Levels in ' '' ' Sm were populated by the beta decay of Eu, following (HI, pxn) reactions and on-line mass separation. The beta decay of " Eu with a half-life of 3.9(+0.5j s was observed for the first time. Members of the y band were observed in all three daughter nuclei. Spectroscopic calculations were made using the triaxial rotor model, with all parameters derived microscopically from a Woods-Saxon deformed shell model. Other spectroscopic models were also considered.Comparison with the data supports the characterization of these nuclei in terms of a triaxial intrinsic shape,
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.
