Abstract

Lifetimes have been deduced in the intermediate/high-spin range for the three known rotational bands in {sup 73}Kr and the T=0 band in {sup 74}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.

High-spin rotational structures in {sup 76}Kr

Journal Article Valiente-Dobon, J J ; Svensson, C E ; Finlay, P ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

High-spin states in {sup 36}{sub 76}Kr{sub 40} have been populated in the {sup 40}Ca({sup 40}Ca,4p){sup 76}Kr fusion-evaporation reaction at a beam energy of 165 MeV and studied using the Gammasphere and Microball multidetector arrays. The ground-state band and two signature-split negative parity bands of {sup 76}Kr have been extended to {approx}30({Dirac_h}/2{pi}). Lifetime measurements using the Doppler-shift attenuation method show that the transition quadrupole moment of these three bands decrease as they approach their maximum-spin states. Two signatures of a new rotational structure with remarkably rigid rotational behavior have been identified. The high-spin properties of these rotational bands are analyzed withinmore »« less

Evidence of nontermination of collective rotation near the maximum angular momentum in {sup 75}Rb

Journal Article Davies, P J ; Wadsworth, R ; Jenkins, D G ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

Two of the four known rotational bands in {sup 75}Rb were studied via the {sup 40}Ca({sup 40}Ca,{alpha}p){sup 75}Rb reaction at a beam energy of 165 MeV. Transitions were observed up to the maximum spin I{sub max} of the assigned configuration in one case and one-transition short of I{sub max} in the other. Lifetimes were determined using the residual Doppler shift attenuation method. The deduced transition quadrupole moments show a small decrease with increasing spin, but remain large at the highest spins. The results obtained are in good agreement with cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations, which indicate that these rotational bands do notmore »« 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.

Transition strengths and deformation in sup 77 Kr

Journal Article Johnson, T D ; Holcomb, J W ; Womble, P C ; ... - Physical Review, C (Nuclear Physics); (USA)

High spin states in {sup 77}Kr were populated using the {sup 48}Ti({sup 32}S,2{ital pn}){sup 77}Kr reaction with a 106 MeV {sup 32}S beam from the Florida State University Tandem-LINAC accelerator. Three Compton-suppressed Ge detectors at 95{degree} and one at 18{degree} were used to determine {gamma}-{gamma} coincidence relations, directional correlation ratios and Doppler-shift attenuation lifetimes. The level scheme for the positive-parity band agrees with previous studies up to spin 37/2{sup +}. New levels at 9913 keV (41/2{sup +}) and 11 760 keV (45/2{sup +}) have been identified. The negative-parity band was extended to a probable spin state of 27/2{sup {minus}}, withmore »« less

Non-termination of yrast bands at maximum configuration spin in {sup 73}Kr

Journal Article Steinhardt, T ; Eberth, J ; Thelen, O ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

High-spin states in {sup 73}Kr were studied at the XTU tandem accelerator of the Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro using the reaction {sup 40}Ca({sup 40}Ca,alpha2pn) at a beam energy of 185 MeV. Gamma rays were detected with the EUROBALL spectrometer. Particle detection enabled us to identify the reaction channel leading to {sup 73}Kr. The yrast bands of positive and negative parity were established up to probable spins of 61/2{sup +} and 63/2{sup -}, respectively. The energies of the two identified bands agree well with the predictions of the configuration-dependent Cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky approximation and indicate that the nucleus remains collective up tomore »« less
