Abstract

A new isomer with ms half-life was observed in ¹⁶⁰Nd at RIBF, RIKEN Nishina Center by using in-flight fission of a ²³⁸U beam and a cluster-type Ge detector array EURICA. The experimental results and a PSM calculation indicate that the isomer in ¹⁶⁰Nd is a 2 quasi-particle excitation of neutrons with a configuration of v1/2[521] × v7/2[633] as the case in other N = 100 isotones. The E(4⁺)/E(2⁺) ratio of the ground-state band, 3.29, shows the ¹⁶⁰Nd is well deformed and the ground band has a rotational nature. The 4^- excitation of Nd showed an increase in energy by ∼100 keV compared to that of ¹⁶²Sm as predicted by the PSM calculation. A PSM calculation was performed by changing input β₄ value and confirmed that the large hexadecupole deformation in Nd was responsible for the increase of the isomer energy.
