Properties of the πh_(9/2)  νi_(13/2) band in odd-odd ~(188)Au

A new rotational band has been identified and assigned to 188Au for the first time using the 173Yb(19F,4nγ) reaction at the beam energies of 86 and 90 MeV. This band is proposed to be built on the πh9/2  νi13/2 configuration by comparing the band properties with known bands in neighboring nuclei. The prolate-to-oblate shape transition through triaxial shape has been proposed to occur around 188Au for the πh9/2  νi13/2 bands in odd-odd Au isotopes on the basis of total Routhian surface (TRS) calculations.     

稀土区奇质子Lu和Ta核旋称反转研究

研究了奇质子核Lu和Ta同位素链h11/2质子9／2[514]转动带旋称劈裂的系统规律，并与同一核区奇奇核的πh11/2×vi13/2两准粒子转动带低自旋区旋称劈裂规律进行了比较，指出奇质子Lu和Ta核三准粒子带的旋称反转很可能是来源于h11/2准质子和 i13/2准中子之间的相互作用。The systematic features of signature splitting of the h11/2 9/2 [ 514] rotational band in Lutetium and Tantalum isotope chains have been investigated and compared with that of πh11/2×vi13/2 2-quasiparticle band in oddodd nuclei of the same nuclear region. It is shown that signature inversion of 3-quasiparticle band of some odd- Z Lutetium and Tantalum nuclei most probably caused by the p-n interaction of h11/2 quasiproton and i13/2 quasineutron.     

Influence of Traxiality on the Signature Inversion in Odd-Odd Nuclei

The nature of signature inversion in the πg/2vh11/2 bands of odd-odd^98.102Rh nuclei is studied. Calculations are performed by using a triaxial rotor plus two-quasiparticle model and are compared with the experimentally observed signature inversions. The calculations reproduce well the observations and suggest that, in these bands, the signature inversion can be interpreted mainly as a competition between the Coriolis and the proton-neutron residual interactions in low K space. The triaxiality applied in the Hamiltonian enlarges the amplitudes of high spin signature zigzags at small triaxial deformation and might push the signature inversion point to higher spin at large triaxial deformation.     

Properties of the 3/2~-[521] band in the odd-N rare-earth nuclei

High-spin states in 161Er have been studied experimentally via the 150Nd(16O, 5n) reaction at a beam energy of 86 MeV. Three rotational bands built on the 5/2+[642], 3/2-[521], and 11/2-[505] configurations have been extended up to high-spin states, and particularly, the α = -1/2 branch of the ground state 3/2-[521] band has been revised significantly. It is found that signature inversion occurs in the 3/2-[521] band after the band crossing in 161Er. The systematics of the signature inversion associated wit...     

Identification of a New Band and Its Signature Inversion in ^174Re

High spin states in ^174Re are investigated via the ^152Sm（^27 AL,5nγ）^174Re reaction and γ - γ coincidence relationships are analysed carefully. A new band is identified due to its spectroscopic connection with the known π1/2^-[541] × ν1/2^-[521] band. This band is proposed to be the ground-state band built on the π1/2^-[541]× ,ν5/2^-[512] configuration in view of the low-lying intrinsic states in the neighbouring odd-mass nuclei. It is of particular interesting that the new band exhibits a phenomenon of low-spin signature inversion, providing a new situation for theoretical investigations.     

πg9/2νh11/2 doublet bands in A～100 mass region

Using the model with one particle and one hole coupled with a triaxial rotor, the πg9/2/1/2νh11/2 doublet bands in the A～100 mass region are studied, and compared with the πg9/2/1/2νh11/2 doublet bands. It is found that the calculated results for the configuration of πg9/2/1/2νh11/2 are very similar the results for a pure h11/2 proton particle and a neutron quasiparticle with λn = ε5. After including the pair correlation, the model describes the candidate chiral doublet bands in 106Rh successfully, which supports the interpretation of chirality geometry.     

Observation of High-j Two-Quasiparticle Bands in Odd-Odd ^174Re

High spin states in ^174Re have been investigated via the ^152Sm （^27 Al, 5nγ） ^174Re reaction. Gamma-ray excitation functions, x-γ and γ-γ coincidences have been measured. Two rotational bands built on the πh9/2 × vi13/2 and πh11/2 × vi13/2 configurations have been identified and extended up to high-spin states. The relative spin and parity of the band levels have been unambiguously fixed due to observations of several inter-band transitions. Both the bands show the low-spin signature inversion, which is consistent with systematic expectations for the high-j two-quasiparticle bands in the A = 170 mass region.     

High Spin States in Odd--Odd 160Tm Nucleus

High-spin states of ^160Tm are studied by the ^146 Nd（^19F, 5n） reaction at a beam energy of 102 MeV. The previously known πh11/2 ＋ vi13/2 yrast band and πh11/2 ＋ vh9/2 side band are confirmed. The level scheme is enriched and more low-lying levels are observed. A new side band is observed and assigned as the favoured signature partner of πd3/2 ＋ vi13/2. The spin of this band is assigned with the energy level systematics. It is pointed out that the B （M1）/B （E2） ratios increase rapidly at the high frequency approaching the second crossing in the π h11/2 ＋ vi13/2 braid, which is closely related to the alignment gain of the aligned i13/2 quasineutron.     

πg9/2(⊕)vh11/2 doublet bands in A～100 mass region

Using the model with one particle and one hole coupled with a triaxial rotor, the πg(-1)(9/2)(⊕)vh11/2 doublet bands in the A ～ 100 mass region are studied, and compared with the πh11/2(⊕)vh(-1)(11/2) doublet bands.It is found that the calculated results for the configuration of πg(-1)(9/2)(⊕)vh11/2 are very similar the results for a pure h11/2 proton particle and a neutron quasiparticle with λn =ε5. After including the pair correlation, the model describes the candidate chiral doublet bands in 106Rh successfully, which supports the interpretation of chirality geometry.     

High-spin states and signature inversion studies in 110Ag

The high-spin states of ¹¹⁰Ag were populated via fusion evaporation reaction ¹¹⁰Pd(⁷Li, 2p2n)¹¹⁰Ag and a new level scheme has been presented. The systematics of signature splitting and signature inversion of the πg_9/2⊙νh_11/2 configuration band in Ag isotopes are studied. The spin of inversion point decreases with increasing neutron number and this feature is explained as due to the competition between the p-n residual interaction and the Coriolis force.     

Proposed Chiral Doublet Bands in ^98Tc

High spin states in odd-odd ^98 Tc nuclei are studied by in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy with the ^96 Zr（^6Li, 412） fusionevaporation reaction at a beam energy of 35MeV. The previous level scheme is updated. A band based on 1090.7keV is expanded, and another band based on 1920.6 keV is newly identified. The observed two negative parity bands in ^98 Tc are proposed to be a pair of chiral doublet bands with the configuration πg9/2 vh11/2. The evidence supporting the assignment of the chiral doublet bands is discussed. Signature splitting and signature inversion are observed in the πg9/2 vh11/2 band in ^98Tc.     

Clarification of Confusion in Level Scheme of 124Cs

Low-lying and high-spin states of ^124 Cs are studied through the ^116 Sn（^11 B,3n）^124 Cs reaction at a beam energy of 45 MeV. Several new linking transitions are observed, including three transitions between the yrast and πh11/2 vd3/2 bands and two transitions between the yrast and πh11/2 v（d5/2, g7/2） bands. These transitions fix the excitation energy of the yrast band and its decay path, and confirm the existence of eight E1 finking transitions between the yrast and πh11/2 v（d5/2, 97/2） bands observed before. These E1 linking transitions infer the oetupole correlation in ^124Cs. The decay paths of the yrast band are investigated, and discrepancies in the level scheme of ^124Cs in the latest two studies are clarified. The reason for the discrepancies is discussed. A new decoupled band is established and temporarily assigned as the unfavored signature partner of πh11/2 vd3/2 configuration.     

Investigation into the rotational bands of ~(185)Pt with the particle-rotor model

Theoretical calculations have been performed for the ν9/2+[624](i13/2) and ν7/2-[503](f7/2) bands of 185Pt in the framework of particle-rotor model. The band properties of signature splitting and configuration mixing have been analyzed. The level energy and signature splitting before the band crossing can be well interpreted by introducing triaxiality. The positive-parity yrast band is pro posed to be dominated by the ν9/2+[624](i13/2) component, while the negative-parity band shows strong mixing of ν7/2-[5...     

Signature splitting of the πh11/2 band and high-spin structures in 155Tb

Seven experimentally observed bands of 155Tb are analyzed in detail,using the particle-number-conserving method for treating the cranked shell model with monopole and quadrupole pairing interactions.We satisfactorily reproduce the experimental alignments and especially focus on the microscopic mechanism of the second back-bending and the influence of pair interaction on ultrahigh spins.Our calculated results show that the πi13/2 orbitals are too high to give a contribution to the moment of inertia below ω≈ 0.7 MeV.Instead,the crossing between the π[541]1/2 and other proton orbitals is responsible for the second back-bending.We assign a possible configuration to the decoupled band found in 155Tb and predict eleven bands which are experimentally unobserved.     

Probe the 2s（1/2） and 1d（3/2） state level inversion with electron-nucleus scattering

The neutron-rich even-even nuclei^26–40Mg,^28–46Si,^30–48S, and ^32–56Ar are calculated with the RMF model and the phase-shift electron scattering method. Results show that level inversion of the 2s1/2 and 1d3/2 proton states may occur for the magnesium, silicon, sulphur, and argon isotopes with more neutrons away from the stability line. Calculations show that the variation of the central charge densities for30–48S, and32–56Ar are very sensitive to the 2s1/2 and 1d3/2 proton state level inversion, and the level inversion can lead to a large measurable central charge depletion to the charge density distributions for the neutron-rich isotopes. Calculations also show that the charge density diferences between the isotopes with and without central charge depletion can reveal not only the level inversion of the 2s1/2 and 1d3/2 proton states but also the behavior of the proton wave functions of both states. The results can provide references for the possible study of the nuclear level inversion and nuclear bubble phenomenon with electron scattering of short-lived nuclei at RIKEN or/and GSI in the future. In addition, direct nuclear reaction 44S（n, d）43P or44S（3H, α）43P might also be a possible way to study the 2s1/2 and 1d3/2 proton state level inversion.     

Structure of the Semi—decoupled π 1／2[411] Band in Odd Proton Nucleus ^169Ta

High spin states of the odd proton-nucleus ^169Ta have been populated in the reaction ^155Gd(^19F,5n) with beam energies of 97MeV,Rotational band based on d3/2 proton 1/2[411]Nilsson state has been pushed up to 39/2^ in the α=1/2 decay sequence.Its signature partner,the α=-1/2 decay sequence with four link transitions has been established and 1/2[411] band in ^169Ta was reassigned to be a semi-decoupled band.The systematics of the signature splitting in the K=1/2 bands in the rear-earth region and the accidental degeneracy conclusion given by the angular projection shell model were discussed.     

Study of the νi13/2－1 band in 189Pt

High-spin levels of ^189Pt have been studied with the in-beam T-spectroscopy method via the ^176Yb（^18O,5n） reaction at the beam energies of 88 and 95 MeV. The previously known ＂vi-1 13/2 band has been confirmed, and its unfavored signature branch extended up to the 31/2^＋ state. Within the framework of the triaxial particle-rotor model, the vi-1 13/2 band is suggested to be associated with the 11/2[615] configuration, and to have triaxial deformation.     

ON πh9/2 ALIGNMENT IN Pt EVEN ISOTOPES

πh_9/2 alignment in Pt even isotopes has calculated and discussed systematically.It is found that Δhω_c≡hω_c(πh_9/2)－hω_c(νi_13/2) approches the minimum,about 75keV.for 78¹⁸⁴Pt106 by using modified Nilsson's parameters κμ.This result is in agreement with the experimental evidence that the big up-bend observed in the yeast band of ¹⁸⁴Pt is caused by the lose alignment of πh_9/2 and νi_13/2.While the standard Nilsson's κμ can not give out such a result.The problem of the orderof πh_9/2 and νi_13/2 alignments needs further investigation.The pretical prediction about the πh_9/2 alignment frequency for neighboring Pt even isotopes should be checked by new experiments.     

Spectral Statistics in the Cranking Model

The difference of spectral statistics properties between single-j and two-j shell models has been studied in the frame of the cranking model.The results show that the system becomes more regular when single-j space (i13/2) is replaced by a two-j shell(g7/2 d5/2),although the basis size of the configuration space is unchanged.However, the degres of chaos of the system changes slightly when configuration space is enlarged by extending the single-j shell (i13/2) to two-j(i13/2 g9/2) shell.     

Lifetimes of High Spin States in an Odd-Proton Nucleus 129Cs

Lifetimes of high spin states in 129Cs axe measured using the Doppler shift attenuation method. The high spin states of 129 Cs axe populated following the fusion evaporation reaction 124 Sn（UB, 6n）129 Cs at a beam energy of 65 MeV. The reduced transition probabilities B（E2） and the transition quadrupole moments Qt in the negativeand positive-paxity bands are deduced. The experimental results indicate that the Qt values of the negative parity band are smaller than those of the positive parity bands, probably due to different γ-deformation driving effects of different proton orbitals. The Qt values exhibit a considerable increase near the band crossing region in these bands. This behavior demonstrates that nuclear shape changing results from the neutron or proton alignments. The signature splitting of the πh11/2 and πg7/2 bands shows the opposite changing trend after backbending due to the h11~2 neutron and h11/2 proton alignments, respectively.
