Impact of UC2, UC, UBC and UB2 target compositions on the release of fission products

The release properties of 4 targets (UC2, UC, UBC, UB2) were measured for 11 elements (Kr, Sr, Ru, Sn, Sb, Te, I, Cs, Ba, La, and Ce) using an off-line technique. The crystal packing fraction and the size of the studied element play a key role in the release process. However, physicochemical properties are also involved, notably melting and boiling points in vacuum and the minimal oxidation state. Principal component analysis was used to investigate the interrelationships between the physicochemical properties of fission products (from Fe to Dy) and the observed releases, thereby enabling predictions to be made about the release properties of the four crystallic configurations for elements that are inaccessible in off-line experiments.

Seniority scenario for the 68-72Zn and 66-68Ni B(E2)^ difference

The very simple product of the number of particles by the number of holes appearing in the expression of the reduced B(E2: 0+1 -> 2+1) (B(E2)^) transition probability of even-even nuclei obtained from the extension of the seniority scheme is used to analyze in a same time the experimental B(E2)^ values of 56-68 Ni and those of 62-72Zn. The evolution of these B(E2)^ values with neutron number fits in with a scenario involving p-n interaction.

Probing the shell valence structure underlying the B(E2: 0+->2+) for N,Z~40: preponderance of the p-n interaction over the sub-shell closures

The very simple product of the number of particles by the number of holes appearing in the expression of the reduced B(E2:0+->2+) transition probability of even-even nuclei obtained from the extension of the seniority scheme is used to analyze the experimental B(E2:0+->2+) values in the Cr up to Se isotopes. A new interpretation is given to the B(E2:0+->2+) measured in 68Ni and 70Zn. The B(E2:0+->2+) features of the even-even nuclei between Ni and Se with neutron number ranging from 28 up to 50 fit in with a global scenario involving p-n interaction. The evolution of the B(E2:0+->2+) curves presenting very large values is amazingly reproduced by very schematic binomial calculations.
