Abstract

High-spin states in {sup 160,161}Tm were populated using the {sup 128}Te({sup 37}Cl, 5n and 4n) reactions at a beam energy of 170 MeV. Emitted {gamma} rays were detected in the Gammasphere spectrometer. Two rotational bands with high moments of inertia were discovered, one assigned to {sup 160}Tm, while the other tentatively assigned to {sup 161}Tm. These sequences display features similar to bands observed in neighboring Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu nuclei which have been discussed in terms of triaxial strongly deformed structures. Cranked Nilsson Strutinsky calculations have been performed that predict well-deformed triaxial shapes at high spin in {sup 160,161}Tm.

Ultrahigh-spin spectroscopy of {sup 159,160}Er: Observation of triaxial strongly deformed structures

Journal Article Ollier, J ; Simpson, J ; Wang, X ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

Three weakly populated high-spin rotational bands associated with the {gamma} decay of {sup 159}Er and {sup 160}Er were observed in fusion-evaporation reactions involving a beam of {sup 48}Ca at an energy of 215 MeV incident on a {sup 116}Cd target. The {gamma} decays were detected using the highly efficient Gammasphere spectrometer. The discovery of these bands, which extend discrete-line spectroscopy in these nuclei to ultrahigh spin of {approx}60({Dirac_h}/2{pi}), is consistent with recent observations of high-spin collective structures in isotopes of Er, Yb, and Tm around N=90. Cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations suggest that these bands may arise from well-deformed triaxial configurations withmore »« less

New shape minimum in {sup 160}Yb: Evidence for a triaxial, strongly deformed band

Journal Article Aguilar, A ; Campbell, D B ; Chandler, K ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

A high-spin rotational band was observed in the N=90 nucleus {sup 160}Yb with moment of inertia and decay characteristics very similar to recently discovered sequences in {sup 157,158}Er. These latter structures were discussed in terms of strongly deformed triaxial bands. Detailed cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations were performed that predict that well-deformed triaxial structures are also expected at high spin in {sup 160}Yb. Within this interpretation the observed discontinuity in the dynamic moment of inertia around ({Dirac_h}/2{pi}){omega}=0.40-0.45 MeV can be explained as a crossing between i{sub 13/2} neutron levels.

Evidence for octupole vibration in the triaxial superdeformed well of {sup 164}Lu

Journal Article Bringel, P ; Engelhardt, C ; Huebel, H ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

High-spin states in {sup 164}Lu were populated in the {sup 121}Sb({sup 48}Ca,5n) reaction at 215 MeV and {gamma}-ray coincidences were measured with the Gammasphere spectrometer. Through this experiment the eight known triaxial superdeformed bands in {sup 164}Lu could be confirmed. Some of these bands were extended to higher as well as to lower spins. Evidence is reported for the first time for weak {delta}I=1,E1 transitions linking TSD3 and TSD1. This observation may imply coupling to octupole vibrational degrees of freedom. The decay mechanism is different from the one observed in the neighboring even-N isotopes, which exhibit wobbling excitations built onmore »« less

Triaxiality and Exotic Rotations at High Spins in ¹³⁴Ce

Journal Article Petrache, C. M. ; Guo, S. ; Ayangeakaa, A. D. ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

High-spin states in Ce-134 have been investigated using the Cd-116(Ne-22,4n) reaction and the Gammasphere array. The level scheme has been extended to an excitation energy of similar to 30 MeV and spin similar to 54 (h) over bar. Two new dipole bands and four new sequences of quadrupole transitions were identified. Several new transitions have been added to a number of known bands. One of the strongly populated dipole bands was revised and placed differently in the level scheme, resolving a discrepancy between experiment and model calculations reported previously. Configurations are assigned to the observed bands based on cranked Nilsson-Strutinskymore »« less
