Collective states have been observed in inelastic deuteron scattering on a target of 226Ra. Spectra were measured at scattering angles of 90°, 125° and 140°. The reaction products were analyzed in a magnetic spectrograph and detected in photographic emulsions. The 2+ strength is found to be highly fragmented in 226Ra. The transition strengths deduced for the assigned 3− states at 320 and 1119 keV are compatible with both a vibrational and static octupole deformed model description for 226Ra.
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.
