High-spin spectroscopy of ¹⁴⁰Nd

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ⁹⁶Zr(⁴⁸Ca, 4n), E=180, 195 MeV; measured Eγ, Iγ, γγ-coin, γγ(θ) using the JUROGAM II+RITU+GREAT setup at Jyvaskyla and the EUROBALL array at the IRS in Strasbourg. Recoil-decay tagging technique. ¹⁴⁰Nd; deduced high-spin levels, J, π, multipolarity, bands, alignments, configurations, B(M1)/B(E2), stable triaxial shape at high spin; calculated potential energy surface contours in (β₂, γ) plane, single-particle Routhians using cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky and tilted axis cranking models.
