Beschreibung

The nuclear structure of neutron-rich actinide 248Cf was investigated at the Tokai Tandem Accelerator Laboratory of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency. This isotopes lies two neutrons and two protons below the generally accepted Z=100 and N=152 deformed shell gaps, but recently the location of these gaps has been heavily debated and Z=98 has also been suggested. 248Cf was produced using the 249Cf(18O,19O)248Cf neutron-removal reaction. The γ rays emitted by 248Cf were detected using a composite array of Ge detectors and LaBr3 scintillators. Two isomeric states with half-lives in the nanosecond range were found among low-lying excited states. The first, with t1/25 ns, is the previously known band-head of the Kπ=2 octuple vibrational band at 592 keV. The second, with t1/211 ns, is a new state which decays via a low-energy E1 transition to a much longer-lived state lying below 1 MeV of excitation. It will be shown how the observation of these low-lying isomeric states favors Z=100 over Z=98 for the location of the deformed proton shell gap also in 248Cf.
