K. Starosta et al., LIFETIMES OF LOW-LYING STATES IN LA-125,LA-127 MEASURED BY THE RECOILDISTANCE METHOD, Physical review. C. Nuclear physics, 55(6), 1997, pp. 2794-2801
Lifetimes of low-lying states in La-125,La-127 nuclei were measured us
ing the recoil distance method. The nuclei were produced by the Mo-94(
Cl-35,2p2n) and Cd-112(F-19,4n) reactions, respectively. Experimental
results were described in the framework of the core quasiparticle coup
ling model, It was found that the observed bands can be reasonably wel
l described as pi g(7/2), pi g(9/2) and pi h(11/2) quasiparticle confi
gurations coupled to elongated (beta(2) approximate to 0.28) triaxial
cores. No evidence for a rapid change of the nuclear shape in the pi h
(11/2) band in La-127 is seen in our data.
