Search for magnetic rotation in the A~140 region
Abstract
Description
Magnetic dipole bands have been identified in 142,143,144Gd and 141Eu nuclei. The observed bands are based on configurations with small oblate deformation involving high-Omega, h11/2 proton particles and low-Omega, h11/2 neutron holes. Information about the strength of the effective interaction between the constituent nucleons has been deduced using a semiclassical scheme of the coupling of two angular momentum vectors. The experimental results are compared with predictions of tilted axis cranking calculations. The transition from irregular dipole band in 144Gd to more regular ones in lighter Gd nuclei is observed.
