Title: Single proton structure of /sup 193,195,197/Ir and perturbed spin(6) symmetry

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)

The /sup 194,196,198/Pt (t,..cap alpha..) /sup 193,195,197/Ir reactions have been studied with a 17 MeV polarized triton beam. Based on the measured angular distributions of cross sections and analyzing powers, several new I/sup ..pi../ assignments were made in /sup 195/Ir and new levels were identified in /sup 197/Ir. The change in the distribution of d/sub 3/2/ spectroscopic strength as a function of neutron number is observed to be quite dramatic. Two large fragments are observed in /sup 193/Ir, all of the d/sub 3/2/ strength is concentrated in the ground state of /sup 197/Ir, and /sup 195/Ir shows a situation intermediate between these two. The empirical d/sub 3/2/ strength in /sup 193/Ir is well reproduced by the predictions of the U(6/4) supersymmetry proposed for the Os-Ir-Pt nuclei. The change in the d/sub 3/2/ strength as a function of neutron number is well reproduced by a perturbation of this symmetry.
