A spectral fitting routine was developed to analyze X-ray emissions in neutron capture decay
processes that produce ¹⁹⁷Hg and ¹⁹⁷Pt. Through correcting for X-ray emissions, the
77.3 keV γ gamma ray intensities were analyzed. The thermal cross sections for the production of
¹⁹⁷Hg and ¹⁹⁷Pt were found to be 2088...
Relative lifetimes, and the closely related quadrupole moments (Q[subscript]i values), of the
six superdeformed (SD) bands in ¹⁹³Hg and the yrast SD band in ¹⁹²Hg were determined
by a Doppler-shift attenuation method measurement. The experiment was performed
using the Gammasphere array and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's 88-inch
Cyclotron. The Q[subscript]i...
