Transverse Wobbling in $^{135}$Pr

Nuclear Experiment 2015-02-25 v1 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

A pair of transverse wobbling bands has been observed in the nucleus 135^{135}Pr. The wobbling is characterized by ΔI\Delta I =1, E2 transitions between the bands, and a decrease in the wobbling energy confirms its transverse nature. Additionally, a transition from transverse wobbling to a three-quasiparticle band comprised of strong magnetic dipole transitions is observed. These observations conform well to results from calculations with the Tilted Axis Cranking (TAC) model and the Quasiparticle Triaxial Rotor (QTR) Model.
