Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We have studied via in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy Po-196 and Po-198, which are the first neutron-deficient Po isotopes to exhibit a collective low-lying structure. The ratios of yrast state energies and the E2 branching ratios of transitions from non-yrast to yrast states are indicative of a low-lying vibrational structure. The onset of collective motion in these isotopes can be attributed to the opening of the neutron i(13/2) orbital at N approximate to 112 and the resulting large overlap between the two valence protons in the h(9/2) orbital and the valence neutrons in the i(13/2) orbital.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Two new features of superdeformed (SD) bands in the A almost-equal-to 190 region emerge from a study of Hg-194 with the Gammasphere detector array. A decrease of the dynamic moment of inertia is observed for rotational frequencies HBARomega greater-than-or-equal-to 0.4 MeV, confirming long standing expectations based on mean field calculations with pairing. Evidence for a small staggering in the SD transition energies is also observed, suggesting the presence of terms with fourfold symmetry in the SD Hamiltonian.

NEW OBLATE BAND IN HG-196 WITH QUENCHED M1 STRENGTH
- 1993
-
Ingår i: Physical Review C. Nuclear Physics. - 0556-2813 .- 1089-490X. ; 47:6, s. R2443-R2446
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- High-spin states in the nucleUs Hg-196 were populated in the reaction (Os(Be,5n))-Os-192 at a beam energy of 65 MeV. A regular rotational-like DELTAI = 1 band has been observed up to an excitation energy of E* almost-equal-to 8.7 MeV and spin I almost-equal-to 30hBAR. This is the second observation of a band of this character in a mercury isotope. The experimental results are compared with mean field calculations and semiclassical estimates based on the Donau-Frauendorf formalism. The mercury bands show significantly lower B(M1)/B(E2) branching ratios as compared with similar bands in light lead nuclei. This difference may be more readily explained by a difference in single-particle structure rather than by large differences in deformation between the lead and mercury configurations.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Two new superdeformed (SD) bands in Dy-153, in addition to the three previously observed, have been studied with the GAMMASPHERE detector array. Assignments to single-neutron orbits in the SD potential are made based on the band properties. Evidence for a band interaction at very high spins, possibly involving the first N = 7 proton intruder orbital, is observed in the strongest populated SD band. Furthermore, evidence far a Delta I = 2 staggering is also found in this SD band.

A PAIR OF IDENTICAL SUPERDEFORMED BANDS IN ND-136
- 1995

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- High-spin states in Nd-136 were populated via the Mo-100(Ar-40, 4n) reaction at beam energies of 176 and 182 MeV, and resulting gamma-rays were detected using the GAMMASPHERE spectrometer. Analysis of the data has revealed the existence of an excited superdeformed (SD) band in Nd-136. Th, yrast SD band in Nd-136 has been extended by the addition of four (possibly five) transitions at high frequency. The new band displays the remarkable property of having transition energies identical (to within +/- 1 keV) to those of the half-points of the yrast SD band of Nd-136. Possible explanations in terms of cranked Woods-Saxon single-particle calculations are discussed.

LOW-SPIN TERMINATION OF THE SUPERDEFORMED BAND IN ND-135

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The decay of the superdeformed (SD) band in Nd-135 was studied with the early implementation of gamma-sphere. The results suggest that the SD band ''terminates'' at spin 25/2. This termination is explained by a change of the SD minimum toward a triaxial lower deformation. Ultimate cranker calculations with the i(13/2) orbital occupied relate this change to a shift of a proton and neutron pair out of deformation-driving Nilsson orbitals. This is a completely new and unexpected mechanism for the decay of SD bands.

EXCITATIONS IN DOUBLY-MAGIC SUPERDEFORMED PB-194
- 1994

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A new superdeformed band with an intensity similar to 5% relative to the yrast superdeformed band has been observed in Pb-194. Evidence for a second new band corresponding to the signature partner is also presented. These bands were observed with GAMMASPHERE early implementation via the Yb-174(Mg-25, 5n) reaction at a beam energy of 130 MeV. The rotational characteristics of the new bands suggest an interpretation involving particle-hole excitations in the doubly-magic Pb-194 superdeformed core. The results are compared to neighboring nuclei and recent theoretical calculations, and possible configurations are suggested.

LIFETIME MEASUREMENT IN EXCITED AND YRAST SUPERDEFORMED BANDS IN HG-194
- 1994

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Nuclear level lifetimes have been measured in two superdeformed bands in Hg-194 using the Doppler-shift attenuation method. Average transition quadrupole moments derived from the life-times of an excited and yrast superdeformed bands are Q(t) = 17.6(30) and 17.2(20) eb, respectively. The Doppler shifts of the excited band relative to the yrast band indicate a slight difference in quadrupole moments [+4(5)%], assuming similar side feeding. These results imply that the second well is stable and rigid with respect to the particle excitation responsible for this excited band.

- Lifetimes of states in the regular DELTAI = 1 band in 197Pb have been measured with the Doppler-shift attenuation method. Excited states in 197Pb were populated using the Sm-154(48Ca, 5n) reaction at E(b) = 210 MeV. The target consisted of 1 mg/cm2 Sm-154 evaporated onto a 10 mg/cm2 Au backing. Discernible lineshapes for gamma rays in the energy range 300 < E(gamma) < 500 keV in the regular band were observed in a spectroscopic study with the 20 Ge-detector array, HERA. Level lifetimes were obtained from a lineshape analysis. Averaged reduced transition strengths, B(M1) approximately 1.7 W.u. and B(E2) approximately 18 W.u., are deduced and these are compared with theoretical predictions for the suggested configuration of this band.

- High-K bands have been observed in the Yb-166,Yb-167,Yb-168 isotopes following the Sn-124(Ca-48,xn gamma) reaction. The nu h(11/2) bend in Yb-167 has been extended to higher spins. The high-K bands in the even-even isotopes were observed for the first time and show very high B(M1)/B(E2) ratios. Configuration assignments for the new bands are proposed. The results are interpreted within the tilted cranking model.

- A superdeformed band has been observed for the first time in an Au isotope. The reaction used was B-11 + W-186, demonstrating that very light ions can be used to populate superdeformed (SD) bands at high angular momentum. The band is assigned to 191Au. The gamma-ray energies are at the quarter-point energies of the 192Hg SD band, indicating that it is ''identical'' to that of 192Hg.

SUPERDEFORMATION IN ER-154

- A superdeformed (SD) band consisting of 13 gamma-ray transitions has been observed in Er-154, an isotone of Dy-152(66). The experiment was performed using the Sn-118(Ar-40,4n) reaction at E(Ar-40)=185 MeV and the early implementation of GAMMASPHERE. This is an observation of a SD band in the A approximate to 150 region with a proton number greater than 66. The J((2)) moment of inertia of the band is constant above ($) over bar h omega=0.45 MeV and shows a sharp rise below this value suggesting a paired band crossing. These results suggest that total Routhian surface calculations fail to accurately predict the deformation of the band.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A method for correcting target-thickness-induced Doppler broadening in gamma-ray spectra from weakly populated, very short-lived (femtosecond) states is presented. The method is illustrated by an analysis of superdeformed transitions in Dy-152,Dy-153 for which the validity of the procedure could be verified consistently from previous lifetime measurements in Dy-152. Furthermore, estimates of the superdeformed lifetimes, previously not measured in Dy-153, are obtained.

PROTON AND NEUTRON EXCITATIONS IN SUPERDEFORMED TB-150

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Two new superdeformed (SD) bands have been observed in Tb-150 using the reaction P-31 + Sn-124 and the GAMMASPHERE detector array. These new bands are interpreted as being excited SD configurations involving a proton and a neutron particle-hole excitation, respectively. The configurations are discussed in terms of the occupancy of high-N intruder orbitals. These data are used to provide information on (i) the contribution to the dynamic moments of inertia due to the occupation of specific orbitals, (ii) the deformation driving effects of the particle-hole states, and (iii) the consequences of these effects on pairing and band crossings.

- High-spin states have been studied in Kr-72 and Br-72 using the Ca-40 + Ca-40 and Ar-36 + Ca-40 reactions at 164 and 145 MeV, respectively. The properties and configurations of the high-spin bands observed have been interpreted using impaired cranked Nilssou-Strutinsky (CNS), and for Kr-72, paired cranked relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov (CRHB) calculations. In Kr-72 a new band has been identified that has the properties expected for the doubly aligned S-band configuration. In Br-72 the previously known bands have been extended to higher spin. This has lead to a re-interpretation of the configurations.

- One of the four new excited superdeformed bands found in Dy-151 is characterized by transition energies that lie midway between the gamma-ray energies of the yrast superdeformed band in Dy-152. This result adds significant new information on the issue of ''identical'' bands, as it confirms predictions based on the strong coupling model and the pseudospin coupling scheme.
