Study of radiative decay of the nucleus using a technic like Oslo-method

Corpuscular physics and outer space Nuclear physics

Abstract

Radiative neutron capture is a nuclear reaction forming a compound nucleus which decays by emitting gamma-rays at excitation energy around the neutron binding energy. This well-known reaction which we known how to accurately measure its cross section at low incident neutron energies for most stable and few unstable nuclei close the stability valley, remains difficult to measure for exotic nuclei like fission fragments. Nuclear reaction models based essentially on stable nuclei, also struggle to provide reliable predictions of cross sections for these exotic nuclei. However, in the recent years, progress made related to the models and the measurements for the radiative capture show that significant improvements in including microscopic ingredients studies. These micoscopic ingredients: gamma strength function and nuclear level density, remain accesible to the experiment. These ingredients which respectively manage the way of how the gamma cascade occurs and the nuclear structure at high excitation energy can also be measured and calculated to be compared and suggest ways to improve the predictability of models. This kind of improvements have a direct impact for instance on the cross sections for these exotic nuclei which are produced in the stellar nucleosynthesis. The subject of thie thesis is to measure these quantities for a nucleus involved in the nucleosythesis using a new setup called SFyNCS.
