Measurement of 125Ba High Spin States

The high spin states of ¹²⁵Ba populated via the ¹⁰⁹Ag(¹⁹F,3n) reaction are measured by using a BGO Compton suppressed HPGe detector array.The negative and positive parity bands built respectively on the h_11/2 and g_7/2 neutron hole states are extended to 35/2^－ and 23/2⁺.Backbending occurs in both signature branches of the negative band at the frequencies close to that of the ¹²⁴Ba yrast band.An onset of backbending in the positive band has been seen.     

Experimental Study of High-Spin States in Deformed Odd-Odd 180 Ir

High spin states in deformed odd-odd ¹⁸⁰Ir have been investigated using the ¹⁵⁴Sm (³¹P, 5nγ)¹⁸⁰Ir reaction through the measurements of excitation functions at 150, 155, 160, 165 and 170 MeV beam energies, K X-γ and γ-γ coincidences at 160 MeV. A new level scheme composed of 5 rotational bands has been established. According to the band structure characteristics and the deduced in band B(M1)/B(E2) ratios, the quasiparticle configurations and spin and parity have been proposed to the observed bands. The neutron AB crossing is observed at hω_c≈0.26 MeV for the π1/2^－[541]⊙ν1/2^－[521] and π1/2^－[541]⊙ν5/2^－[512] bands. This AB crossing frequency is close to that in the ν5/2^－[512] band of ¹⁷⁹Os indicating the loss of intruder nature of the π1/2 - orbit. Gradual alignment gain in both the π9/2^－[514]⊙ν7/2⁺[633] and π9/2^－ν5/2^－[512] bands is observed which is similar to the low spin anomaly in alignment in the πh_11/2,πd_5/2 and πi_13/2 bands of neighboring Ir and Re isotopes. Different alignment properties have been discussed in the framework of cranked shell model, and a larger quadrupole deformation is suggested for the bands with π9/2^－[514] orbit involved.     

Study of Nuclear Level Structure in Tc Isotopes with Mass A～100

In the present work, the structures of the excited positive/negative-parity yrast states of ¹⁰¹Tc are discussed by using a projected shell model, and a band diagram calculated for the positive-parity yrast band is also shown in order to extract physics out of numerical results. In addition, the analysis of other three bands originated from 3/2^－[301], 5/2^－[303], and 1/2⁺[431] Nilsson states, respectively, is also performed in the framework of this model. Until recently, very little property about the N=52—54 intermediate nuclei in the Z～42—44 region has been known. In order to understand these "transitional nuclei", we select the nucleus ⁹⁵Tc as an example. So in this work, we also present our investigation of the level structure in the ⁹⁵Tc nucleus.     

Rotational Bands in Odd-Odd 174Re

High spin states in ¹⁷⁴Re have been studied via the ¹⁵⁹Tb (²⁰Ne, 5nγ) ¹⁷⁴Re reaction through excitation function, X-γ and γ-γ coincidence measurements. A stretched E2 cascade has been identified and assigned to be the doubly decoupled band band on the л1/2^－[541]⊙v1/2^－[521] configuration. Other two bands with semidecoupled and strongly coupled characters have been found and their quasiparticle configurations are qualitatively discussed.     

Doublet bands in 128La and systematic features of energy separationof doublet bands observed in the A～130 mass region

High spin states of ¹²⁸La have been studied through the fusion-evaporation reaction ¹¹⁸Sn(¹⁴N, 4n)¹²⁸La at a beam energy of 69 MeV. A positive-parity side band with the same configuration as that of the yrast band has been identified. Moreover, it is noted that the energy separation ΔE(I)=E(I)_side-E(I)_yrast of all doublet bands reported in odd-odd nuclei in the A～130 mass region exhibit a staggering pattern systematically, and they stagger up at even-spin and stagger down at odd-spin.     

Study of Collective Rotational Bands in 179Pt

High-spin states in ¹⁷⁹Pt have been studied experimentally using the ¹⁴⁹Sm(³⁵Cl, p4n) fusion-evaporation reaction at beam energies of 164—180MeV. Measurements of γ-ray excitation function, X-γ coincidences and γ-γ-t coincidences were carried out with 13 BGO(AC) HPGe and 3 LOAX detectors. Based on the measured results, three rotational bands built on intrinsic states assigned to the 1/2^－[521], 5/2^－[512] and 7/2⁺[633] Nilsson configurations have been established for ¹⁷⁹Pt. It has been observed that the aligned angular moment in the 1/2^－[521] band increases suddenly around hω=0.27MeV. The big signature splitting has been observed in the 7/2⁺[633] band. These phenomena are discussed by referring to the systematics of the level structure in the Pt isotopes and isotones of ¹⁷⁹Pt.     

Identification of Collective Bands in Neutron-Rich 113Ru Nucleus

Through measuring high-fold prompt γ- ray coincidence events following the spontaneous fission of 252 Cf with the Gammasphere detector array, new level scheme in the very neutron-rich odd-A 113Ru nucleus has been established. An intruder collective band based on 11/2^－ level has been identified with spin up to 31/2 k and excitation energy 3.6 MeV. This band most probably originates from vh_11/2. intruder orbital. Another collective band probably built on 9/2^－ level is also observed. Some important characteristics of the collective bands have been systematically discussed.     

A New Level Scheme of 127I

Study of in beam γ ray spectroscopy of ¹²⁷I has been performed using ¹²⁴Sn(⁷Li, 4n)¹²⁷I reaction at 32 MeV beam energy. A new level scheme of ¹²⁷I has been established including 25 new levels and 52 new γ transitions. Negative parity levels based on 11/2^－ π h_11/2 particle state have been observed up to (35/2^－) extending our knowledge of decoupled structures to the heavier iodine isotope. Two ΔI=2 yrast positive-parity levels have been proposed to be associated mainly with the πg_7/2 configuration due to observations of several strong inter band transitions. Two weakly populated ΔI=2 positive parity levels and a high-lying ΔI=1 cascade have been newly identified and tentatively assigned as πd_5/2 one-quasiparticle and three quasiparticle bands, respectively.     

Band Structure in Doubly Odd 170Ta

High spin states in ¹⁷⁰Ta have been studied via ¹⁵⁹Tb(¹⁶O,5nγ)¹⁷⁰Ta reaction at 105MeV.Three rotational bands are observed,among which one coupled band and an unfavored ΔI=2 E2 squence are newly found in this owrk.The possible quasiparticle configurations of these bands are discussed.     

Collective Band Structures in Neutron-Rich Odd-A 145,147Ce Nuclei

Through study of the prompt r-rays emitted in the spontaneous fission of ²⁵²Cf, high spin states of neutron-rich odd-A ^145,147Ce nuclei have been investigated. The levels in ¹⁴⁷Ce have been extended. A collective band in ¹⁴⁵Ce have been identified for the first time. The results from the particle rotor model calculations indicate that the yrast bands in ¹⁴⁵Ce and ¹⁴⁷Ce originate from vi_13/2 orbital coupling and the ground states of ¹⁴⁵Ce and ¹⁴⁷Ce originate from (vh_9/2,vf_7/2) and vh_9/2 configiration, respectively. No obvious octupole deformation was observed in these two isotopes, but a side band obtained in ¹⁴⁷Ce may show some octupole correlations.     

Band structure of118Xe

High spin states of¹¹⁸Xe have been investigated by means of γ ray spectroscopy using the⁹²Mo(²⁹Si,2pn) at a bombarding energy of 110 MeV. Several new side bands as well as the yrast band were established. A band crossing between the ground state and super bands was observed at ?ω_c = 0.39 MeV. A negative parity band with two quasi particle excitation, and a quasi γ band were also identified.     

Study for Superdeformed Bands in A～190 Region with Quantum Group Uqp(u2) Model

superdeformed bands in the A～190 region are systematically analyzed by using the twoparameter expansion of quantum group U_qp(u₂) Model. The calculated results of E2 transition γ ray energies are in agreement with experimental data. According to three different methods for the spin assignment of rotational bands, the spin values of the band head I₀ of the yrast SD bands in ¹⁹⁴Hg(1) and ¹⁹⁴Pb(1) are assigned. Furthermore, the physical meaning of the nuclear softness is discussed, and these nuclear softness values of a signature partner are almost equal.     

Electromagnetic Transition Rates and Deformation Feature in 130Ce

Lifetimes of the excited states in light rare-earth nucleus ¹³⁰Ce have been measured using heavy ion reaction ¹¹⁶Sn(¹⁶O,2n)¹³⁰Ce at beam energy of 73MeV through analyzing the Doppler-broadened line shapes. The reduced transition probabilities B(E2) are extracted from these measurements. The experimental results show that the previously reported anomalously high B(E2) value has not been observed in the present work. The transition quadrupole moment for the yrast band varies with spin and corresponds to a triaxial deformation with γ≈7°.     

Ultrahigh Spin Structures in 157,158,159Er

Rotational structures at ultrahigh spin in ^157,158,159 Er have been investigated with the configuration-dependent cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky approach. Configurations of observed bands are assigned and the corresponding deformations are given theoretically. The calculations suggest that one of ultrahigh spin bands in ^158 Er is triaxial highly deformed and the other is normal-deformed, while both ultrahigh spin bands in ^157Er are suggested to be triaxial highly deformed. The possible ultrahigh spin bands in ^159Er are predicted to be triaxial highly deformed and have shape coexistence in the same configuration. The configurations with two neutron holes in the Nose = 4 orbitals and two neutron holes in the h11/2 orbitals in ^159Er are favoured for ultrahigh spin states but unfavoured for band termination, which is similar to ultrahigh spin bands in ^157,15SEr.     

High-spin yrast and non-yrast bands in 176Os, 178Os and 180Os

High-spin yrast and non-yrast states have been identified in ¹⁷⁶Os, ¹⁷⁸Os and ¹⁸⁰Os using (¹⁶O, xn) reactions, and γ-ray techniques. Band crossing anomalies are observed in each of the positive-parity yrast bands. The magnitude of these anomalies decreases with decreasing neutron number, an effect attributed to the change in the moment of inertia of the ground state rotational bands. A 23 ns isomer, predominantly K^π = 7^?, is identified at 1930 keV in ¹⁸⁰Os. The configuration of this isomer is discussed on the basis of the properties of its rotational band. Negative parity, odd and even spin, sideband sequences are observed in each isotope. Their relationship to rotation-aligned octupole and 2-quasiparticle bands is discussed from their excitation energies, band spacings, and decay properties. Detailed calculations for Coriolis mixed bands are carried out for the likely 2-quasiproton and 2-quasineutron configurations. An anomaly observed at spin 17 in the odd-spin negative-parity sequence in ¹⁸⁰Os is attributed to a band crossing with a fourquasiparticle configuration.     

High Spin States and Shape Coexistence in 134Ce

high spin states in ¹³⁴Ce nucleus have been studied by using the heavy–ion induced reaction ¹²²Sn(¹⁶O,4n) carried out at china institute of atomic energy. the early level scheme has been extended with spin up to 22. however,our result is different from that in a recent publication,and the magnetic rotation bands reported there have not been confirmed. our observed level structures may be interpreted as shape coexistence. the 10+ state at the backbending with h_11/2 quasineutron configuration has an oblate deformation with an asymmetry parameter γ≈–60°(lund convention),and the 10+ isomer is a yrast trap of prolate deformation with γ≈–120°,whereas the other signature partner bands with h_11/2 and g_7/2 proton configuration probably have a prolate deformation with γ≈0°.     

Octupole Deformed Band and Quasi-γ Band in 146Ce Nucleus

High-spin structures in ¹⁴⁶Ce nucleus have been re-investigated by measuring the prompt γ rays from spontaneous fission of ²⁵²Cf. The previously reported level scheme of ¹⁴⁶Ce has been updated. The octupole deformed collective bands have been extended up to higher spin states. A possible quasi-γ band structure was examined and reconstructed according to our data analysis. In addition, the reflection asymmetric shell model was applied to describe the octupole deformed bands in ¹⁴⁶Ce, and the calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental data at lower spins.     

Collective Bands in Neutron-Rich 107Ru Nucleus

Through measuring prompt γ-rays emitted in the spontaneous fission of ²⁵²Cf with higher statistic data,level structures in the neutron rich,odd A¹⁰⁷Ru nucleus have been re investigated. New level scheme of ¹⁰⁷Ru has been established. The ground state band was extended with spin up to 27 2h. The νh_11/2 band structure observed in our previous publication has been confirmed and extended. These results clear up the inconsistence between our earlier work and results from another experiment published recently. A collective band built on (9/2^－) level has been observed for the first time. Some important features of the level scheme have been discussed.     

Collective Dand Structures in Doubly Odd 136La Nucleus

Using heavy-ion nuclear reaction and in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy technique,high spin states of ¹³⁶La have been studied. The nuclear reaction used is ¹³⁰Te(¹¹B,5n) with a beam energy 60MeV. The level scheme with three collective band structures has been updated with spin up to 20h. The collective backbending has been observed in $\uppi h_{11/2}\otimes \upnu h_{11/2}$ band. According to the TRS calculations,this backbending is due to the alignment of a pair of h_11/2 neutrons. The signature splitting and inversion for the $\uppi h_{11/2}\otimes \upnu h_{11/2}$ band were also discussed. Other two bands based on $12^-$ and $16^+$ levels were proposed as oblate deformation with $\gamma\approx -60^\circ$. They most probably originate from four- and six- quasiparticle configurations, that is,$\uppi h_{11/2}\otimes\upnu g_{7/2} h_{11/2}^2$ and $\uppi g_{7/2}\otimes\upnu g_{7/2}^2 d_{5/2}h_{11/2}^2$ respectively.     

Configuration-Dependent Bands in 169Re

High-spin states in ¹⁶⁹Re were studied and resulted in the identification of a strongly coupled band based on the 9/2^－[514] Nilsson state and a decoupled band built on the h_9/2 intruder proton orbital (nominally 1/2^－[541]). The cranked shell nodel calculations present configuration-dependent deformations that can explain the different band crossing frecpiencies. The experimental 9/2^－[514] band in Re shows the largest signature splitting at low spin among the known odd mass Re isotopes. After the alignment of a pair of the i_13/2 neutrons, the phase of the splitting is inverted with a significantly reduced amplitude. Additionally, a three-quasipariticle band was observed and assigned to be built likely on the π9/2^－[514]⊙AE configuration.
