Nuclear Gamma-soft Character in ¹²⁸Ba

We report the properties of gamma soft O(6) of 128Ba isotones with neutron N = 72 using Interacting Vector Boson Model (IVBM), interacting Boson Model (IBM-1), Bohr-Mottelson Model (BM), and Doma-El-Gendy (D-G) relation. The first energy level ( ) and ratio have been investigated which show that 128Ba has gamma-soft character. The curves Eγ/Vs.J of E-GOS of even 128Ba nucleus were compared with the standard curves of vibrational, gamma soft and rotational limits. The staggering factors were studied of available measured data of 128Ba nucleus. The yrast levels of this isotope are calculated by the model of VBMI, IBM-1, BM and D-G and they were compared by measured data. The negative parity band of 128Ba was calculated by IVBM and BM model and compared with experimental values.

"Beat" Patterns of Odd-Even Staggering in Octupole Bands of Light Actinides

The Δ I = 1 staggering (odd-even staggering) in octupole bands of light actinides. is found to exhibit a "beat" behaviour as a function of the angular momentum J, forcing us to revise the traditional belief that this staggering decreases gradually to, zero and then remains at this zero value. Various algebraic models (spf-Interacting Boson Model, spdf-IBM, Vector Boson Model, Nuclear Vibron Model) predict in their su(3) limits constant staggering for this case, being thus unable to describe the "beat" behaviour. An explanation of the "beat" behaviour is given in terms of two Dunham expansions (expansions in terms of powers of I ( I + 1) ) with slightly different sets of coefficients for the ground state band and the negative parity band, the difference in the values of the coefficients being attributed to Coriolis couplings to other negative parity bands.

Spin–Parity Combinations in 18O

Detection of inelastically scattered alpha particles near 180° from the reaction 18O(α,α′)18O has been used to identify natural parity levels in 18O. Energy spectra were recorded for 13 incident energies from 20.0 to 23.4 MeV. Levels at 4.45, 5.09, and 5.25 MeV have been identified as having natural parity, confirming earlier assignments of 1−, 3−, and 2+, respectively. Levels at 5.37 and 5.52 MeV have been identified as having unnatural parity leading to definite assignments of 3+ and 2−, respectively. The spin and parity of the 6.18 MeV level has been restricted to 1− or 2+. Other levels at higher excitation energies have been assigned natural parity, and the implications with regard to the identification of a negative parity band in 18O are discussed.

Concerning a Possible K = 7/2 Negative Parity Band in 29Si

Linear polarization studies of gamma radiation from the reaction 26Mg(α,nγ)29Si show that the parity of the 3.623 MeV [Formula: see text] state is negative, and that the spin and parity of the 5.255 MeV state are [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text]. A previously reported unique [Formula: see text] assignment for the latter state is not confirmed.
