Multiple dipole bands at prolate shapes in Nd136 and their description through the projected shell model

none11Five bands dominated by strong M1 transitions have been observed in the 136Nd nucleus. Two of them consist of only dipole transitions, whereas the other three show also weak crossover transitions. The bands have been firmly connected to lower-spin states. Theoretical calculations using the projected shell model suggest quasiparticle configurations involving two protons and two neutrons for the four lowest-lying bands.noneC. Petrache;Y. Sun;D.
