Abstract

From the observed quadrupole splitting of the 5g-4f X-ray transition in π-¹⁶⁵Ho we determine the spectroscopic quadrupole moment of ¹⁶⁵Ho to be Q = 3.47±0.11 b. The strong interaction shift and the width of the 4f level are found to be ϵ₀ = 0.35±0.08 keV and Γ₀ = 0.21±0.04 keV, respectively.

Nuclear Structure and Decay Data for A=165 Isobars
2024, Nuclear Data Sheets
Experimental nuclear spectroscopic data are compiled and evaluated for 18 known nuclides of mass 165 (Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Hf, Ta, W, Re, Os, Ir, Pt). Detailed information is presented for each reaction and decay experiment. Combining all the available data, recommended values are provided for energies, spins and parities, and half-lives of levels, with energies, branching ratios and multipolarities of γ radiations, and characteristics of β and α radiations in radioactive decays. ¹⁶⁵Dy, ¹⁶⁵Ho, ¹⁶⁵Er, ¹⁶⁵Tm, ¹⁶⁵Yb, ¹⁶⁵Lu and ¹⁶⁵Hf are among the most extensively studied nuclides via decay and high-spin gamma-ray spectroscopy measurements, followed by limited data for ¹⁶⁵Tb, ¹⁶⁵Ta, ¹⁶⁵W, ¹⁶⁵Re, and ¹⁶⁵Os. No excited states have yet been identified in ¹⁶⁵Sm, ¹⁶⁵Gd, and ¹⁶⁵Pt, while for ¹⁶⁵Eu and ¹⁶⁵Ir, information is available for only the g.s. and an isomer, but with no γ rays. This work supersedes earlier evaluation of A=165 nuclides by 2006Ja09.
Nuclear Data Sheets for A = 165
2006, Nuclear Data Sheets
Nuclear spectroscopic information for known nuclides of mass number 165 (Eu,Gd,Tb,Dy,Ho,Er,Tm,Yb,Lu,Hf,Ta,W,Re,Os,Ir) with Z = 63 to 77 and N = 102 to 88 have been evaluated and presented together with adopted energies and Jπ of levels in these nuclei. No excited state data are yet available for ¹⁶⁵Eu, ¹⁶⁵Gd and ¹⁶⁵Tb. In ¹⁶⁵Re an isomer is known at about 50 keV; in ¹⁶⁵Os, about 15 gamma rays are known but no level scheme has been proposed; and in ¹⁶⁵Ir, the the ground state has not yet been identified, but an isomeric state at about 180 keV has been established. Fairly rich structures are known for all the other A = 165 nuclides. Triaxial Superdeformed structures are known in ¹⁶⁵Lu (five SD bands). This evaluation supersedes previous full evaluations of A = 165 by 1987Pe01 and 1974Bu29, a midstream evaluation (in update mode) by 1992Pe04 with literature cutoff date of November 1990, and evaluation of ¹⁶⁵Lu nuclide by 1999Si16. Extensive new data have since become available for most of the nuclides of A = 165 and have been included in the current evaluation.

An improved parametrization of the optical potential for pionic atoms
1990, Nuclear Physics, Section A
We try to find an improved phenomenological optical potential for pionic atoms in two steps. First, we perform a new fit of the parameters in the standard optical potentials by using a large data base of 140 pionic atom data. A χ² is obtained that is substantially lower than with any previous parameter set. In a second step, we extend the number of parameters by using a more general form for the terms quadratic in the nuclear density. This extended version yields a reduction of the χ² by about a factor of two. The new fit includes a good description of shifts and widths of the deeply bound 3d orbits in heavy nuclei such as ¹⁸¹Ta, ^natRe, ^natPt, ¹⁹⁷Au, ²⁰⁸Pb and ²⁰⁹Bi. The value of the additional parameters in the extended version are difficult to interpret in the context of the chosen form of the optical potential and indicate that higher-order effects play a role.

Nuclear quadrupole deformation effects on pionic and kaonic X-rays
1981, Nuclear Physics, Section A
X-rays from pionic and kaonic In, Ho and Ta and from pionic Bi have been measured in order to determine quadrupole moments from the hyperfine splitting. The strong interaction monopole shifts ε₀ and widths Γ₀ have been deduced and compared with predictions of a deformed optical-model calculation. Data have been obtained for the pionic 3d levels in In, Ho, ¹⁶⁸Er, Yb and Ta; pionic 4f levels in Ho, ¹⁶⁸Er, Yb, Ta and Bi and kaonic 6h levels in Ho, Yb and Ta.
