The level structure of 136Nd has been investigated using the 100Mo(40Ar, 4n) reaction and the JUROGAM
II+RITU+GREAT setup. The level scheme has been extended significantly. Many new bands have been
identified both at low and high spin, among which are five nearly degenerate bands interpreted as chiral partners.
Excitation energies, spins, and parities of the previously known bands are revised and firmly established, and
some previously known bands have been revised. Configurations are assigned to the observed bands based on
cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations. The band structure of 136Nd is now clarified and the various types of
single-particle and collective excitations are well understood.

F.; Stryjczyk, M.; Van Duppen, P.; Vinals, S.; Virtanen, V.; Warr, N.; Wrzosek-Lipska, K.; Zielinska, M. (American Physical Society, 2020)There is sparse direct experimental evidence that atomic nuclei can exhibit stable “pear” shapes arising from strong octupole correlations. In order to investigate the nature of octupole collectivity in radium isotopes, ... -
Properties of spherical and deformed nuclei using regularized pseudopotentials in nuclear DFT
Bennaceur, K; Dobaczewski, J. J; Haverinen,T. K.; Kortelainen, M. (Institute of Physics, 2020)We developed new parameterizations of local regularized finite-range pseudopotentials up to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N3LO), used as generators of nuclear density functionals. When supplemented with zero-range ... -

(American Physical Society, 2018)The occurrence of octupolar shapes in the Ba isotopic chain was recently established experimentally up to N = 90 . To further extend the systematics, the evolution of shapes in the most neutron-rich members of the ... -
New insights into triaxiality and shape coexistence from odd-mass 109Rh
Bucher, B.; Mach, H.; Aprahamian, A.; Robledo, L. M.; Simpson, G. S.; Rissanen, Juho; Ghiţă, D. G.; Olaizola, B.; Kurcewicz, W.; Äystö, Juha; Eronen, Tommi; Fraile, L.

K.; Weber, Christine (American Physical Society, 2018)Rapid shape evolutions near A = 100 are now the focus of much attention in nuclear science. Much of the recent work has been centered on isotopes with Z 40, where the shapes are observed to transition between near-spherical ...
