Simultaneous analysis of the effective moment of inertia as a function of (hw)' and of i(o) = I~pe(o) -IORB(W) indicates that the yrast negative-parity band (NPB) in 232Thexperiences an unexpected band crossing between Z x = 9 -and 13-. These spins are significantly lower than those predicted before at I= 21-25. In the NPB of 23a'238U such band crossing is not observed at these low spins.
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.
