Intruder bands in ({ital Z}=53) {sup 113}I: Band termination interpretation
- Department of Physics, State University of New York at Stony Brook, Stony Brook, New York 11794 (United States)
High spin states in {sup 113}I were studied with the {sup 58}Ni({sup 58}Ni, 3{ital p}{gamma}) reaction at 240 MeV, using the EUROGAM array in Daresbury, United Kingdom, with 45 Ge detectors. A total of five deformed intruder bands extending to spins {ital I} ranging from (73/2--89/2){h_bar} have been identified, all of which reach frequencies {h_bar}{omega}{gt}1.0 MeV and excitation energies {similar_to}25 MeV. A gradual dropoff of the dynamic moment of inertia {ital scrI}{sup (2)} with increasing rotational frequency has been observed and attributed to a mode of ``soft`` band termination involving valence particle alignment. In this process, the nucleus progresses gradually, over many transitions, towards a noncollective oblate ({gamma}=+60{degree}) band terminating state.
