Abstract

The interplay between angular momentum and particle number (which is the equivalent to the angular momentum in gauge space) is studied. The same technique that is used in the case of rotations in ordinary space can be used in gauge space for investigating the properties of individual quasiparticle levels and the total angular momentum of a nucleus. We study the isotopes of Dy and W, where a back- or upbending behaviour is observed in gauge space around neutron number 86–88 (depending on the spin) and 108, respectively.

Empirical estimates of the proton-neutron interaction and diabolical points
1990, Nuclear Physics, Section A
The use of constant-N contours in the (ω,λ) plane is demonstrated both for establishing diabolical points and for studying regularities and fluctuations in the spectrum of single-particle states. Likewise the average properties and fluctuations of empirical proton-neutron interactions, obtained from double differentials of the total energy with respect to N and Z, are discussed for the ground states of all even-even nuclei with N>40 and as a function of the rotational frequency for the lowest even spin, positive-parity decay sequence of deformed rare earth nuclei.
Spectroscopy of 160Hf
1990, Nuclear Physics, Section A
Excited states in ¹⁶⁰Hf were investigated up to spins $I≈20 h ̵$ using the OSIRIS array of 12 Compton-suppressed Ge detectors and a calorimeter of 48 BGO detectors. The results are interpreted within the framework of the cranked shell model. The systematics of the band crossing frequencies in the Hf isotopes are discussed. An analysis of the high-spin states in terms of double routhians shows the reduction of pair correlations with increasing rotational frequencies.

High-spin spectroscopic study of 167Lu
1990, Nuclear Physics, Section A
Three decay sequences associated with the $72^{+} [404], 92^{−} [514] and 12^{−} [541]$ Nilsson states of ¹⁶⁷Lu have been established to high spin using the ¹²³Sb(⁴⁸Ca,4n)¹⁶⁷Lu reaction. The quasineutron and quasiproton band crossings, the energy signature splittings, and the B(M1)/B(E2) values are discussed and compared with similar quantities for the lighter lutetium isotopes. Configuration-and isotopic-dependent deformations, reflected in such comparisons, indicate that ¹⁶⁷Lu has a larger and more stable prolate deformation than the lighter isotopes and that the $12^{−} [541]$ configuration has a larger quadrupole deformation than the $92^{−} [514]$ configuration. The shift of the AB neutron band crossing occurring in the $12^{−} [541]$ sequences to a larger rotational frequency cannot be understood in terms only of deformation differences. The configuration and neutron-number dependent shapes are also discussed in a “gauge”-space analysis.
Investigation of high spin states in 151Dy
1990, International Journal of Radiation Applications and Instrumentation. Part
High spin states in ¹⁵¹Dy have been studied using the ¹²²Sn $(^{35} Cl xyzγ)$ reaction. Levels up to $I = 712$ have been assigned. The yrast sequence exhibits an irregular dependence on excitation energy characteristics of an independent particle model rather than a deformed rotor. In addition, above $I = 252$ it exhibits an effective moment of inertia of 74 MeV⁻¹ which is 0.64 times the rigid sphere value. The results are discussed in the frame of the systematics found in this mass region. Effective moments of inertia are deduced.
N<inf>p</inf>N<inf>n</inf> correlations in rotating nucle
1989, Nuclear Physics, Section A
The empirical correlation observed for kinematic and dynamic moments of inertia (J⁽¹⁾ and f⁽²⁾, respectively) of Z= 64–78 nuclei with N_pN_n for small angular momenta disappears at large angular momenta. The nearly constant value of $J^{(1)} ( = 60.6 ± 3.0 MeV^{−1}^{2})$ corresponding to the lowest 20⁺ and 22⁺ states of these nuclei, independent of N_pN_n or A, reflects: (i) a shift of the transition from spherical to deformed shapes nearer to the closed shells in rotating systems; (ii) the reduction of pair correlations above the band crossings in rotating systems; and (iii) the occupation of the most alignable configuration just above the N = 82 shell closure. These features emphasize the microscopic nature of the nuclear moment of inertia.
