AbstractAbstract
[en] An overview of many of the new insights extracted from γ,γ and γ-γ-γ coincidence studies of spontaneous fission of 252Cf and 242Up with large detector arrays at ORNL and Gammasphere will be presented. These include direct measurements of yields and neutron multiplicities from 0 to l0v for five correlated pairs, identification of a number of cold fission (cluster radioactivity) channels, identification of new structures and behaviors in many neutron-rich nuclei from 94Sr to 160Sm. From the yields of the correlated pairs, a new, second mode of SF is observed in the Mo-Ba pairs with much lower total kinetic energy. This mode goes via a hyperdeformed shape (3:1 axis ratio) for 144Ba, 145Ba, or 146Ba. Calculations indicate a third minima in 252Cf at Β3 ∼ 0.7 and Β2 ∼ 0.9. The zero neutron cluster radioactivity yields for odd-odd Mo-Ba pairs are about four times larger than for the even-even ones in agreement with recent cluster radioactivity predictions. Identical bands are observed in 98,100Sr, 108,110Ru, 144,146Ba, and 152,154Nd nuclei and new types of identical bands in 156,158,160Sm nuclei, and the first identical octupole bands. Octupole deformation is seen in N = 86, 142Ba, 144Ce and the new high spin octupole states to 19- exhibit the first backbending and quenching of the static octupole strength as predicted by theory. Selected examples of the new physics being seen will be presented
