Nuclear Structure at High Spin

这项拨款支持的研究将涉及质量为80的区域内快速旋转原子核物理学的几个方面。光谱学研究将确定随着Z和n的变化而迅速变化的旋转带的性质。惯性矩、电磁跃迁速率、自旋排列、特征分裂和反演的测量将与a =80附近原子核结构的理论模型进行比较。对于更重的、超变形的原子核以及A=80附近的原子核，将进行电单极子跃迁的搜索。此外，还将研究锕系元素区域的八极变形效应。

This grant supports research which will treat several aspects of the physics of rapidly rotating nuclei in the mass 80 region. Spectroscopic studies will determine the properties of rotational bands which are rapidly changing as a function of Z and N. Measurements of moments of inertia, electromagnetic transition rates, spin alignment, and signature splitting and inversion will be compared with theoretical models of the structure of nuclei near A=80. A search for electric monopole transitions will be made for heavier, superdeformed, nuclei as well as for nuclei near A=80. In addition, octupole deformation effects will be studied in the actinide region.
