Signature splitting of the g(7/2)[404]7/2(+) bands in Ba-131 and Ce-133

• Excited states in Ba-131 and Ce-133 were studied using in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy through the Sn-122(C-13, 4n) Ba-133 and Te-125(C-12, 4n) Ce-133 reactions, respectively. A strongly coupled band, associated with the nu g(7/2) [404]7/2(+) configuration, was identified in Ba-131 and Ce-133. It is the first time to observe the nu g(7/2) [404]7/2(+) bands in the N = 75 isotones. The signature partners exhibit considerable energy splitting in comparison with those in the pi g(7/2) [404]7/2(+) bands in the odd-A Ta and Re isotopes. Extensive cranked shell model and quasiparticle-plus-triaxial-rotor model calculations reveal the origin of the signature splitting, which depends not only on the triaxiality, but also on the configuration mixing with nearby low- j orbitals.
