The pairing-plus-quadrupole Hamiltonian is diagonalized in a symmetry restored basis, i.e., the triaxial quasiparticle-states with angular momentum and particle number projections, and applied for chiral doublet bands in 128 Cs. The observed energy spectra and electromagnetic transition probabilities are reproduced well without introducing any parameter. The orientation of the angular momentum in the intrinsic frame is investigated by the distributions of its components on the three principle axes as well as those of its tilted angles. The evolution of the chirality with spin is illustrated and the chiral geometry is demonstrated in the angular momentum projected model for the first time.
The projected shell model with configuration mixing for nuclear chirality is developed and applied to the observed rotational bands in the chiral nucleus 130 Cs. For the chiral bands, the energy spectra and electromagnetic transition probabilities are well reproduced. The chiral geometry illustrated in the K plot and the azithumal plot is confirmed to be stable against the configuration mixing. The other rotational bands are also described in the same framework.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
