Interplay between octupole and quasiparticle excitations in178Hgand180Hg

Abstract: Excited structures in the Zϭ80, 178 Hg (Nϭ98), and 180 Hg (Nϭ100) isotopes have been investigated with the Gammasphere spectrometer in conjunction with the recoil-decay tagging technique. The present data extend the previously known ground-state bands to higher spin and excitation energy. Negative parity bands with a complex decay towards the low spin states arising from both the prolate-deformed and the nearly spherical coexisting minima have been observed for the first time in both nuclei. It is shown that t… Show more

“…Excited levels in 178 Hg up to J π = 20 + have been investigated by Kondev et al using the Gammasphere spectrometer coupled to the FMA [20,26]. The low statistics obtained for the β-γ coincidences prevented the identification of γ rays in 178 Hg after β decay of 178 Tl, so no useful β-γ information was available for 178 Tl from the present study.…”

“…In principle, it is possible that the K π = 5 − band could contain octupole admixtures, which would cause a lower spin for the (unobserved) band head, and a corresponding decrease in the K value associated with the band. Such behavior has been observed in the Os and Hf isotopes [26,27], where it has been proposed that the low-lying octupole vibration is crossed at moderate frequency by a shape-driving, two-quasiproton excitation. In fact, a J π = 3 − state has been proposed in 128 Xe [3] at an excitation energy of 2138.6 keV, but it is not observed in the current work.…”
