Superdeformed band at very high spin in Nd-140
(2004) In Physical Review C (Nuclear Physics) 70(6).- Abstract
- A new high-spin superdeformed band has been discovered in Nd-140(60)80. It was populated in the Zr-96(Ca-48,4n) reaction and investigated using the EUROBALL gamma-ray spectrometer array. The band is observed in the approximate spin range of I=36 to 66. It is associated with shell gaps around Z=60 and at N=80 at large deformation. These gaps produce a pronounced minimum in the calculated total Routhian surfaces at a quadrupole deformation of epsilon(2)=0.45. The new band which lies between the high-deformation bands in the Aapproximate to130 region and the superdeformed bands in Aapproximate to150 nuclei provides insight into the development of the deformation between these two regions. Two possible configurations are suggested involving... (More)

Two possible configurations are suggested involving four neutrons of i(13/2) origin (nu6(4)) and either six protons of h(11/2)/h(9/2) origin (pi5(6)) or five protons of h(11/2)/h(9/2) and one of i(13/2) origin (pi5(5)6(1)).
