Doublet bands observed in $^{124,126,130,132}$Cs isotopes are studied using the recently developed multi-quasiparticle microscopic triaxial projected shell model (TPSM) approach. It is shown that TPSM results for energies and transition probabilities are in good agreement with known energies and the recently measured extensive data on transition probabilities for the bands in $^{126}$Cs. In particular, it is demonstrated that characteristics transition probabilities expected for the doublet bands to originate from the chiral symmetry breaking are well reproduced in the present work. The calculated energies for $^{124,130,132}$Cs are also shown to be in reasonable agreement with the available experimental data. Furthermore, a complete set of the calculated transition probabilities is provided for the doublet bands in $^{124,130,132}$Cs isotopes.
Chiral rotation observed in $^{128}$Cs is studied using the newly developed microscopic triaxial projected shell model (TPSM) approach. The observed energy levels and the electromagnetic transition probabilities of the nearly degenerate chiral dipole bands in this isotope are well reproduced by the present model. This demonstrates the broad applicability of the TPSM approach, based on a schematic interaction and angular-momentum projection technique, to explain a variety of low- and high-spin phenomena in triaxial rotating nuclei.
Inspired by the recent experimental data (Phys. Lett. B {bf 675} (2009) 420), we extend the triaxial projected shell model approach to study the $gamma$-band structure in odd-mass nuclei. As a first application of the new development, the $gamma$-vibrational structure of $^{103}$Nb is investigated. It is demonstrated that the model describes the ground-state band and multi-phonon $gamma$-vibrations quite satisfactorily, supporting the interpretation of the data as one of the few experimentally-known examples of simultaneous occurrence of one- and two-$gamma$-phonon vibrational bands. This generalizes the well-known concept of the surface $gamma$-oscillation in deformed nuclei built on the ground-state in even-even systems to $gamma$-bands based on quasiparticle configurations in odd-mass systems.
The experimentally observed $Delta I = 1$ doublet bands in some odd-odd nuclei are analyzed within the orthosymplectic extension of the Interacting Vector Boson Model (IVBM). A new, purely collective interpretation of these bands is given on the basis of the obtained boson-fermion dynamical symmetry of the model. It is illustrated by its application to three odd-odd nuclei from the $Asim 130$ region, namely $^{126}Pr$, $^{134}Pr$ and $^{132}La$. The theoretical predictions for the energy levels of the doublet bands as well as $E2$ and $M1$ transition probabilities between the states of the yrast band in the last two nuclei are compared with experiment and the results of other theoretical approaches. The obtained results reveal the applicability of the orthosymplectic extension of the IVBM.
A pseudo shell SU(3) model description of normal parity bands in 159-Tb is presented. The Hamiltonian includes spherical Nilsson single-particle energies, the quadrupole-quadrupole and pairing interactions, as well as three rotor terms. A systematic parametrization is introduced, accompained by a detailed discussion of the effect each term in the Hamiltonian has on the energy spectrum. Yrast and excited band wavefunctions are analyzed together with their B(E2) values.
In this contribution, we present the cluster shell model which is analogous to the Nilsson model, but for cluster potentials. Special attention is paid to the consequences of the discrete symmetries of three alpha-particles in an equilateral triangle configuration. This configuration is characterized by a special structure of the rotational bands which can be used as a fingerprint of the underlying geometric configuration. The cluster shell model is applied to the nucleus 13C.
