Band crossing in Shears band of $^{108}$Cd
arXiv:1003.0799 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevC.81.054311
Abstract
The level lifetimes have been measured for a Shears band of $^{108}$Cd which exhibits bandcrossing. The observed level energies and B(M1) rates have been successfully described by a semi-classical geometric model based on shear mechanism. In this geometric model, the bandcrossing in Shears band has been described as the reopening of the angle between the blades of a shear.
