Anomalous isomeric decays in 174Lu as a probe of K mixing and interactions in deformed nuclei.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A K(pi)=13+, 280 ns four-quasiparticle isomer in the odd-odd nucleus 174Lu has been identified and characterized. The isomer decays to both K(pi)=7(+) and K(pi)=0(+) rotational bands obtained from the parallel and antiparallel coupling of the proton 7/2+[404] and neutron 7/2+[633] orbitals. K mixing caused by particle-rotation coupling explains the anomalously fast transition rates to the 7+ band but those to the 0+ band are caused by a chance degeneracy between the isomer and a collective state, allowing the mixing matrix element for a large K difference to be deduced.

Favored configurations for four-quasiparticle K isomerism in the heaviest nuclei
Configuration-constrained potential-energy-surface calculations are performed including β6 deformation to investigate high-K isomeric states in nuclei around 254No and 270Ds, the heaviest nuclei where there have been some observations of two-quasiparticle isomers, while data for four-quasiparticle isomers are scarce. We predict the prevalent occurrence of four-quasiparticle isomeric states in t...
متن کاملAbnormal Radioactive Decays out of Long-Lived Super- and Hyper-Deformed Isomeric States
Long-lived high-spin superand hyper-deformed isomeric states, which exhibit themselves by abnormal radioactive decays, have been observed using the O + Au and Si + Ta reactions. They make it possible to understand the production, via secondary reactions, of the long-lived superheavy element with Z = 112 and of the abnormally low energy and very enhanced α-particles seen in various actinide sour...
متن کاملLow-lying level structure of the neutron-rich nucleus
The neutron-rich nuclei Nb and Zr have been populated using in-flight fission of a U beam at 345 MeV/nucleon at the RIBF facility. A T1/2 = 150(30) ns isomer at 313 keV has been identified in Nb for the first time. The low-lying levels in Nb have been also populated following the β-decay of Zr. Based on the difference in feeding pattern between the isomeric and β decays, the decay scheme from t...
متن کاملK Isomerism and Collectivity in Neutron-Rich Rare-Earth Isotopes
Neutron-rich rare-earth isotopes were produced by in-flight fission of 238U ions at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF), RIKEN, Japan. In-flight fission of a heavy, high-intensity beam of 238U ions on a light target provides the cleanest secondary beams of neutron-rich nuclei in the rareearth region of isotopes. In-flight fission is advantageous over other methods of nuclear production,...
متن کاملNuclear isomers: structures and applications
Isomeric states in the nuclei along the rapid proton capture process path are studied by the projected shell model. Emphasis is given to two waiting point nuclei 68Se and 72Kr that are characterized by shape coexistence. Energy surface calculations indicate that the ground state of these nuclei corresponds to an oblate-deformed minimum, while the lowest state at the prolatedeformed minimum can ...
