Big Picture Student to present at national conference
posted by: Mashburn, Noelle B - MNPS   at Oct 12, 2011 11:10:00 AM

Nashville Big Picture High School senior Brayton D., will soon add national presenter to his resume. The 12th grader has spent the past two years interning with Dr. Joseph, Hamilton, Landon C. Garland Distinguished Professor of Physics at Vanderbilt University. Now, thanks to his hard work and commitment, Brayton will travel with the professor to Roanoke, Virg., to present at the Southeastern Section of the American Physical Society. Brayton's research has also become part of his Senior Capstone project, a requirement at Big Picture. Below is an abstract of his work:








New Levels in 162Gd


DOLL Brayton M. (NBPHS, Vanderbilt University)
BREWER, N.T. (Vanderbilt University)
HAMILTON, J. H. (Vanderbilt University)
RAMAYYA, A. V. (Vanderbilt University)
HWANG, J.K. (Vanderbilt University)
LUO, Y. X. (Vanderbilt University, LBNL)
RASMUSSEN, J. O. (LBNL)
ZHU, S. J. (Vanderbilt University, Tsinghua University)
TER-AKOPIAN, G. M. (JINR)

We’ve measured prompt gamma rays from the fission fragments of the spontaneous fission of 252Cf in Gammasphere. The data from the experiment have high statistics with 5.7*1011 triple and higher gamma coincidences. We examined levels in 162Gd in this data set which shows very consistent I(I+1) level spacing in the yrast band. This demonstrates consistency with a rotational nucleus that has a large quadrupole deformation. this is common for nuclei in between closed spherical shells. To find new levels and gamma transitions, we looked at triple coincidence gates in the Radware software in which we see population of yrast states up to 16+. We found new evidence for proposed collective bands in this isotope. Results will be discussed.
