The sudden onset of the band crossing for the aligned πg9/2 orbitals: a possible transition of a triaxial shape from prolate to oblate?
نویسندگان
چکیده
The yrast states were observed up through both the first and second band crossings in both 112Ru and 116Pd using the 238U(α, f) fusion–fission reaction. The rotational alignment of the g9/2 proton-pair is responsible for the second band crossing. This assignment is based on the amount of angular momentum gained in the alignment and a similar crossing frequency is observed for the rotational band based on the h11/2 neutron orbital in both 111Ru and 117Pd. The closeness of the crossing frequency between the first and second band crossings, which happens unexpectedly within a rotational frequency span of ≈ 50 keV, most likely is caused by a transition of a triaxial shape from prolate to oblate in neutron rich Ru and Pd nuclei. 2003 Elsevier Science B.V.

Transition from Prolate to Oblate to Triaxial Shapes in 15 sYb
The decay of the entry states in ISIYb populated in the reactions of 149 MeV ,oNe with ,44Nd and lUNd has been investigated with a 4" multidetector system gated by a Ge counter. The average excitation energy, the ,.-ray spectra and the angular distribu tions as a function of multiplicity show several changes in the ,.-ray decay. These changes suggest a transition from prolate to particle aligne...
متن کاملOn the Mechanism of Signature Inversion in the Doubly Odd Nuclei
Several mechanisms have been proposed for signature inversion in the structure of A ∼ 80 odd-odd nuclei, but the corresponding theoretical calculations have not been conclusive. In the present work, the angular momentum projected shell model (PSM) is applied to the study of the nuclei Rb. The results of the calculations regarding the positive parity yrast band for the configuration πg9/2 ⊗ νg9/...
متن کاملMeasuring the Three-dimensional Structure of Galaxy Clusters. Ii. Are Clusters of Galaxies Oblate or Prolate?
The intrinsic shape of galaxy clusters can be obtained through a combination of X-ray and SunyaevZeldovich effect observations once cosmological parameters are assumed to be known. In this paper we discuss the feasibility of modelling galaxy clusters as either prolate or oblate ellipsoids. We analyze the intra-cluster medium distribution for a sample of 25 X-ray selected clusters, with measured...
متن کاملOn the deprojection of clusters of galaxies combining X-ray, Sunyaev-Zeldovich temperature decrement and gravitational lensing maps
Knowledge of the intrinsic shape of galaxy clusters is very important in investigating cosmic structure formation and astrophysical processes. The reconstruction of the 3-dimensional structure usually relies on deprojecting 2-dimensional X-ray, Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) and/or gravitational lensing observations. As known, a joint analysis of these data sets can provide the elongation of the cluste...
متن کاملShapes of neutron - rich A ≈ 190 odd - odd nuclei
Following from the prediction by Hilton and Mang [1] of “giant backbending” in 180Hf, caused by a collective oblate rotational band crossing the prolate ground-state band, there has been further theoretical investigation of this phenomenon [2–5]. The calculated shape change is understood to be induced by the effects of rotation alignment. It is related to the prediction of a ground-state shape ...
