The boundary of the N=90 shape phase transition: 148Ce

“…A clear slope was observed, corresponding to the lifetime of the state. The lifetime measured [11] was in agreement with the literature value [12], giving confidence in our method of handling the Compton and random background. [12].…”

“…The lifetime measured [11] was in agreement with the literature value [12], giving confidence in our method of handling the Compton and random background. [12]. The Ge-gated LaBr 3 (green) and Ge (blue) spectra can be seen on the top right.…”

γ-softBa146and the role of nonaxial shapes atN≈90

“…Truncated level schemes of the lowest members of the ground-state, β-and γ-vibrational bands for 150 Nd [6], 148 Ce [37], and 146 Ba (this work) are presented in Fig. 6.…”

Two-nucleon transfer reactions as a test of quantum phase transitions in nuclei

“…In order to test the features of the phase transitional behavior of two-nucleon transfer intensities, we have analyzed experiments in Gd, Sm and Nd [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. To this end, we have first diagonalized the Hamiltonian, Eq.…”
