Iacob, V. E.; Zhai, Y.; Al-Abdullah, T.; Fu, C.; Hardy, John C.; Nica, N.; Park, H. I.; Tabacaru, G.; Trache, L.; Tribble, Robert E. (American Physical Society, 2006)We present the first study of the beta decay of Al-23 undertaken with pure samples. The study was motivated by nuclear astrophysics questions. Pure samples of Al-23 were obtained from the momentum achromat recoil separator ...

Iacob, V. E.; Hardy, John C.; Gagliardi, Carl A.; Goodwin, J.; Nica, N.; Park, H. I.; Tabacaru, G.; Trache, L.; Tribble, Robert E.; Zhai, Y.; Towner, I. S. (American Physical Society, 2006)We have measured the beta-decay branching ratio for the transition from Na-21 to the first excited state of Ne-21. A recently published test of the standard model, which was based on a measurement of the beta-nu correlation ...

Saastamoinen, A.; Trache, L.; Banu, A.; Bentley, M. A.; Davinson, T.; Hardy, John C.; Iacob, V. E.; McCleskey, M.; Roeder, B. T.; Simmons, E.; Tabacaru, G.; Tribble, Robert E.; Woods, P. J.; Aysto, J. (American Physical Society, 2011)The beta-delayed gamma and proton decay of (23)Al has been studied with an alternative detector setup at the focal plane of the momentum achromat recoil separator MARS at Texas AandM University. We could detect protons ...

Nica, N.; Hardy, John C.; Iacob, V. E.; Goodwin, J.; Balonek, C.; Hernberg, M.; Nolan, J.; Trzhaskovskaya, M. B. (American Physical Society, 2009)We have measured the K-shell internal conversion coefficient, alpha(K), for the 346.5-keV M4 transition in (197)Pt to be 4.23(7). This result differs from a previous value, which disagreed significantly from theory. Our ...

Goodwin, J. R.; Golovko, V. V.; Iacob, V. E.; Hardy, John C. (American Physical Society, 2009)We have measured the half-life of the electron-capture (ec) decay of (97)Ru in a metallic environment, both at low temperature (19 K), and also at room temperature. We find the half-lives at both temperatures to be the ...

Nica, N.; Hardy, John C.; Iacob, V. E.; Balonek, C.; Trzhaskovskaya, M. B. (American Physical Society, 2008)Recently we measured the ratio of K-shell internal conversion coefficients, alpha(K), for the 127.5-keV E3 transition in (134)Cs and the 661.7-keV M4 transition in (137)Ba. We here report a measurement of the 165.9-keV M1 ...

Goodwin, J. R.; Nica, N.; Iacob, V. E.; Dibidad, A.; Hardy, John C. (American Physical Society, 2010)We have measured the half-life of the beta(-) decay of (198)Au to be 2.6948(9)d, with the nuclide sited in an insulating environment. Comparing this result with the half-life we measured previously with a metallic environment, ...

Iacob, V. E.; Hardy, John C.; Golovko, V.; Goodwin, J.; Nica, N.; Park, H. I.; Trache, L.; Tribble, Robert E. (American Physical Society, 2008)The half-life of (10)C has been measured to be 19.310(4) s, a result with 0.02% precision, which is a factor of three improvement over the best previous result. Since (10)C is the lightest superallowed 0(+)-> 0(+) beta(+) ...

Iacob, V. E.; Hardy, John C.; Banu, A.; Chen, L.; Golovko, V. V.; Goodwin, J.; Horvat, V.; Nica, N.; Park, H. I.; Trache, L.; Tribble, Robert E. (American Physical Society, 2010)We measured the half-life of the superallowed 0(+) -> 0(+) beta(+) emitter (26)Si to be 2245.3(7) ms. We used pure sources of (26)Si and employed a high-efficiency gas counter, whichwas sensitive to positrons from both ...

Ball, G. C.; Boisvert, G.; Bricault, P.; Churchman, R.; Dombsky, M.; Lindner, T.; Macdonald, J. A.; Vandervoort, E.; Bishop, S.; D'Auria, J. M.; Hardy, John C.; Iacob, V. E.; Leslie, J. R.; Mak, H. -B. (American Physical Society, 2010)The half-life of (38)K(m) has been measured to be 924.46(14) ms, a result that is a factor of two more precise than any of the five previous measurements of this quantity. The previous results are not consistent with one ...

Iacob, V. E.; Hardy, John C.; Brinkley, J. F.; Gagliardi, Carl A.; Mayes, V. E.; Nica, N.; Sanchez-Vega, M.; Tabacaru, G.; Trache, L.; Tribble, Robert E. (American Physical Society, 2006)To contribute meaningfully to any test of the unitarity of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix, the measured ft value of a superallowed 0(+)-> 0(+) beta(+) transition must be obtained to a precision of 0.1% or better. ...

Nica, N.; Hardy, John C.; Iacob, V. E.; Rockwell, W. E.; Trzhaskovskaya, M. B. (American Physical Society, 2007)We have measured the ratio of K-shell internal conversion coefficients, alpha(K), for the 127.5-keV E3 transition in Cs-134 and the 661.7-keV M4 transition in Ba-137. Previous measurements of these alpha(K) values led to ...
