Production of isomers around <sup>52</sup>Fe nucleus via projectile fragmentation
ORAL
Abstract
Nucleosynthesis heavier than iron in the supernova explosion is one of the attractive topics. Electron capture rates of nuclei near iron are inputs for network calculation. The electron capture rate above beta-decay threshold can be estimated from the strength distribution of the charge exchange reactions.Nuclei in high temperature circumstances may be in excited state, and then the information of charge exchange reaction from excited state is desired.
One possible way to perform the reaction study on excited state is to measure the reactions of isomer beams in inverse kinematics. 52Fe(12+) at Ex=7 MeV is a good candidate around iron nuclei. We measured the isomer ratio ,aiming to clarify the production mechanism of isomer via projectile fragmentation .
Experiments were performed at HIMAC. The isomer ratio around 52Fe are measured by using projectile fragmentation from 58Ni(0+),59Co(7/2-) and 82Kr(0+) at 350MeV/u with changing longitudinal momentum transfer, transverse momentum transfer and incident nucleus. To obtain the transverse momentum dependence the incident beam angle to the target was changed. The typical isomer ratio of 52Fe is larger than 5 %.
The results on the isomer ratio around Fe will be presented.
