1 First Results from GRIFFIN Half-lives of Neutron Rich Cd and 131 In! Ryan Dunlop Physics Dept. University of Guelph, Canada INPC 2016

2 r-process High n density! fast capturing! x! Produces many of the! naturally occurring,! heavy, neutron-rich! nuclei! Site of r-process! Neutron star mergers! Core-collapse Supernovae?!

3 r-process Waiting-point approximation assumes:!! (n,γ) (γ,n) equilibrium within isotopic chain! β-flow equilibrium! Flow rate (and equilibrium population) is characteristic of waiting-point half-lives!! Q(γ,n) small at closed n-shells, these nuclei are waiting points and r-process moves along them towards stability.!

4 r-process Freeze-out! r-process peaks:! 1st peak: A 80 N=50! 2nd peak: A 130 N=82! 3rd peak: A 195 N=126! rare earth peak A 165?!

5 Sensitivity of r-process rate to 130 Cd decay rate!! 130 Cd is responsible for the maximum of second r- abundance peak at N=82 Shell-model calculations for the half-lives of N=82 waiting point nuclei use a quenched GT operator that reproduces the 130 Cd half-life. Recent measurement at RIKEN by Lorusso et al. shortens half life by > 5σ. New: 127(2) ms Old: 162(7) ms Half Lives (ms) N=82! Exp! Shell Model! Z!

17 Summary! The GRIFFIN spectrometer is on-line at TRIUMF-ISAC allowing for the study of rare isotopes beams with low production yields! The recent discrepant half-life measurements of 129 Cd and 130 Cd have been confirmed.! The new half-life of 130 Cd resolves the problem of systematically short theoretical calculations of the half-life by providing a new Gamow-Teller quenching factor.! A new theoretical outlier, 131 In, exists with a half-life that is 40% too large. An analysis of the decay of 131 In is underway in conjunction with an analysis of the decay of 131 Cd in order to understand this discrepancy.!
