theories beyond the stability line. Purpose: To search for new β-delayed protons and γ rays of 25 Si to investigate the properties of 25 Al excited states. Method: 25 Si β decays were measured by using the Gaseous Detector with Germanium Tagging system at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. The protons and γ rays emitted in the decay were detected simultaneously. A Monte Carlo method was used to model the Doppler broadening of 24 Mg γ-ray lines caused by nuclear recoil from proton emission. Shell-model calculations using two newly-developed sd-shell Hamiltonians, USDC and USDI, were performed. Results: The most precise 25 Si half-life to date has been determined. A new proton branch at 724(4) keV and new proton-γ-ray coincidences have been identified. Three 24 Mg γ-ray lines and eight 25 Al γ-ray lines are observed for the first time in 25 Si decay. The first measurement of the 25 Si β-delayed γ ray intensities through the 25 Al unbound states is reported. All the bound states of 25 Al are observed to be populated in the β decay of 25 Si. Several inconsistencies between the previous measurements have been resolved, and new information on the 25 Al level scheme is provided. An enhanced decay scheme has been constructed and compared to the mirror decay of 25 Na and the shell-model calculations. Conclusions: The measured excitation energies, γ-ray and proton branchings, log f t values, and Gamow-Teller transition strengths for the states of 25 Al populated in the β decay of 25 Si are in good agreement with the shell model calculations, offering gratifyingly consistent insights into the fine nuclear structure of 25 Al.
