The analysis of compact astronomical objects has generally dealt with the physical
properties of the source within a two-parameter space, which is defined by the spectral …

This paper presents the characteristics of a new generation of composite germanium
detectors: the Clover detector. Its development was based on simulation calculations …

The application of a composite Ge detector to the measurement of the linear polarisation of γ-
rays has been investigated. The polarisation sensitivity of this device has been determined …

Positive parity bands in 112, 114, 116, 118Sn have been excited up to levels with spin and
parity Jπ= 12+ using Cd (α, 2nγ) Sn reactions. The experiments consisted of γ-ray excitation …

The high-spin states of Zr 88 and Zr 90 were studied up to∼ 12-MeV excitation via the 74,
76Ge (18 O, 4nγ) 8 8, 90Zr fusion evaporation reactions. Decay schemes were constructed …

Yrast states in 218Ra up to spin and parity Iπ= 17− were identifíed by means of the 208Pb
(13C, 3n) reaction and standard γ-ray spectroscopic techniques. The level scheme is …

Parities of nuclear levels excited in photon scattering experiments can be determined by
measurements of the linear polarization of the scattered photons. The needed theoretical …

A comprehensive systematic study is made for the collective β and γ bands in even-even
isotopes with neutron numbers N= 88 to 92 and proton numbers Z= 62 (Sm) to 70 (Yb). Data …

To detect and track structural changes in atomic nuclei, the systematic study of nuclear
levels with firm spin-parity assignments is important. While linear polarization measurements …

The exact nature of the lowest K π= 2+ rotational bands in all deformed nuclei remains
obscure. Traditionally they are assumed to be collective vibrations of the nuclear shape in …
