Structural behavior of 157,158,159Dy in the I=30−50ħ spin regime and the high-spin domain of 158Er up to and above band termination
Abstract
The question of how do the properties of nuclei evolve with increasing excitation energy and angular momentum is one of the current frontiers in nuclear physics. State of the art γ-ray detector systems have been used to investigate this question, in a series of rare-earth nuclei with mass A∼158. Significant extensions to the high-spin excitation spectrum of the N=91, 92, 93 isotopes 157,158,159Dy have been achieved using the high-efficiency γ-ray spectrometers EUROBALL and GAMMASPHERE. These nuclei were populated via weak 3n or αxn exit channels in fusion–evaporation reactions. A total of 84 (99) new transitions, including 2 new bands, were added to the level schemes of 157,158,159Dy. The high-spin behavior and band crossing systematics of the Dy isotopes and of the neighboring N=91, 92, and 93 isotones are discussed in terms of rotational alignments and shape transitions. Cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations, without pairing, have been performed for detailed comparisons with the ve ...
