High-spin states in 74 As were studied using the 74 Ge( 4 He, 1p3n) reaction at beam energies of 58.6 and 62.6 MeV. Two positive-and one negative-parity bands have been identified in 74 As. The two positive-parity bands are interpreted as chiral doublet bands, which is supported by the triaxial particle rotor model. Three electric dipole transitions linking the yrast positive-and negative-parity bands were also observed in this work, suggesting the existence of octupole correlations in 74 As.
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.
