Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this research is determination of spins and parities of excited levels in short-lived beta-decaying nuclei by means of gamma-ray linear polarization measurements. In the first stage, we searched the optimum geometrical condition using standard radioactive sources of Co-60, Cs-134 and Eu-152. The best sensitivity was obtained when detectors were placed at 10cm from the source position. Next, we performed an on-line experiment for La-146 (half-life of 6 s) at KUR-ISOL (Kyoto University Reactor, Isotope Separator On-Line). In this experiment, we observed asymmetry of Compton scattering events. This means that gamma-ray linear polarization was found for short-lived nuclei.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

大型のクローバ検出器等を使い,その配置を最適化することで,短寿命の不安定原子核から放出されるγ線に対して直線偏光度の測定が可能であることを実証した.このことにより,不安定核の原子核構造を議論する際に不可欠な励起準位のスピン・パリティを実験的に決定できる.
