- High-spin states of the nucleus Lu-163 have been populated through the fusion-evaporation reaction La-139(Si-29, 5n) with a beam energy of 157 MeV. In addition to the two lowest excited triaxial strongly deformed (TSD) bands, recently interpreted as one- and two-phonon wobbling excitations, a third excited TSD band has been firmly established decaying to the yrast TSD band. The assignment of this band as a three-quasiparticle band shows together with the normal deformed (ND) level scheme the presence not only of shape coexistence between ND and TSD structures, but also an interplay of wobbling and quasiparticle excitations in the triaxial strongly deformed potential well of Lu-163.

Superdeformed band at very high spin in Nd-140
- 2004
-
Ingår i: Physical Review C (Nuclear Physics). - 0556-2813. ; 70:6
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A new high-spin superdeformed band has been discovered in Nd-140(60)80. It was populated in the Zr-96(Ca-48,4n) reaction and investigated using the EUROBALL gamma-ray spectrometer array. The band is observed in the approximate spin range of I=36 to 66. It is associated with shell gaps around Z=60 and at N=80 at large deformation. These gaps produce a pronounced minimum in the calculated total Routhian surfaces at a quadrupole deformation of epsilon(2)=0.45. The new band which lies between the high-deformation bands in the Aapproximate to130 region and the superdeformed bands in Aapproximate to150 nuclei provides insight into the development of the deformation between these two regions. Two possible configurations are suggested involving four neutrons of i(13/2) origin (nu6(4)) and either six protons of h(11/2)/h(9/2) origin (pi5(6)) or five protons of h(11/2)/h(9/2) and one of i(13/2) origin (pi5(5)6(1)).

Triaxiality at high spins in Nd nuclei
- 2006

Ingår i: Physica Scripta. - 0031-8949. ; T125, s. 212-213

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The level structure of Nd-140(80) has been established up to spin 48 by in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy using the Zr-96(Ca-48, 4n) reaction. High-fold gamma-ray coincidences were measured with the EUROBALL spectrometer. Twelve new rotational bands have been discovered at high spins, showing the change from a spherical single-particle behaviour at low spins to a deformed regime with stable triaxiality at high spins. Possible configurations are assigned to the observed bands on the basis of configuration-dependent cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations.

Identification of triaxial strongly deformed bands in Hf-168
- 2008
-
Ingår i: Physical Review C (Nuclear Physics). - 0556-2813. ; 78:4
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Possible decay pathways associated with three candidates for triaxial strongly deformed (TSD) bands in Hf-168 have been investigated. The spin and excitation energy of the strongest band, TSD1, were determined approximately based on gamma-ray coincidence relationships. Discrete links were established for the second band. The overall agreement between the observed properties of the bands and cranking calculations using the ULTIMATE CRANKER code provides strong support for an interpretation where band TSD1 is associated with a TSD minimum, (epsilon(2),gamma)similar to(0.43,20(degrees)), involving the pi(i(13/2))(2) and the nu(j(15/2)) high-j orbitals. This constitutes the first identification of a TSD band in Hf isotopes, which has been long-predicted by theoretical studies. The second band is understood as being associated with a near-prolate shape and a deformation enhanced with respect to the normal deformed bands. It is proposed to be built on the pi(i(13/2)h(9/2))circle times nu(i(13/2))(2) configuration.

Transition to non-collective states at high spin in Xe-124
- 2008
-
Ingår i: European Physical Journal A. Hadrons and Nuclei. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1434-6001. ; 36:1, s. 21-29

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Excited states in Xe-124 were populated in the reaction Se-82(Ca-48, 6n) Xe-124 and gamma-ray coincidence relationships were measured with the Gammasphere spectrometer. Two new bands are observed and several of the previously known bands are extended in the high-as well as in the low-spin region. Two irregular high-spin structures are also added. The irregularities are a fingerprint of a transition from collective to non-collective behaviour. Configuration assignments to the new structures are proposed on the basis of systematics and by comparing experimental properties with calculations within the framework of the cranking model.

Evolution of collective and noncollective structures in Xe 123
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Physical Review C. - 2469-9985. ; 101:2
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- An experiment involving a heavy-ion-induced fusion-evaporation reaction was carried out where high-spin states of Xe123 were populated in the Se80(Ca48,5n)Xe123 reaction at 207 MeV beam energy. Gamma-ray coincidence events were recorded with the Gammasphere Ge detector array. The previously known level scheme was confirmed and enhanced with the addition of five new band structures and several interband transitions. Cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky (CNS) calculations were performed and compared with the experimental results in order to assign configurations to the bands.

Evidence for second-phonon nuclear wobbling
- 2002
-
Ingår i: Physical Review Letters. - 1079-7114. ; 89:14
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The nucleus Lu-163 has been populated through the reaction La-139(Si-29,5n) with a beam energy of 157 MeV. Three triaxial, strongly deformed (TSD) bands have been observed with very similar rotational properties. The first excited TSD band has earlier been assigned as a one-phonon wobbling excitation built on the lowest-lying (yrast) TSD band. The large B(E2)(out)/B(E2)(in) value obtainable for one of four observed transitions between the second and first excited TSD bands is in good agreement with particle-rotor calculations for a two-phonon wobbling excitation.

Identification of triaxial strongly deformed bands in Hf-164
- 2013
-
Ingår i: Physical Review C (Nuclear Physics). - 0556-2813. ; 88:4
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Two new rotational bands of distinct character have been identified in Hf-164. They are suggested to correspond to the long-anticipated triaxial strongly deformed (TSD) bands predicted by theoretical studies. The bands have been linked to known states, and the level spins and energies could be determined. The bands are also substantially stronger in intensity and are located at lower spins than the previously observed TSD bands in Hf-168, hereby making Hf-164 the best even-even system so far for the study of TSD structures in the A similar to 160 mass region. Cranking calculations based on the modified-oscillator model suggest that the bands are associated with four-quasiparticle configurations that involve high-j intruder (i(13/2))(2) proton orbitals.

Collective and noncollective excitations in Te-122
- 2013
-
Ingår i: Physical Review C (Nuclear Physics). - 0556-2813. ; 88:4
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- High-spin states in Te-122 were populated in the reaction Se-82(Ca-48, alpha 4n) Te-122 at a beam energy of 200 MeV and gamma-ray coincidences weremeasured with the Gammasphere spectrometer. The previously known level scheme was extended to considerably higher spin. Maximally aligned states and several high-energy transitions feeding into some of these levels were observed. In addition, seven collective high-spin bands were discovered for the first time in this nucleus. The experimental results are compared with cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky model calculations and possible configuration assignments to the new high-spin structures are discussed.
