Octupole correlations in the N=56 neutron-deficient 110Xe

Abstract

The neutron-deficient xenon isotopes have proved to be a good test bench to study octupole correlations. Nuclei around N = Z = 56, like 110Xe, are indeed expected to show some of the largest octupole correlations in the whole Segré chart. An experiment aimed at studying the octupole correlations in the very exotic 110Xe was performed in Jyväskylä, using the γ-ray detector array JUROGAM III coupled to the MARA separator. In this contribution, the preliminary results of the ongoing analysis will be presented.
