Identification of a new negative-parity band in ^154Nd and new negative-parity levels in ^152Nd
Abstract
From an experiment with Gammasphere and a ^252Cf spontaneous fission source, a new negative-parity band in ^154Nd and new negative-parity levels in ^152Nd were identified in a triple gamma coincidence study. It is very interesting to note: although there is a constant difference between J1 for the negative-parity band in ^152Nd and J1 for the negative-parity band in ^154Nd, their J2 values are nearly identical. These bands indicate a new kind of identical bands. In addition, these new octupole vibration excitation levels may provide new opportunities to test the calculations about the octupole vibration mode.
