Interplay between single-particle and collective effects in the odd-A Cu isotopes beyond N=40.

چکیده
Collective properties of the low-lying levels in the odd-A 67-73Cu were investigated by Coulomb excitation with radioactive beams. The beams were produced at ISOLDE and postaccelerated by REX-ISOLDE up to 2.99 MeV/u. In 67,69Cu, low-lying 1/2(-), 5/2(-), and 7/2(-) states were populated. In 71,73Cu, besides the known transitions deexciting the single-particle-like 5/2(-) and core-coupled 7/2(-) levels, gamma rays of 454 and 135 keV, respectively, were observed for the first time. Based on a reanalysis of beta-decay work and comparison with the systematics, a spin 1/2(-) is suggested for these excited states. Three B(E2) values were determined in each of the four isotopes. The results indicate a significant change in the structure of the odd-A Cu isotopes beyond N=40 where single-particle-like and collective levels are suggested to coexist at very low excitation energies.

The single-particle spectrum of nuclei with large neutron excess is predicted by some approaches [1] to become similar to that of a harmonic oscillator with a spin-orbit term (no additional~l2 term) and thus reinforce some of the harmonic oscillator magic numbers. This is the case of N=40, and indeed experimental results accumulating in the past few years [2,3] indicate the presence of a subshe...
متن کاملAlgebraic-eikonal approach to medium energy proton scattering from odd-mass nuclei.
We extend the algebraic-eikonal approach to medium energy proton scattering from odd-mass nuclei by combining the eikonal approximation for the scattering with a description of odd-mass nuclei in terms of the interacting boson-fermion model. We derive closed expressions for the transition matrix elements for one of the dynamical symmetries and discuss the interplay between collective and single...
متن کاملResponse function beyond mean field of neutron - rich nuclei
The damping of single-particle and collective motion in exotic isotopes is a new topic and its study may shed light on basic problems of nuclear dynamics. For instance, it is known that nuclear structure calculations are not able, as a rule, to account completely for the empirical single-particle damping. In this contribution, we present calculations of the single-particle self-energy in the ca...
متن کاملShapes of neutron - rich A ≈ 190 odd - odd nuclei
Following from the prediction by Hilton and Mang [1] of “giant backbending” in 180Hf, caused by a collective oblate rotational band crossing the prolate ground-state band, there has been further theoretical investigation of this phenomenon [2–5]. The calculated shape change is understood to be induced by the effects of rotation alignment. It is related to the prediction of a ground-state shape ...
متن کاملA systematic study of Zr and Sn isotopes in the Relativistic Mean Field theory
The ground-state properties of Zr and Sn isotopes are studied within the relativistic mean field theory. Zr and Sn isotopes have received tremendous attention due to various reasons, including the predicted giant halos in the neutron-rich Zr isotopes, the unique feature of being robustly spherical in the region of 100 Sn ∼ 132 Sn and the particular interest of Sn isotopes to nuclear astrophysic...
