- Wobbling is a rotational mode unique to a triaxial body. The Lu-Hf isotopes with N similar to 94 at high spin provide a possible region of nuclei with pronounced triaxiality. We have investigated Lu-163 through the fusion-evaporation reaction La-139(Si-29,5n)Lu-163 with a beam energy of 152 MeV. Three excited bands decaying into the known, presumably triaxial, superdeformed (TSD) band built on the i(13/2) proton orbital are observed. The electromagnetic properties of the connecting transitions from the two strongest populated excited TSD bands have been investigated. New particle-rotor calculations in which one i(13/2) quasiproton is coupled to the core of triaxial shape produce a variety of bands, whose properties can clearly be interpreted either as "wobbling" or "cranking" motion of the core. Evidence for the assignment of the excited TSD bands as one, and possibly even two wobbling phonon modes built on the yrast TSD band in Lu-163 is given. These triaxial bands coexist with bands built on quasiparticle excitations in the normal deformed (ND) minimum for which new data are also presented.

HIGH-SPIN STATES IN ODD-ODD NUCLEI
- 1993
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- High-spin states in doubly odd nuclei of 124Cs, 126Cs and 124La have been investigated by gamma ray spectroscopy. Rotational bands of pih11/2 x nuh11/2 configuration have been assigned by the blocking argument on the first band crossing frequencies for neighboring odd-A nuclei. In cesium isotopes, the signature inversion of quasiparticle routhians has been observed. The spin of the band head in 124Cs has been determined to be (7+) by means of spectroscopic method. This spin assignment implies that the signature inversion occurs at low spin. The signature dependence becomes normal at higher spins than 17hBAR. The occurrence of the signature inversion in the A approximately 130 mass region is discussed by comparing excitation energies, transition intensities and the shell-model orbits of valence nucleons with those of rare-earth nuclei.

Lifetimes of triaxial superdeformed states in Lu-163 and Lu-164
- 2002

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Lifetimes of states in the yrast superdeformed bands of Lu-163 and Lu-164 were determined in a Doppler-shift attenuation-method experiment. From fractional Doppler shifts and line shapes, average transition quadrupole moments, Q(t) = 8.2(-0.6)(+1.0) b and 7.1(-0.6)(+0.5) 1), were deduced for one of the bands in Lu-163 OX -0.6 and Lu-164, respectively. These values are much larger than the quadrupole moment of the normal-deformed yrast band in Yb-163, Q(t) = 4.9(-0.4)(+1.34) b, that was also determined in this experiment. Comparison to cranking calculations indicates that both superdeformed bands correspond to a local potential energy minimum with a pronounced triaxiality, gamma similar to 20degrees.
