Abstract

A highly-deformed rotational band has been identified in the N = Z nucleus ³⁶Ar. At high spin the band is observed to its presumed termination at I^π = 16⁺ , while at low spin it has been firmly linked to previously known states in ³⁶Ar. Spins, parities, and absolute excitation energies have thus been determined throughout the band. Lifetime measurements establish a large low-spin quadrupole deformation (β₂ = 0.46 ±0.03) and indicate a decreasing collectivity as the band termination is approached. With effectively complete spectroscopic information and a valence space large enough for significant collectivity to develop, yet small enough to be meaningfully approached from the shell model perspective, this rotational band in ³⁶Ar provides many exciting opportunities to test and compare complementary models of collective motion in nuclei.

Lifetimes of superdeformed rotational states in {sup 36}Ar.

Journal Article Svensson, C E ; Macchiavelli, A O ; Juodagalvis, A ; ... - Phys. Rev. C

Lifetimes have been measured in a superdeformed rotational band recently identified in the N=Z nucleus {sup 36}Ar. A large low-spin quadrupole deformation ({beta}{sub 2}=0.46{+-}0.03) is confirmed and a decrease in the collectivity is observed as the high-spin band termination at I{sup {pi}}=16{sup +} is approached. Detailed comparisons of the experimental B(E2) values with the results of cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky and large-scale (s{sub 1/2}d{sub 3/2})-pf spherical shell model calculations indicate the need for a more refined treatment of transition matrix elements close to termination in the former, and the inclusion of the complete sd-pf model space in the latter description of thismore » highly-collective rotational band.« less

Consequences of neutron-proton pairing correlations for the rotational motion of the N=Z nucleus 72Kr

Journal Article Kelsall, N S ; Wadsworth, R ; Wilson, A N ; ... - Physical Review C

High-spin states in the N=Z nucleus {sup 72}Kr were populated using the {sup 40}Ca({sup 36}Ar,2p2n) reaction at a beam energy of 145 MeV. The yrast band has been observed up to a tentative spin of 20{Dirac_h}. Nonyrast rotational structures have also been observed for the first time. The alignment of g{sub 9/2} protons and neutrons in the yrast band is observed to be significantly delayed relative to the heavier even-even Kr isotopes. Exact deformed cranked shell model calculations suggest that this could be due to the combined effect of isovector (T=1) and isoscalar (T=0) neutron-proton pairing correlations.

Rotational Bands in the Doubly Magic Nucleus N{number_sign}⁵⁶ⁱ

Journal Article Rudolph, D ; Baktash, C ; Brinkman, M J ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Structures of the medium- to high-spin states in the doubly magic nucleus {sup 56}Ni have been investigated using the reaction {sup 28}Si({sup 36}Ar,thinsp2{alpha}) and the {gamma} -ray spectrometer Gammasphere in conjunction with the 4{pi} charged-particle detector array Microball. Two well-deformed rotational bands have been identified. There is evidence that one of the bands, which is identical to a sequence in the odd-odd neighbor {sup 58}Cu , partially decays via proton emission into the ground state of {sup 55}Co . Predictions of extensive large-scale shell-model and cranked Hartree-Fock and Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov calculations are compared with the experimental data. {copyright} {ital 1999} {italmore » The American Physical Society}« less

Elastic and inelastic. alpha. scattering on sup 36 Ar at E sub. alpha. =40, 48, and 54 MeV

Journal Article Kocher, K ; Neu, R ; Hoyler, F ; ... - Physical Review, C (Nuclear Physics); (United States)

Differential cross sections for elastic and inelastic {alpha}- scattering on {sup 36}Ar have been measured at 40, 48, and 54 MeV. The data have been analyzed in the coupled-channel approach using double-folded optical {alpha}-{sup 36}Ar potentials considering the model of the symmetric rotator and the harmonic vibrator. The octupole transition probability deduced in the harmonic-vibrator model is almost identical to the value obtained from electromagnetic probes. In the symmetric-rotator model only the choice of negative {beta}{sub 2} and {beta}{sub 4} deformation parameters results in consistent fits to the data at all incident energies. This unambiguously proves the oblate shape ofmore »« less
