Structural Evolution in the (N,Z,Iπ) Coordinate Frame for A∼100.

Multinucleon transfer reactions between a thin ¹⁰⁰Mo target and a ¹³⁶Xe beam at an energy of 700 MeV have been used to investigate the evolution of structure with increasing angular momentum in a range of nuclei with A∼100. The use of kinematically complete experiments coupled with isomer tagging allow the selection of specific exit channels. The evolution from quasi-vibrational states at low spins to quasi-rotational structures following the population of a low-Ω, ‘rotationally aligned’ h_11/2 neutron configuration is demonstrated to be a standard feature of the region using the so-called E-Gamma Over Spin (E-GOS) empirical prescription. This treatment is extended to odd-A nuclei. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
