The spherical 02+ intruder state of 70Ge becomes the 01

+ state of 72,74,76Ge and vice versa. This may be due to the appearance of

an effect of high spin orbit (1g9/2).

Shape phase transition in Xe isotopes

124-130Xe can be considered to be

-unstable nuclei because of the

similarity in excitation energies of

O(6) nuclei.

A E(5) critical point can exist

same where -unstable nuclei

become spherical nuclei.

Encountered problems in analysis with GOSIA

1. OP, INT (Integration)

Recoiled target detection in inverse kinematics.

2. GOSIA-2

GOSIA-2 was also used for fitting 27Al and 132Xe data, but we do not obtain 2-minimum with reasonal MEs, yet. (It seems to take some time to learn.)

3. Finding 2 minimum

Some of MEs are not sensitive to 2.

Such MEs sometimes disturb 2-minimum finding procedure.

4. Visualization, GUI

We sometimes make mistakes when we making input files.

GUI or some tool would be helpful.

4. Summary

Summary* Coulomb excitation experiments at JAEA have been introduced.

* Some of our studies were given:

- Ge: Shape coexistence, and shape exchange

between the 0+ states in the increase of

neutron numbers are found.

- Zn: The 02+ states are probably effected by the

1g9/2 orbit.

- 132Xe: Analysis is in progress.

* One of our future plan with an RI beam facility

was shown.

Some problems encountered in analysis were also shown.

終わり

・Small solid angle

=> Small Doppler shift

・High detection efficiency

25-70% Ge detectors

(relative to 3" NaI scintillation detector)

=> total efficiency is about 1.2%

・Low background

=> high peak to Compton ratio are

realized with the BGOACS
