The concept of spontaneous symmetry breaking is applied to the rotating mean field of
nuclei. The description is based on the tilted-axis cranking model, which takes into account …

This accessible new edition explores the major topics in Monte Carlo simulation that have
arisen over the past 30 years and presents a sound foundation for problem solving …

Spectroscopic information on the decay properties of high-K isomers in deformed and
transitional nuclei has been evaluated and collated. Assigned multi-quasiparticle …

The selfconsistent cranking approach is extended to the case of rotation about an axis which
is tilted with respect to the principal axes of the deformed potential (Tilted Axis Cranking) …

Several new bands have been identified in 130 Ba, among which there is one with band-
head spin 8+. Its properties are in agreement with the Fermi-aligned ν h 11/2 2, 7/2−[523]⊗ …

High-K isomers are excited metastable excitations that are found amongst the rotational
states of deformed atomic nuclei. They exemplify the coexistence of single-particle and …

High-spin states in 179W have been studied following the 170Er (su13C, 4n) reaction.
Rotational bands up to ifI 53 2 have been identified, based on 1-, 3-, 5-and 7-quasiparticle …

The high spin structure of the nucleus 178W has been studied following the 170Er (13C, 5n)
reaction. Many previously unidentified rotational bands are seen based on high-K, 2-, 4-, 6 …

The high-spin structure of the stable nucleus 186Os has been studied, using a radioactive
14C beam. New rotational bands built on multi-quasiparticle states with Kπ= 5−, 7−, 9−, 10+ …

The stable nucleus Yb 174 has been studied using deep-inelastic reactions and time-
correlated γ-ray spectroscopy. New intrinsic states assigned include a 370-ns isomer at …
