Abstract:

⁷⁸ Ni is a doubly magic nucleus far from stability\, which was identiﬁed as an early “waiting point” for r-process nucleosynthesis. Recent measur ements indicate that decays of nuclei beyond N=50 can be understood as the decay of the ⁷⁸Ni core\, with the valence neutrons outside N=5 0 playing only a spectator role (Madurga et al.). In this experiment\, the focus was extended to also study the decay of nearby ⁷⁹Cu. The N=50 isotones near ⁷⁸Ni were studied for the ﬁrst time using total-absorption spectroscopy\, with the beta-decay strength distribution measured at the FRIB Decay Station initiator (FDSi). The experiment emplo yed the Modular Total Absorption Spectrometer (MTAS) to measure complete γ-ray cascades following decays to neutron-bound states in ⁷⁹C u. The isotopes were implanted at the second focal plane of the FDSi into a Yttrium Ortho-silicate(YSO) segmented scintillator detector system insid e the MTAS. An ion-beta correlation was performed on the collected isotope s\, and the optimal correlation radius was found to acquire the best signa l-to-background ratio. Further analysis will be performed using the Geant4 simulations to obtain the MTAS response functions. A complete deconvoluti on of MTAS spectra allows for the extraction of β-decay strength distribu tion for ⁷⁹Cu. The experimental ﬁndings will be compared with the nuclear shell models to study the evolution of the N=50 shell closure in the region.
