Abstract

A program of nuclear structure studies to support fundamental symmetry tests has been initiated. Motivated by the search for an electric dipole moment in ¹⁹⁹Hg, the structure in the vicinity has been explored via direct reaction studies. To date, these have included the ^198,200Hg(d, d′) inelastic scattering reactions, with the aim to obtain information on the E2 and E3 strength distributions, and the ¹⁹⁸Hg(d, p) and ²⁰⁰Hg(d, t) reactions to obtain information on the single-particle states in ¹⁹⁹Hg. The studies using the ²⁰⁰Hg targets have been fully analyzed using the FRESCO reaction code yielding the E2 and E3 strength distribution to 4 MeV in excitation energy, and the (d, t) single- particle strength to over 3 MeV in excitation energy.
