Brs. Babu et al., IDENTIFICATION OF GAMMA-TRANSITIONS IN BA-147, CE-149, AND ND-151,ND-153, Physical review. C. Nuclear physics, 54(2), 1996, pp. 568-571
The gamma transitions in Ba-147, Ce-149, and (ND)-N-151,153 have been
identified from gamma-gamma-gamma, gamma-gamma, x-gamma, and x-gamma-g
amma coincidence studies of spontaneous fission of Cf-252. The yrast p
ositive parity band in Ce-149 is assigned to an i(13/2), neutron favor
ed signature, The yrast negative parity band in Ce-149 is assigned a h
(9/2) proton favored signature. The positive parity band in Nd-151 cor
responds to tile positive parity band in Ce-149. The negative parity b
and in Nd-153 corresponds to the negative parity bands of Ce-149 and E
r-161. Th, band observed in Ba-147 is built on the h(9/2) orbital. The
plots for J(1) in these isotopes are remarkably similar, supporting o
ur assignments.
