Fragmentation of octupole strength in even-A Pt isotopes

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
It is proposed that certain states of undetermined spin and parity observed in previously reported /sup 198/Pt(p,p'/gamma/) and /sup 194,196,198/Pt(p,p') experiments are 3/sup -/ states and contain a significant amount of octupole strength. These results show that the octupole strength is fragmented in the Pt isotopes. The predictions of Engel for the distribution of octupole strength in Pt isotopes are compared to the strengths obtained from (p,p'). Furthermore, an explanation for the anomalous behavior of 3/sub 1//sup -/ states in the Pt-Hg region is proposed.
