Abstract

The excited states of the neutron-rich nucleus 140I were, for the first time, investigated by a β-delayed γ-ray spectroscopy. The parent nuclide 140Te was produced through the in-flight fission of the 238U beam at 345 MeV per nucleon on a 9Be target at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF), RIKEN in Japan. The half-life of 140Te was measured to be 350(5) ms and the spin-parity of ground state of 140I was found to be 2-. The spin-parities of three levels at 926, 1188, and 1787 keV were assigned as 1+ based on log f t values. These allowed Gamow-Teller (G-T) transition-states could be interpreted as the transformation of a neutron in the h9/2 orbital into a proton in the h11/2 orbital. Systematic features of level structures and G-T transitions are discussed in the frameworks of the large-scale shell model and deformed shell model.
