Decay of the r-process waiting-point nuclide ^130Cd to levels of ^130In.
Abstract
The β and γ radiations following the decay of the r-process waiting-point nuclide, ^130Cd to levels of ^130In have been studied at CERN/ISOLDE. The 165-ms ^130Cd nuclides were selectively ionized using the Resonance Ionization Laser Ion Source. The 1^+ level populated in Gamow-Teller β decay was found to lie at 2120 keV, well above the 1400-keV region suggested in several theoretical calculations. The structure of ^130In revealed in this measurement will be discussed. Astrophysical implications have been discussed by Wöhr et al..
