Neutron multiplicities, folding angle distribution, mass distribution, and mass-energy distribution are measured for the compound nucleus Po210 populated through the C12+Pt198 reaction at an excitation energy of 61.6 MeV. The measured neutron multiplicities are compared with the statistical model code joanne2 to extract total fission time for the Po210 compound nucleus. The total fission time (τtot) obtained for this system is (10±5)×10-21 s at 49 MeV and increases to (23±5)×10-21 at 61.8 MeV excitation energy indicating that dissipation increases with excitation energy. A comparison with τtot of the O18+Os192 reaction populating the same compound nucleus indicates the influence of entrance channel mass asymmetry on the fission time. Dynamical model calculations have been performed to understand the fusion dynamics for these reactions and it is observed that the formation time of the compound nucleus increases as we go from the asymmetric to the symmetric entrance channels. Also, these calculations predict that 93% of the total angular momentum lead to the formation of a fully equilibrated compound nucleus for the C12+Pt198 reaction whereas this percentage decreases to 84%, for the O18+Os192 reaction indicating a higher percentage of noncompound nuclear processes in the latter case. © 2023 American Physical Society.

Excited states in the 84Sr nucleus were investigated via the 76Ge(12C,4n)84Sr reaction at a beam energy of 58 MeV. The de-excited γ-rays were detected using the Indian National Gamma Array (INGA) spectrometer at Inter-University Accelerator Center, New Delhi. Directional Correlation from Oriented (DCO) states ratio and the polarization asymmetry (Δ) measurements were done to confirm the spin-parity of the low-lying states. Eight new γ-ray transitions were placed in the level scheme of 84Sr. The systematic behaviour of energy staggering S(I) of the γ-band (Band 1 and Band 2) was compared with the γ-bands in the mass A ≈ 80 region and the nuclei of other mass regions with similar behaviour (odd-I down). The E1 character is confirmed for strong γ-ray transitions connecting Band 3 to the Yrast band. Comparison of new results such as B(E1)/B(E2) ratio, frequency ratio ω −/ω + and energy displacement ΔE in 84Sr with those of 72Se, 150Sm, 152Gd, 220Ra and 224Th nuclei suggests the presence of octupole correlations in 84Sr. © 2023 IOP Publishing Ltd
