Title:
Neutron Halo Isomers in Stable Nuclei and Their Possible Application for the Production of Low Energy, Pulsed, Polarized Neutron Beams of High Intensity and High Brilliance
Abstract:
We propose to search for neutron halo isomers populated via $\gamma$-capture in stable nuclei with mass numbers of about A=140\textendash{}180 or A=40\textendash{}60, where the 4s 1/2 or 3s 1/2 neutron shell model state reaches zero binding energy. These halo nuclei can be produced for the first time with new $\gamma$-beams of high intensity and small band width ($\leq$0.1%) achievable via Compton back-scattering off brilliant electron beams, thus offering a promising perspective to selectively...    »
