High-spin states in 139 Pm are investigated via the 116 Cd( 27 Al, 4n) 139 Pm fusion-evaporation reaction at a beam energy of 120 MeV. The previously reported level scheme has been modified because of identifications of some linking and doublet transitions. The revised yrast πh 11/2 band obviously undergoes πh 11/2 → π (h 11/2 ) 3 → π (h 11/2 ) 3 ⊗ν(h 11/2 ) −2 band crossings athω = 0.45 and 0.39 MeV. Two negative-parity dipole bands have been assigned as πh 11/2 ⊗ν(h 11/2 ) −2 and πh 11/2 ⊗ν(h 11/2 ) −4 configurations, respectively, and can be considered as examples of magnetic rotational bands.
Ground-state energy functions of even-even and odd-A nuclei are derived from simple parameter-dependent Interacting Boson Model (IBM) and Interacting Boson-Fermion Model (IBFM) Hamiltonians. Exact nuclear shape-phase diagrams in the two-parameter (η, χ) plane are explicitly described using the energy functions on the basis of the condition of phase equilibrium.
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.
