Excited states of 80 Br have been investigated via the 76 Ge(11 B, α3n) re-October 9, 2012 23:7 WSPC-Proceedings Trim Size: 9in x 6in Wang-Shouyu 240 action and a new ∆I = 1 band has been identified which resides ∼ 400 keV above the yrast band. Based on the experimental results, a chiral character of the two bands within the πg 9/2 ⊗ νg 9/2 configuration is proposed, which provides the first evidence for chirality in the A ∼ 80 mass region.
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.
