Excited states inRa were studied by means of the Pb( C, 3n) reaction at 65 MeV. The investigation was made with 12 Compton-suppressed Ge detectors and a multicopnter array. Transitions in Ra were selected by requiring appropriate conditions on fold and sum energy. The proposed level scheme shows two sidebands with alternating parity structure decaying to the ground-state band. It is consistent with a recent description of Ra in the framework of the reflection-asymmetric meanfield approach, which predicts a K = z ground-state band and two low-lying bands with quantum numbers K =and K = -. 2 2' PACS number(s): 25.70.z, 23.20.Lv, 27.80.+w
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
