Tilted precession bands in ¹³⁵Nd

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ¹⁰⁰Mo(⁴⁰Ar, 5n)¹³⁵Nd, E=152 MeV; measured Eγ, Iγ, γγ-coin, γγ(θ)(DCO), γγ(two-angle, anisotropy ratio), γ(θ), γγ(linear polarization) using JUROGAM II spectrometer with 39 Compton-suppressed Ge detectors at the K130 Cyclotron facility of the University of Jyvaskyla. ¹³⁵Nd; deduced high-spin levels, J, π, rotational bands, multipolarities, mixing ratios, B(M1)_out/B(E2)_in and B(E2)_out/B(E2)_in ratios, configurations. Comparison with quasiparticle-plus-triaxial-rotor model calculations. Observed bands described as tilted precession (TiP) bands instead of wobbling bands. Discussed nuclear triaxiality, and similarities and differences between tilted precession bands (TiP) and wobbling bands.
