High-spin states in ¹³⁹Nd nucleus have been reinvestigated with the reaction ¹²⁸Te (¹⁶O, 5n) at a beam energy of 90 MeV. The level scheme has been expanded with spin up to 47/2 h. At the low spin states, the yrast collective structure built on the νh_{11 / 2}^－1 multiplet shows a transitional shape with γ≈32° according to calculations of the triaxial rotor-plus-particle model. Three collective oblate bands with γ~－60° at the high spin states were identified for the first time. A band crossing is observed around hω~0.4 MeV in one oblate band based on the 25/2^－ level.     

Signature splitting in 129Ce

The high spin states of ¹²⁹Ce have been populated via heavy-ion fusion evaporation reaction ⁹⁶Mo (³⁷Cl, 1p3n) ¹²⁹Ce. The γ-γ coincidence and intensity balance used to measure the B(M1; I→I-1)/B(E2; I→I-2) (the probability ratio of the dipole and quadrupole transition) in ν7/2[523] rotational band of ¹²⁹Ce. And the energy splitting (Δe′) has been got through the experimental Routhians. The lifetimes and quadrupole moments Q_t have been extracted from the lineshape analyses using DSAM.

Level scheme in 160Tm towards complete high-spin structure

High-spin states of ¹⁶⁰Tm have been studied through the ¹⁴⁶Nd(¹⁹F, 5n) reaction at a beam energy of 102 MeV. The previously known πh_11/2⊙νi_13/2 yrast band and πh_11/2⊙νh_9/2 side band are confirmed, and several low-lying levels are observed. A 4-quasiparticle band feeding into the yrast band based on the πg_7/2⊙νh_9/2⊙νi_13/2² is suggested. Other two bands are observed and assigned to be based on the πd_3/2⊙νi_13/2 and πg_7/2⊙νi_13/2 configurations, respectively.     

New high spin level scheme of 87Sr

High spin states of the odd-A ⁸⁷Sr were populated by the fusion-evaporation reaction ⁸²Se(⁹Be, 4n) ⁸⁷Sr at a beam energy of 46 MeV. Excited levels of ⁸⁷Sr have been extended up to an excitation energy of 7.4 MeV at spin 31/2ħ. The coupling of a g_9/2 neutron hole to the yrast states of the ⁸⁸Sr core can account for the low-lying states in ⁸⁷Sr. The structure of the higher spin states is discussed by analogy with those of the neighboring odd-A N=49 isotones and possible configurations are proposed.

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...     

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.

Wave function is important for determining decay constants f_DS^- and f_D^-. Using the 5 types of D meson wave functions in the heavy quark limit, we studied the uncertainties of radiative pure-leptonic decays of D_S^-(D^-) mesons. The branching ratios are (1.025390—1.706812) × 10^-5 and (0.953498—1.576725) × 10^-6 for D_S^- and D^- decays, respectively, which are sensitive to the type of wave function.     

Proton alignment in 82Sr investigated by g-factor measurements

The proton alignment in ⁸²Sr has been investigated by the g-factor measurements of the ground state rotational band levels up to spin I=8⁺. The g-factors were measured by a transient-magnetic-field ion implantation perturbed angular distribution method. The obtained g-factors increase with the increasing of spin along the band and clearly show the g_9/2 proton alignment that starts at I=6⁺.     

Systematic analysis of DJ(2580), DJ(2650), DJ(2740), DJ(2760), DJ(3000) and DJ(3000) in the D meson family

In this work, we tentatively assign the charmed mesons D_J(2580), D_J^*(2650), D_J(2740), D_J^*(2760), D_J(3000) and D_J^*(3000) observed by the LHCb collaboration according to their spin, parity and masses, then systematically study their strong decays to ground state charmed mesons plus pseudoscalar mesons with the ³P₀ decay model. Based on these studies, we assign the D_J^*(2760) as the 1D(5/2)3^- state, the D_J^*(3000) as the 1F(5/2)2⁺ or 1F(7/2)4⁺ state, the D_J(3000) as the 1F(7/2)3⁺ or 2P(1/2)1⁺ state in the D meson family. As a byproduct, we also study the strong decays of the states 2P(1/2)0⁺, 2P(3/2)2⁺, 3S(1/2)1^-, 3S(1/2)0^- etc, which will be valuable in searching for the partners of these D mesons.

The interacting boson model with isospin (IBM-3) is applied to study the band structure and electromagnetic transition properties of the low-lying states in the cross-conjugate nuclei ⁴⁴Ti and ⁵²Fe. The isospin excitation states with T=0, 1 and 2 are identified and compared with available data. The E2 and M1 matrix elements for the low-lying states have been investigated. According to this study, the 2₃⁺ state is the lowest mixed symmetry state in the cross-conjugate nuclei ⁴⁴Ti and ⁵²Fe. The excitation energy of the second 0₂⁺ and 2₂⁺ states with T=0 in the nucleus ⁵²Fe are identified. The agreement between the model calculations and data is reasonably good.     

High spin states in neutron-rich 106Tc nucleus

The high spin states of the neutron-rich odd-odd ¹⁰⁶Tc nucleus have been reinvestigated by observing prompt γ-rays from the spontaneous fission of ²⁵²Cf. A previously known collective band is confirmed and expanded, and a new collective band is newly identified. Several levels in previous report in ¹⁰⁶Tc are reexamined and they belong to the members of a band in ¹⁰⁷Tc. The total Routhian surface (TRS) calculations show that the ¹⁰⁶Tc has triaxial shape. The spins and parities as well as the configurations for these bands have been tentatively assigned according to the analysis of the angular momentum alignments.     

Extended collective bands in neutron-rich 109Ru

Levels in the neutron-rich ¹⁰⁹Ru have been studied by observing the prompt γ-rays following the spontaneous fission fragments of ²⁵²Cf. The ground state band and the negative parity bands have been confirmed and extended. A positive parity band with the band head level at 332.5 keV is newly identified and suggested as a single-neutron excitation band built on the 7/2⁺[404] Nilsson orbital. Some structural characteristics of these bands are discussed.     

Shape evolution and test of the critical-point symmetry X(5) in 176Os

This structure disappears at high spin and shows a symmetry rotor character. The shape change of ¹⁷⁶Os is similar to that of ¹⁷⁸Os.     

Reinvestigation of the high spin states in ^（161）Er and enhanced E1 transitions in the N=93 isotones

High-spin states in ¹⁶¹Er have been studied experimentally using the ¹⁵⁰Nd(¹⁶O, 5n) reaction at a beam energy of 86 MeV. The relatively enhanced E1 transitions between the 5/2⁺[642] and 3/2^-[521] bands are observed in ¹⁶¹Er, and the B(E1) values are extracted experimentally. The systematics of the R(E1) values in the N=93 isotones are presented. It is found that the strength of the E1 transitions obviously exhibits angular momentum dependence, and the occurrence of the relatively enhanced E1 transitions could be attributed to octupole softness.
