Partner relationship between Cd and Sn
isotopes produced from SF of 252Cf.
Difficulties in Analysis
• Approximately we have 200 nuclei.
• If each nucleus emits ~30 g-rays we will have ~4500
g-rays.
• Most of them will be in the energy range of 100-1000
keV.
• Approximately four g-rays per keV.
• We need triple g-ray coincidences.
• To resolve them we need Gammasphere or such
large detector arrays. Measured ggg and gggg
coincidences
• Coincidences with g-rays from the partner nuclei
• Wherever possible, measured gg(q)data.

As a two-body interaction between the valence nucleons, a
realistic effective interaction derived from the CD-Bonnnucleon-nucleon(NN) potential were employed.
133Te 137,138Cs:

as a closed core and letting the valence protons and neutrons
occupy the five single-particle (sp) orbits of the 50–82 shells.
93Sr:
88Sr
as a closed core and letting the 5, 2, 4, and 6 valence
neutrons, respectively, occupy the five levels of the 50-82 shell.
As a two-body interaction between the valence nucleons, a
realistic effective interaction derived from the Bonn-A
nucleon-nucleon(NN) potential were employed.
Single proton and neutron energies have been taken from
the experimental data of 133Sb and 131Sn.

• Particle-hole states in 133Te
are interpreted as coupling
of a neutron h11/2 hole to
the 134Te core.
• Shell model calculations
yield results for bands A, B,
C and D in good agreement
with the experimental data.

Shell model calculations indicated the important role
played by the excitation of the valence protons outside
the Z=50 middle shell and f7/2 valence neutrons outside
the N=82 major shell.
Assuming 88Sr as a closed core, performed shell model
calculations.
• If the intermediate state interacts with a
magnetic field of sufficient strength for a
sufficient length of time, then the
experimentally observed correlation will be
attenuated.
• Specifically, for a constant magnetic field,
B, a nucleus with spin I and magnetic
moment m will precess about the direction
of B with the Larmor precession frequency.

improved rotation vibration model for
deformed nuclei
S.J. Zhu et al., Int. J. Mod. Phys. E18, 1717 (2009)
Multi-phonon gamma vibrational bands have
been observed in even-even nuclei
104,106,108Mo and
108,110,112,114Ru
For odd A nuclei, the multi-phonon gamma
vibrational bands involve the coupling of the
single particle, collective vibrational and
collective rotational motions.
