Search for the Jacobi Instability in Rapidly Rotating 46Ti* Nuclei

Abstract

The possible existence of Jacobi shape transition in hot 46Ti at high angular momenta was investigated with the Giant Dipole Resonance exclusive experiments. The GDR spectra and the angular distributions are consistent with predictions of the thermal shape fluctuation model indicating elongated nuclear shapes.
