Abstract

Thirty-one even-even isotopes ({ital Z}=72{endash}80 and {ital N}=110{endash}126) have two shape transition temperatures, where {ital T}{sub {ital c}2}{approx_gt}{ital T}{sub {ital c}1}. For temperatures above {ital T}{sub {ital c}1}, the equilibrium shape is spherical if the rotational frequency is zero. For these 31 nuclei, a slow rotation of the spherical shape creates a {ital prolate} shape rotating about its symmetry axis if the temperature is between {ital T}{sub {ital c}1} and {ital T}{sub {ital c}2}, and an oblate shape rotating about its symmetry axis if the temperature is above {ital T}{sub {ital c}2}. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}

Rotation induced prolate spheroid above the critical temperature

Journal Article Goodman, A - Physical Review Letters; (United States)

For temperatures above [ital T][sub [ital c]] (where the nuclear equilibrium shape is spherical at rotational frequency [omega]=0), a small rotation can generate a prolate equilibrium shape rotating'' around its symmetry axis. This prolate spheroid is caused by a quantum shell effect which exists at positive [omega], but not at [omega]=0. For [ital T]=1.5 MeV ([gt][ital T][sub [ital c]]), [sup 188]Os is prolate for all positive spins up to 60[h bar].

High-spin states in sup 136 Ce: Systematics of collective oblate rotation

Journal Article Paul, E; Fossan, D; Liang, Y; ... - Physical Review, C (Nuclear Physics); (USA)

The level structure of the transitional even-even {sup 136}Ce nucleus has been investigated using the {sup 122}Sn({sup 18}O, 4{ital n}{gamma}) reaction. The prominent structure observed at high spin is a {Delta}{ital I}=1 rotational band, populated with {similar to}25% intensity of the 2{sup +}{r arrow}0{sup +} transition, which has a low dynamic moment of inertia {lt}20{h bar}{sup 2} MeV{sup {minus}1} for frequencies below {h bar}{omega}=0.45 MeV. This band is interpreted in terms of a two-quasiproton-two-quasineutron configuration with a shape close to the collectively rotating {gamma}={minus}60{degree} oblate shape, and is related to the oblate {pi}{ital h}{sub 11/2}{direct product}({nu}{ital h}{sub 11/2}){sup 2} configurationmore »« less

Rotational band structures in sup 127 Cs: Shape changes induced by h sub 11/2 neutron alignment

Journal Article Liang, Y; Ma, R; Paul, E; ... - Physical Review, C (Nuclear Physics); (USA)

Several rotational bands have been populated to high spin in {sup 127}Cs following the {sup 120}Sn({sup 11}B,4{ital n}) reaction. Rotational bands built on low-lying proton {ital g}{sub 7/2}, {ital d}{sub 5/2}, and {ital g}{sub 9/2} (hole) orbitals, and the unique-parity {ital h}{sub 11/2} orbital were observed and identified. For the {pi}{ital g}{sub 9/2} (hole) case, both signatures were seen in a strongly coupled {Delta}{ital I}=1 band, while for the other cases, decoupled {Delta}{ital I}=2 bands were observed with strong in-band quadrupole transitions. Through comparisons with cranked-shell-model calculations, these band structures are understood to be associated with a prolate ({gamma}{approximately}0{degree}) deformedmore »« less

Ground-state and collective modes of a spin-polarized dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate in a harmonic trap

Journal Article Sapina, I; Dahm, T; Schopohl, N - Physical Review. A

We report results for the Thomas-Fermi ground state of a spin-polarized dipolar interacting Bose-Einstein condensate for the case when the external magnetic field B is not orientated parallel to a principal axis but is aligned parallel to a symmetry plane of a harmonic anisotropic trap. For a dipole interaction strength parameter {epsilon}{sub D{ne}}0 the release energy of the condensate depends on the trap orientation angle {theta}{sub T} between the principal axis e{sub z,T} of the trap and the field B. From the quasiclassical Josephson equation of macroscopic quantum physics we determine the low-lying eigenfrequencies of small-amplitude collective modes of themore »« less

Shape coexistence in transitional nuclei in the A @ 120 mass region

Miscellaneous Liang, Yun

High-spin states in the odd-proton nuclei {sup 119,121,123}I and {sup 121,127,131}Cs are studied following heavy-ion fusion-evaporation reactions using beams provided by the Stony Brook Tandem-LINAC accelerator. Gamma-rays resulting from deexcitations of high-spin states are measured using an array of six Compon-suppressed germanium detectors. Experiments performed include excitation functions, angular distributions, {gamma}-{gamma} coincidence and pulsed-beam E{sub {gamma}}-t measurements. Following theoretical predictions of competing prolate and oblate potential-energy minima, experimental evidence is presented for the coexistence of prolate and oblate nuclear shapes in {sup 119,121,123}I. Both prolate and oblate rotational bands are observed with the same single-quasiproton configuration in each nucleus. Rotationalmore »« less
