Three ΔI=1 bands with the πg_{9/2}⊗νg_{9/2} configuration have been identified in _{35}^{74}Br_{39}. Angular distribution, linear polarization, and lifetime measurements were performed to determine ...the multipolarity, type, mixing ratio, and absolute transition probability of the transitions. By comparing these experimental observations with the corresponding fingerprints and the quantum particle rotor model calculations, the second and third lowest bands are, respectively, suggested as the chiral partner and one-phonon wobbling excitation built on the yrast band. The evidence indicates the first chiral wobbler in nuclei.

Mn proton capture reaction has been used to study the photon strength functions by utilizing primary gamma ray transitions from the entry states to discrete states of ...known spins and parities. The reaction was conducted with the 3 MV Tandetron accelerator at iThemba LABS which delivered proton beams of 2.5 to 2.740, 2.760 to 3.0 MeV and 3.675 to 4.498 MeV in intervals of 20-25 keV with beam currents of up to 5

The pygmy dipole resonance (PDR) thus far has been described microscopically as a cluster of 1− states around the neutron separation energy (Sn). This study is an attempt to probe the nature of the ...PDR, specifically the single-particle or collective character of these states. One-step transfer reactions represents a good probe for this study due to their selectivity in exciting single-particle states. The 97Mo(p,d) 96Mo and 95Mo(d,p)96Mo reactions, were used to populate the nucleus of interest. The experiment was conducted at the INFN-LNS facility in Catania, Italy. The ejectiles were momentum-analysed by the MAGNEX spectrometer and detected by its focal-plane detector. In this paper, preliminary results for the 97Mo(p, d) 96Mo reaction will be presented.
With its unique combination of excellent timing properties and good energy resolution, LaBr3:Ce detectors have proven to be effective tool in gamma spectroscopy and in particular fast-timing studies. ...Eight 2” x 2” LaBr3:Ce detectors used in conjunction with the 16 channel all-digital waveform 500 MHz acquisition module, PIXIE-16 were commissioned at iThemba Laboratory for Accelerator Based Sciences, South Africa. The results presented here give insight of the performance of the 2” x 2” LaBr3 detectors when used in conjunction with a digital pulse processing (DPP) module and electronic read-out module. Initial commissioning experiments were done using radioactive sources, including 60Co, 152Eu and 67Ga. The detectors were then exposed to an in-beam environment using the AFRODITE array with targets 45Sc and 64Ni, with a proton beam energy of 27 MeV.

Low- and medium-spin negative-parity bands of Os187 have been studied using the AFRican Omnipurpose Detector for Innovative Techniques and Experiments (AFRODITE) array, following the ...W186(He4,3n)Os187 reaction at a beam energy of 37 MeV. In the current work, all the previously known bands have been significantly extended and three new bands have been added to the level scheme. The angular distribution ratio (RAD) and polarization measurements have been used to assign spin and parity to the observed new levels. The configurations of some of the bands have been modified. The observed bands are interpreted within the cranked shell model (CSM) and cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky-Bogoliubov (CNSB) formalism. Comparison with experimental data shows good agreements. Systematic comparison with the neighboring Os185 isotope is also discussed.
Excited states in Ba-131 and Ce-133 were studied using in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy through the Sn-122(C-13, 4n) Ba-133 and Te-125(C-12, 4n) Ce-133 reactions, respectively. A strongly coupled band, ...associated with the nu g(7/2) 4047/2(+) configuration, was identified in Ba-131 and Ce-133. It is the first time to observe the nu g(7/2) 4047/2(+) bands in the N = 75 isotones. The signature partners exhibit considerable energy splitting in comparison with those in the pi g(7/2) 4047/2(+) bands in the odd-A Ta and Re isotopes. Extensive cranked shell model and quasiparticle-plus-triaxial-rotor model calculations reveal the origin of the signature splitting, which depends not only on the triaxiality, but also on the configuration mixing with nearby low- j orbitals.
