Emerging collectivity from the nuclear structure of $^{132}$Xe: Inelastic neutron scattering studies and shell-model calculations

Nuclear Experiment 2019-06-21 v1 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

Inelastic neutron scattering was used to study the low-lying nuclear structure of 132^{132}Xe. A comprehensive level scheme is presented, as well as new level lifetimes, multipole mixing ratios, branching ratios, and transition probabilities. Comparisons of these data as well as previously measured E2E2 strengths and gg factors are made with new shell-model calculations for 132,134,136^{132,134,136}Xe to explore the emergence of collectivity in the Xe isotopes with NN < 82 near the closed shell.
