Isospin character of low-lying states in 56Fe

Coupled-channel analysis of deuteron scattering on 56Fe

The deuteron elastic and inelastic scattering on 56Fe is calculated by using the coupled-channel method and the collective motion models. Based on the experimental angular distributions of scattering processes, an optimal set of parameters are obtained for the deuteron's coupled-channel optical model potential and 56Fe's deformation including first ten low-lying excited states. The calculation results are in good agreement with the experimental data at low incident energies (Ed < 30 MeV), except for 41+(2.085 MeV) and 23+(2.960 MeV), and the deviation is found for several states at 56 MeV. That indicates further analyses and discussions are necessary.

High-energy-resolution inelastic electron and proton scattering and the multiphonon nature of mixed-symmetry 2+ states in 94Mo

High-energy-resolution inelastic electron scattering (at the S-DALINAC) and proton scattering (at iThemba LABS) experiments permit a thorough test of the nature of proposed one- and two-phonon symmetric and mixed-symmetric 2+ states of the nucleus 94Mo. The combined analysis reveals the one-phonon content of the mixed-symmetry state and its isovector character suggested by microscopic nuclear model calculations. The purity of two-phonon 2+ states is extracted.
