- A rotational band with seven gamma -ray transitions between states with spin 2 (h) over bar and 16 (h) over bar has been observed in the doubly magic, self-conjugate nucleus Ca-40(20)20. The measured transition quadrupole moment of 1.80(-0.29)(+0.39)eb in

High-spin structure of N similar or equal to Z nuclei around the A=72 region

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- 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.

Evidence for isovector neutron-proton pairing from high-spin states in N=Z Rb-74
- 2003

In: Physical Review C (Nuclear Physics). - 0556-2813. ; 67:2: 021301
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- High-spin states in the odd-odd N=Z nucleus Rb-74(37)37 were studied using the Ca-40(Ca-40,alphanp) reaction. A previously observed odd-spin T=0 band has been extended to I-pi=(31(+)) and an even-spin T=0 band has been observed for the first time to I-pi=(22(+)); both have a pi(g(9/2))circle timesnu(g(9/2)) structure. A strongly coupled low-spin T=0,K=3 band has been interpreted as being based upon a pi[312]3/2 circle timesnu[312]3/2 configuration. Cranked relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov calculations, which are corrected for the t=1 np-pair field by restoring isospin symmetry, reproduce the observed spectrum. These new results provide evidence for the existence of an isovector pair field that contains a neutron-proton component with the proper strength for ensuring isospin conservation.

Lifetime measurements and terminating structures in Nb-87
- 2003
-
In: Physical Review C (Nuclear Physics). - 0556-2813. ; 67:3: 034316
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Two experiments have been performed using the Ni-58(S-32,3p) reaction at 135 MeV with Gammasphere and the Microball to study the high-spin structure of the transitional nucleus Nb-87. The first experiment using a thin target provided a considerable extension and refinement of the level scheme, as well as firm spin assignments from directional correlation of oriented nuclei. Sub-picosecond lifetimes were measured in the second backed-target experiment using the Doppler-shift attenuation method. The lifetimes imply a rather modest average deformation of beta(2)similar to0.1, but with considerable variation from state to state. Strong alternations were observed in the B(M1) strengths of transitions between some pairs of bands. The experimental results were compared with calculations performed within the cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky approach. The calculations generally reproduce the irregularities in the structure of the yrast lines and plunging transition quadrupole moments Q(t) within the bands explaining them as reflections of configuration changes and an approach of band termination, respectively.

Evidence for nontermination of rotational bands in Kr-74
- 2005

In: Physical Review Letters. - 1079-7114. ; 95:23
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Three rotational bands in Kr-74 were studied up to (in one case one transition short of) the maximum spin I-max of their respective single-particle configurations. Their lifetimes have been determined using the Doppler-shift attenuation method. The deduced transition quadrupole moments reveal a modest decrease, but far from a complete loss of collectivity at the maximum spin I-max. This feature, together with the results of mean field calculations, indicates that the observed bands do not terminate at I=I-max.
