D. Rudolph et al., SYSTEMATICS OF EVEN-EVEN T-Z=1 NUCLEI IN THE A=80 REGION - HIGH-SPIN ROTATIONAL BANDS IN KR-74, SR-78, AND ZR-82, Physical review. C. Nuclear physics, 56(1), 1997, pp. 98-117
High-spin states of T-z = 1 nuclei were studied with the reactions Ni-
58(Si-28,3 alpha)Kr-74,Ni-58(Si-28,2 alpha)Sr-78, and Ni-58(Si-28,2p2n
)Zr-82 at 130 MeV beam energy. The Gammasphere array in conjunction wi
th the 4 pi charged-particle detector array Microball was used to dete
ct gamma rays in coincidence with evaporated light charged particles.
The known pi = +, alpha = 0 yrast bands were extended to I = 28 (h) ov
er bar at 20 MeV excitation energy. For all three nuclei, a number of
positive- and negative-parity sidebands were established; altogether 1
5 new rotational bands were found. The data are discussed using the pa
iring-and-deformation self-consistent total Routhian surface (TRS) mod
el: High-spin structures of Kr-74 and Sr-78 are governed by the shell
gaps at large prolate deformation while Zr-82 seems to exhibit shape c
oexistence. Nearly identical bands were established which may be expla
ined as arising from the fp orbits acting as spectators at very elonga
ted shapes. The experimental data in these T-z = 1 nuclei are in good
agreement with predictions of the TRS model using conventional T = 1 l
ike-nucleon pairing correlations.
