General Comments:

227Ac evaluated by B. Singh, I. Ami, α. Chakraborty, S. Kumar, M. Latif and d. Yang.

227Ac lies at the border of the octupole-quadrupole and pure quadrupole deformation regions. 1983Sh16 interpreted this nucleus as having a core with a "soft " octupole deformation (1990Ja11). The presence of parity doublet rotational bands, and also of K=1/2 rotational bands with decoupling parameters having opposite signs, suggests a stable octupole deformation for 227Ac (1987Le05). The level structure, (α,t) spectroscopic factors, and the ground state magnetic and quadrupole moments, have been interpreted in terms of a stable octupole deformation with ε3≈0.1 (1988Le13,1983Sh16). It should be mentioned, however, that the experimental (α,t) spectroscopic factors of 1988Ma18 agree with theoretical values based on a quadrupole deformation only.

Levels: Band assignments: parity doublet band assignments are from 1990Ja11. Although octupole deformations are small in this region, the states are not fully characterized by single Nilsson orbitals. Single-particle orbitals, however, are used here to label states rather than to accurately describe their detailed configurations

Q-value: S(2n)=11930 5, S(2p)=12548 12 (2012Wa38)

E(level): From least-squares fit to adopted γ-ray energies, unless otherwise specified.

Jπ(level): Spin and parity assignments are based on rotational structure, γ-ray multipolarities and decay patterns, αγ(θ) data from 1971Le10, and comparison of experimental and theoretical cross sections (and spectroscopic factors) in 226Ra(α,t) reaction for band members based on Nilsson model configurations ( "finger-print " method). Nilsson orbital assignments are based on their energy systematics in neighboring odd-Z nuclei, favored α decay transitions from 231Pa parent with ground-state Jπ=3/2- and configuration of π1/2[530], and also on comparison of experimental and theoretical relative α-particle branches (1965PoZZ). Other specific arguments, based on γ transitions, are given with individual levels.

E(γ): Weighted average from 231Pa α decay and 227Ra β- decay.

I(γ): Best value from 231Pa α decay and 227Ra β- decay.
