Evolution of Collectivity inKr72: Evidence for Rapid Shape Transition

Abstract: The transition rates from the yrast 2+ and 4+ states in the self-conjugate 72Kr nucleus were studied via lifetime measurements employing the GRETINA array with a novel application of the recoil-distance method. The large collectivity observed for the 4+→2+ transition suggests a prolate character of the excited states. The reduced collectivity previously reported for the 2+→0+ transition was confirmed. The irregular behavior of collectivity points to the occurrence of a rapid oblate-prolate shape transition in … Show more

“…The comparison with QRPA calculations [40] [14] suggest the occurrence of a rapid prolate-oblate shape transition from the purely prolate band identified in [12] towards the ground state. Although suggesting a dominant oblate deformation for the ground state, a certain amount of mixing with the prolate deformed 0 + state was suggested by another experimental work [11].…”

“…It corresponds to a quadrupole deformation parameter |β 2 | = 0.33 (2). A recent determination of the strengths of the deexciting transitions from the 4 + state [14] [14] reinforces the idea of a shape transition to an oblate 0 + 1 ground state or shape mixing between these two low-lying 0 + states. The newer value of the B(E2; 2 + 1 → 0 + 1 ) agrees with the previous result of [13].…”

“…The experiment was performed at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory, using the same experimental setup of [25]. A primary beam of 78 Kr was accelerated to 150 MeV per nucleon by the K500 and K1200 coupled cyclotrons and incident on a 9 Be target to produce a secondary cocktail beam including 74 Kr.…”

“…For even-even nuclei populated in (p,2p) reactions (see, e.g., Refs. [44][45][46][47]), the strongest observed γ decay in the spectrum stems from the transition (2 + 1 ) → 0 + 1 , while the second strongest intensity typically originates from the (4 + 1 ) → (2 + 1 ) transition. The inset in Fig.…”
