Phys. Rev. C 58, R3037–R3041 (1998)Band structure in 79Y and the question of T=0 pairing
Gamma rays in the N=Z+1 nucleus 79Y were identified using the reaction 28Si(54Fe,p2n)79Y at a 200 MeV beam energy and an experimental setup consisting of an array of Ge detectors and the Recoil Mass Spectrometer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. With the help of additional γ-γ coincidence data obtained with Gammasphere, these γ rays were found to form a strongly coupled rotational band with rigid-rotor-like behavior. Results of conventional Nilsson-Strutinsky cranked shell model calculations, which predict a deformation of β2∼0.4, are in excellent agreement with the properties of this band. Similar calculations for the neighboring N=Z and N=Z+1 nuclei are also in good agreement with experimental data. This suggests that the presence of the putative T=0 neutron-proton pairing does not significantly affect such simple observables as the moments of inertia of these bands at low spins. © 1998 The American Physical Society URL:
