Evidence of chiral bands in even-even nuclei

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ¹⁰⁰Mo(⁴⁰Ar, 4n), E=152 MeV; measured Eγ, Iγ, γγ-coin, γγ(θ)(DCO) using JUROGAM II array at the K130 Cyclotron facility of the University of Jyvaskyla. ¹³⁶Nd; deduced high-spin levels, J, π, bands, five pairs of nearly degenerate chiral doublet bands, B(M1)/B(E2), configurations, quasiparticle alignments. Comparison with theoretical calculations using three-dimensional tilted axis cranking covariant density functional theory (3D TAC-CDFT), TAC-CDFT, and multi-quasiparticle particle-rotor model (MQ-PRM). Complete level scheme and bands to appear in a forthcoming paper.
