Abstract

The combined data of two Coulomb excitation experiments has verified the purely electromagnetic population of the K{sup {pi}}=4{sup +},6{sup +},8{sup -}, and 16{sup +} rotational bands in {sup 178}Hf via 2{<=}{nu}{<=}14 K-forbidden transitions, quantifying the breakdown of the K-selection rule with increasing spin in the low-K bands. The {gamma}-, 4{sup +}, and 6{sup +} bands were extended, and four new states in a rotational band were tentatively assigned to a previously known K{sup {pi}}=0{sup +} band. The quasiparticle structure of the 6{sup +} (t{sub (1/2)}=77 ns) and 8{sup -} (t{sub (1/2)}=4 s) isomer bands were evaluated, showing that the gyromagnetic ratios of the 6{sup +} isomer band are consistent with a pure {pi}(7/2){sup +}[404],{pi}(5/2){sup +}[402] structure. The 8{sup -} isomer band at 1147 keV and the second 8{sup -} band at 1479 keV, thought to be predominantly {nu}(7/2){sup -}[514],{nu}(9/2){sup +}[624] and {pi}(9/2){sup -}[514],{pi}(7/2){sup +}[404], respectively, are mixed to a degree approaching the strong-mixing limit. Based on measured <K{sup {pi}}=16{sup +} parallel E 2 parallel K{sup {pi}}=0{sup +}> matrix elements, it was shown that heavy-ion bombardment could depopulate the 16{sup +} isomer at the {approx}1% level, although no states were found that would mediate photodeexcitation of the isomer via low-energy x-raymore » absorption.« less

Journal Article Govor, L. I. ; Demidov, A. M. ; Kurkin, V. A., E-mail: kurkin@polyn.kiae.su ; ... - Physics of Atomic Nuclei

The results obtained by studying the angular distributions of gamma rays with respect to the neutron-beam axis in the reaction {sup 178}Hf(n, n'{gamma}) involving the deexcitation of the K{sup {pi}} = 0{sup +} rotational bands of {sup 178}Hf are presented.New information about themultipole-mixing parameter {delta} in gamma transitions from the levels of these bands is obtained. The K{sup {pi}} = 0{sub 4}{sup +} band is constructed anew. The relationship between the parameter {delta} for the (2{sup +}0{sub n}-2{sup +}0{sub 1}) gamma transition and the energy gap {Delta}{sub n} = E{sub lev}(2{sup +}0{sub n}) - E{sub lev}(0{sup +}0{sub n}), on onemore »« less

Weak K hindrance manifested in {alpha} decay of the {sup 178}Hf{sup m2} isomer

Journal Article Karamian, S. A. ; Iliev, S. ; Tretyakova, S. P. ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

An experiment has been performed to detect the {alpha} emission mode in {sup 178}Hf{sup m2} isomer decay and a partial half-life of (2.5{+-}0.5)x10{sup 10}y was measured. It was concluded that {alpha} decay is strongly retarded by the centrifugal barrier arising due to the high spin of this isomeric state. Additional analysis shows, however, that the K-hindrance in this {alpha} decay is relatively weak, despite the strong manifestation of spin-hindrance.
