New candidate chiral nucleus in the A ≈ 80 mass region: ⁸²₃₅Br₄₇

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ⁸²Se(α, 3np)⁸²Br, E=65, 68 MeV; measured Eγ, Iγ, γγ-coin, γγ(θ)(ADO), γγ(linear polarization) using the AFRODITE array at the separated-sector cyclotron (SSC) of iThemba LABS. ⁸²Br; deduced levels, J, π, multipolarities, band structures, configurations, B(M1)/B(E2) ratios, energy staggering parameter, degenerate positive-parity chiral doublet bands; calculated valence proton and valence neutron angular momenta as functions of spin for ^78,80,82Br, probability distributions for projection of total angular momentum for the chiral doublet bands in ⁸²Br using triaxial particle rotor model (TPRM).
