INVESTIGATION OF γ-RAY EMISSION IN HEAVY ION INDUCED FISSION DURING THE CYCLOTRON BEAM-ON PERIODS.

The delayed coincidence method with special reference to the in-beam experiments is considered as a means of identification and the lifetime measurements of isomeric states, as well as, the method of the investigation of radiations populating isomeric states. Isomers are detected and correlated with prompt events if they occur within a certain time of the prompt event. The ¹⁶O +²⁰⁸Pb reaction was investigated using the OSIRIS-II and the EAGLE arrays at HIL-UW. About eighty nuclei were identified as fission fragments among the reaction products. Several known isomeric transitions associated with reaction products in neutron-rich nuclei region were detected, as well as some new candidates were observed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
