Excitation function of 54 Fe(p, α ) 51 Mn from 9.5 MeV to 18 MeV

Excitation function of the 54 Fe(p,α) 51 Mn reaction was measured from 9.5 to 18 MeV $E_{0,p^+}$ by activating a foil stack of 54 Fe electrodeposited on copper substrates. Residual radionuclides were quantified by HPGe gamma ray spectrometry. Both 51 Mn ($t_{1/2}$ = 46.2 min, $\langle E_{β^+}\rangle$=963.7keV, $I_{β^+}$ = 97%; $E_γ$ = 749.1keV, $I_γ$ = 0.265%) and its radioactive daughter, 51 Cr ($t_{1/2}$ = 27.704d, $E_γ$ = 320.1 keV, $I_γ$ = 9.91%), were used to indirectly quantify formation of 51 Mn. Results agree within uncertainty to the only other measurement in literature and predictions of default TALYS theoretical code. Final relative uncertainties are within ±12%.

Pu-240 Target Preparation on Thin Backing Foils for GRETINA Experiments using ATLAS

Recent measurements of the octupole strength to the highest spin states in Pu-240 were performed using sub-barrier Coulomb excitation in order to unambiguously and convincingly demonstrate the existence of the rotational-aligned phonon condensation in this nucleus. The Pu-240 targets were prepared at the Center for Accelerator Target Science by molecular plating onto thin backing foils of C and Al. The required plutonium oxide dissolution, molecular plating methodology, plating results, and in-beam target performance will be discussed.
