Triaxiality of neutron-rich Ge84,86,88 from low-energy nuclear spectra

Abstract: γ -ray transitions between low-spin states of the neutron-rich 84,86,88 Ge were measured by means of in-flight γ -ray spectroscopy at 270 MeV/u. Excited 6 + 1 , 4 + 1,2 , and 2 + 1,2 states of 84,86 Ge and 4 + 1 and 2 + 1,2 states of 88 Ge were observed. Furthermore, a candidate for a 3 + 1 state of 86 Ge was identified. This state plays a key role in the discussion of ground-state triaxiality of 86 Ge, along with other features of its low-energy level scheme. A new region of triaxially deformed nuclei is pro… Show more

“…Triaxiality has been the subject of investigation in the nearby isotopic chains of Ge and Se [38][39][40][41], and is also suggested for adjacent even-even 72 Zn [12,13], although it has not previously been known to exist in 73 Zn. Experimental evidence for triaxial deformation is usually provided by γ -ray spectroscopy, as in the even-even isotopes 74 [43,44].…”

“…The primary objective of the present work was to investigate further this scenario by studying the origin of collective quadrupole effects beyond the N ¼ 50 shell gap, focusing on their evolutions in N ¼ 52 even-even isotones approaching Z ¼ 28 thanks to the measurement of reduced electric quadrupole transition probabilities BðE2; 2 þ → 0 þ Þ. This was an a priori demanding task in view of the accumulation of evidencethough so far only model-dependently inferred-for triaxiality approaching Z ¼ 32 [14,15]. The measurement of 2 þ state lifetimes seemed then the ideal approach, because the extraction of BðE2Þ from Coulomb-excitation cross sections might be distorted either by unmeasured diagonal E2 matrix elements having unexpected values originating from triaxial dynamics or, more importantly, by transitions to yet unobserved or unidentified low-lying 0 þ states originating from shape coexistence.…”

“…Seven, five, and two transitions in 88 Kr, 86 Se, and 84 Ge, already identified in Refs. [15,27,28], respectively, could be studied and the effective or intrinsic lifetimes (uncorrected or corrected for the feeding lifetimes, respectively) of the corresponding decaying states were extracted. We report in Table I results relevant for the present discussion.…”

“…Thus, only bound final states were measured. Details of the experimental campaigns can be found in [24,[35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42]. Events considered for the cross section determination were triggered by a thin plastic scintillator few meters upstream the hydrogen target.…”
