Erratum: Structure of two-, four-, and six-quasiparticle isomers inYb174andK-forbidden decays [Phys. Rev. C71, 044326 (2005)]

Abstract

The half-life of the 6 + state in 174 Yb of 830(50) µs was incorrectly shown as the mean-life on the level scheme (Fig. 2) and in Table III where transition strengths were listed. Use of the corresponding mean-life of 1198(72) µs and more accurate values for the intensity of the 1265 keV and 628 keV branches leads to the modified transition strengths and hindrances given below, where the main part of the table is reproduced. (Errors are also shown on the reduced hindrances for the 628 and 1265 keV transitions.) The modifications do not affect the original conclusions. Several other typographical errors are corrected in the table, including the unit for magnetic transitions which had been omitted and a degree of forbiddenness of ν = 3 rather than ν = 4 for the 193 keV E2 transition from the 7 − isomer. Also, on p. 8 of the text, in reference to the tunneling estimate for the 6 + , E2 hindrance, the predicted value was given as F = 7.5 × 10 8 . This should have read F = 7.5 × 10 7 which corresponds to the reduced hindrance value f ν = 93 quoted in the text and used in the interpretation.

“…These were chosen to approximately reproduce the odd-even mass differences in the neutron and proton pairing gaps, and to be consistent with previous calculations for tantalum, lutetium and ytterbium nuclei in this region [2,5,7,32].…”

“…[2,5,7,32], for example). They use single-particle energies from a Nilsson calculation, and the Lipkin-Nogami formalism (plus pair-blocking) for calculating pairing correlations.…”

“…10), can be attributed to the 5/2 − , 7/2 − , 7/2 + and 9/2 + neutron orbitals, all lying near the Fermi surface at N = 104. K π = 14 + isomer at 3699 keV [5].…”

“…This has so far encompassed studies of various isotopes of tungsten, tantalum, hafnium, lutetium, ytterbium and erbium (see e.g. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7], and references therein). Deep-inelastic reactions have become a key tool in studying neutron-rich rare-earth nuclei, since they cannot be populated by more conventional reactions.…”

“…The use of γ-ray angular correlations to assign spins and multipolarities is well documented, see, for example, references [10][11][12]. The angular correlation of two γ-rays is described by the following equation:…”
