Investigation of nuclear collectivity in the neutron mid-shell nucleusPb186
For the first time, non-yrast structures of the neutron mid-shell nucleus $^{186}\mathrm{Pb}$ have been identified in an in-beam \ensuremath{\gamma}-ray spectroscopy measurement using the recoil-decay tagging technique. The yrast band has been tentatively extended up to ${I}^{\ensuremath{\pi}}=20{}^{+},$ revealing a similar backbend to that observed in the Pt and Hg isotones. Three new bands and several other transitions have been observed. Calculations carried out in the framework of the interacting boson model together with mean-field studies using the generator coordinate method provide arguments for the association of one of the new bands with an oblate shape. The present data also show…
Evidence for oblate structure inPb186
In-beam $\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\gamma}$ coincidence data have been collected for $^{186}\mathrm{Pb}$ by combining the JUROGAM Ge-detector array and the GREAT spectrometer with the RITU gas-filled recoil separator for recoil-decay tagging measurements. In addition to the known prolate yrast band in $^{186}\mathrm{Pb}$, these data have enabled a new low-lying side band to be identified. Based on the analysis of its decay pattern and comparison with Interacting Boson Model (IBM) calculations, the new band is associated with an oblate shape.
Identification of theg92proton and neutron band crossing in theN=ZnucleusSr76
High-spin states in $^{76}\mathrm{Sr}$ have been studied using Gammasphere plus Microball detector arrays. The known yrast band has been extended beyond the first band crossing, which involves the simultaneous alignment of pairs of ${\mathrm{g}}_{\frac{9}{2}}$ protons and neutrons, to a tentative spin of $24\ensuremath{\hbar}$. The data are compared with the results of cranked relativistic mean-field (CRMF) and cranked relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov (CRHB) calculations. The properties of the band, including the ${\mathrm{g}}_{\frac{9}{2}}$ proton/neutron band crossing frequency and moments of inertia, are found to be well reproduced by the CRHB calculations. Furthermore, the unpaired CRMF …
Deformation of rotational structures inKr73andRb74: Probing the additivity principle at triaxial shapes
Lifetimes have been deduced in the intermediate/high-spin range for the three known rotational bands in $^{73}\mathrm{Kr}$ and the $T=0$ band in $^{74}\mathrm{Rb}$ using the residual Doppler shift method. This has enabled relative transition quadrupole moments to be studied for the first time in triaxial nuclei as a function of spin. The data suggest that the additivity principle for transition quadrupole moments is violated, a result that is in disagreement with predictions from cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky and cranked relativistic mean-field theory calculations. The reasons for the discrepancy are not understood but may indicate that important correlations are missing from the models.
