New excitations in and : Evolution of bands in the isotones
Abstract
New excited states in 142Ba and 144Ce are investigated by means of prompt γ-ray spectroscopy of the radiation following spontaneous fission of 252Cf. Measurements of angular correlations and the observed branchings allowed the assignment of spins and parities with confidence. The new measurements are reinforced by shell-model calculations where energy levels, electric transitions, and magnetic moments are consistent with experimental data. Lastly, the presence of collectivity in the N = 86 isotones is confirmed by clear signatures of soft triaxial γ bands in both nuclei.

Experimental data on ground- and excited-state properties for all nuclei with mass number A=144 have been compiled and evaluated. States populated in radioactive decay as well as in nuclear reactions have been considered. For these nuclei, level and decay schemes have been built, as well as tables of nuclear properties.
