Discovery of New Isotopes 160Os and 156W: Revealing Enhanced Stability of the N=82 Shell Closure on the Neutron-Deficient Side
PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS(2024)
摘要
Using the fusion -evaporation reaction 106Cd(58Ni; 4n)160Os and the gas -filled recoil separator SHANS, two new isotopes 76160Os and 74156W have been identified. The alpha decay of 160Os, measured with an alpha-particle energy of 7080(26) keV and a half-life of 201-F58 -37 mu s, is assigned to originate from the ground state. The daughter nucleus 156W is a beta-F emitter with a half-life of 291-F86 -61 ms. The newly measured alpha-decay data allow us to derive alpha-decay reduced widths (52) for the N = 84 isotones up to osmium (Z = 76), which are found to decrease with increasing atomic number above Z = 68. The reduction of 52 is interpreted as evidence for the strengthening of the N = 82 shell closure toward the proton drip line, supported by the increase of the neutron -shell gaps predicted in theoretical models.
