The nuclear chiral conundrum with crossing twin bands is investigated with three-dimensional tilted axis cranking covariant density functional theory in a fully self-consistent and microscopic way. The energy spectra and electromagnetic…
Chirality is a distinct signature that characterizes triaxial shapes in nuclei. We report the first observation of chirality in the nucleus $^{135}$Pr using a high-statistics Gammasphere experiment with the $^{123}$Sb($^{16}$O,4n)$^{135}$Pr…
