Research paper thumbnail of First observation of the proton emitter 116La: Evidence for strong neutron-proton pairing from proton separation energies and emission probabilities

The 116^{116}116La nuclei were synthesised in the fusion-evaporation reaction 58^{58}58Ni($^{64}$Zn, p4n)$^{116}$La and identified via their proton radioactivity using the MARA mass spectrometer and the silicon detectors placed at its focal plane. Comparisons of the measured proton energy ($E_{p} = 718 \pm 9 $ keV) and half-life ($T_{1/2} = 50 \pm 22$ ms) with values calculated using %microscopic nuclear barrier penetration theory the Universal Decay Law approach indicate that the proton is emitted with an orbital angular momentum l=2l=2l=2 and that its emission probability is enhanced relative to its closest, less exotic, odd-even lanthanum isotope ($^{117}_{~57}$La$_{60}$) while the proton-emission QQQ-value is lower. We propose this to be a signature for the presence of strong neutron-proton pair correlations in this exotic, neutron defici...

The strongest band exhibits two distinct backbends which, in one scenario, may be interpreted as crossings between high-j N=6 neutron orbitals (vi 13/2) and low-j N=4 orbitals (vd 3/2) in an unpaired system.

These bands are interpreted in terms of deformed proton 1-particle-1-hole bands that reach termination at I40(/2). This is the first observation of such collective dipole structures in this mass region. In contrast, many shorter dipole sequences have been associated with weakly deformed structures that generate angular momentum by the shears mechanism (magnetic rotation)

Preliminary results, in the range 27/2-&amp;amp;amp;lt;=Ipi&amp;amp;amp;lt;=43/2-, indicate a transition quadrupole moment of approximately 2.9 eb, which corresponds to a prolate rotor with deformation ε2~0.17.

Terminating bands (or nearly so) based on this proton excitation have been found in nuclei ranging from 107In, up to 114Te, and possibly extending to 54Xe nuclei. The impressive agreement between experimental data and theoretical calculations is also presented. However, recently discovered structures based on proton 1p-1h excitations begin to show disagreement with theoretical calculations. These new bands are also discussed. The current and future directions of research into smooth band termination will be presented.

The aim of the study was twofold. First, to try to explore the reasons behind the contradiction between the theoretically predicted chirality in these nuclei and the recently observed fingerprints that suggest non-chiral interpretation for the previous chiral candidate band doublets. Second, to search for multiple chiral bands of different types in these nuclei. In 134Pr a new πh11/2vh11/2 band has been observed besides the previously known chiral-candidate πh11/2vh11/2 doublet. This new band and the yrare πh11/2vh11/2 band show the expected features of a chiral doublet structure. This fact combined with the observed similarity between the band structures of 134Pr and 132La suggests that chirality might exist in these nuclei. The detailed study of the 103Rh band structure resulted in the observation of two new chiral-doublet looking structures besides the previously known one. This is indicative of possible existence of multiple chiral doublet structure in this nucleus.
