    Supersymmetry and Identical Bands

    Full text link
    Supersymmetry as applied to identical bands is discussed. A review of the work of the Koeln-Dubna group on this topic is given and examples in 171,172Yb, 173,174Hf, and 195,194Pt are discussed. The role of pseudo-spin in the supersymmetry is investigated. A recent precision lifetime measurement for identical bands in 171,172Yb is discussed.Comment: 14 pages, 5 figures, Erice conference 200

    Quasideuteron states with deformed core

    The M1 transitions between low-lying T=1 and T=0 states in deformed odd-odd N=Z nuclei are analyzed in the frames of the rotor-plus-particle model. Using the representation of an explicit coupling of angular momenta we show that strong coupling of the quasideuteron configurations to the axially deformed core results in a distribution of the total 0+ --> 1+ strength among a few low-lying 1+ states. Simple analytical formulae for B(M1) values are derived. The realization of the M1 sum rule for the low-lying 1+,T=0 states is indicated. The calculated B(M1) values are found to be in good agreement with experimental data and reveal specific features of collectivity in odd-odd N=Z nuclei.Comment: 11 pages, 1 figure, LaTe

    Crossing of two Coulomb-Blockade Resonances

    Full text link
    We investigate theoretically the transport of non--interacting electrons through an Aharanov--Bohm (AB) interferometer with two quantum dots (QD) embedded into its arms. In the Coulomb-blockade regime, transport through each QD proceeds via a single resonance. The resonances are coupled through the arms of the AB device but may also be coupled directly. In the framework of the Landauer--Buttiker approach, we present expressions for the scattering matrix which depend explicitly on the energies of the two resonances and on the AB phase. We pay particular attention to the crossing of the two resonances.Comment: 15 pages, 1 figur

    Quasideuteron configurations in 46V and 58Cu

    Full text link
    The data on low spin states in the odd-odd nuclei 46V and 58Cu investigated with the 46Ti(p,ngamma)46V, 32S(16O,pn)46V and 58Ni(p,ngamma)58Cu reactions at the FN-TANDEM accelerator in Cologne are reported. The states containing large quasideuteron components are identified from the strong isovector M1 transitions, from shell model calculations and from experimental data for low-lying states.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, proceedings of the "Nuclear Structure 2000" conference, East Lansing, Michigan, USA, August 15-19, 2000; to appear in Nucl.

    Alternative Interpretation of Sharply Rising E0 Strengths in Transitional Regions

    Full text link
    It is shown that strong 0+2 -> 0+1 E0 transitions provide a clear signature of phase transitional behavior in finite nuclei. Calculations using the IBA show that these transition strengths exhibit a dramatic and robust increase in spherical-deformed shape transition regions, that this rise matches well the existing data, that the predictions of these E0 transitions remain large in deformed nuclei, and that these properties are intrinsic to the way that collectivity and deformation develop through the phase transitional region in the model, arising from the specific d-boson coherence in the wave functions, and that they do not necessarily require the explicit mixing of normal and intruder configurations from different IBA spaces.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure
