Shape changes and alignment properties in /sup 77/Kr

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
Excited positive parity states up to spin ((41/2) have been studied in /sup 77/Kr using a 98 MeV /sup 28/Si beam on a natural chromium target. ..delta..J = 1 transitions have been identified throughout the positive parity band. The energies, mixing ratios, and B(M1) transition rates for these transitions alternate in size as the spin increases. A cranked shell model analysis was performed along with Strutinsky-Bogolyubov cranking calculations. The observed decrease in the signature splitting of the ..nu..g/sub 9/2/ band has been attributed to a band crossing due to an aligning pair of g/sub 9/2/ protons. Prolate quadrupole deformations of ..beta../sub 2/ = 0.34 for the one-quasiparticle band and ..beta../sub 2/ = 0.26 for the three-quasiparticle band are predicted. This band crossing is associated with a shape change caused by the polarization effect of aligned quasiparticles.
