We analyze the shape of the correlation functions through the assumption of L'evy sources and a proper treatment of the Coulomb interaction within the triplets. We measure the three-particle correlation strength ($lambda_3$), which, together with the two-particle correlation strength $lambda_2$, encodes information about hadron creation mechanisms. From a consistent analysis of two- and three-particle correlation strength we establish a new experimental measure of thermalization and coherence in the source.","PeriodicalId":8464,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Nuclear Experiment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82052617","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experimental discrepancies exist in the data for less exotic systems. In $^{86}$Kr the $B(E2;2^+_1rightarrow0^+_1)$ value - a key indicator of shell evolution - has been experimentally determined by two different methodologies, with the results deviating by $3sigma$. Here, we report on a new high-precision measurement of this value, as well as the first measured lifetimes and hence transition strengths for the $2^+_2$ and $3^-_{(2)}$ states in the nucleus. The Doppler-shift attenuation method was implemented using the TIGRESS gamma-ray spectrometer and TIGRESS integrated plunger (TIP) device. High-statistics Monte-Carlo simulations were utilized to extract lifetimes in accordance with state-of-the-art methodologies. Lifetimes of $tau(2^+_1)=336pm4text{(stat.)}pm20text{(sys.)}$ fs, $tau(2^+_2)=263pm9text{(stat.)}pm19text{(sys.)}$ fs and $tau(3^-_{(2)})=73pm6text{(stat.)}pm32text{(sys.)}$ fs were extracted. This yields a transition strength for the first-excited state of $B(E2;2^+_1rightarrow0^+)=259pm3text{(stat.)}pm16text{(sys.)}$ e$^2$fm$^4$. The measured lifetime disagrees with the previous Doppler-shift attenuation method measurement by more than $3sigma$, while agreeing well with a previous value extracted from Coulomb excitation.
