Experimental evidence for transverse wobbling bands in ¹³⁶Nd

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ¹⁰⁰Mo(⁴⁰Ar, 4n)¹³⁶Nd, E=152 MeV; analyzed γ-ray measurements reported in their previous articles: 2018Pe07, 2018Lv01, 2019Pe21 and 2020Pe07 (Phys. Rev. C 97, 041304(R); ibid 98, 044304; 100, 054319; 102, 014311). ¹³⁶Nd; deduced levels, J, π, γ-ray asymmetry ratios for 751- and 781-keV γ rays, linear polarization for 751-keV γ ray, multipolarity, B(M1)/B(E2) and B(E2)/B(E2) ratios, transverse one-phonon and zero-phonon wobbling-mode bands, and configurations. Comparison with theoretical calculations using a new particle-rotor model coupling the total angular momentum of two quasiparticles to a triaxial core in an orthogonal geometry.
