Interpretation of enhanced electric dipole transitions in Br73 by the reflection-asymmetric triaxial particle rotor model

Abstract

The recently observed positive and negative parity bands in $^{73}\mathrm{Br}$ are investigated by the reflection-asymmetric triaxial particle rotor model. The experimental energy spectra as well as the electric transition probabilities $B(E1), B(E2)$, and the ratio $B(E1)/B(E2)$ are well reproduced by the theoretical calculations. It is found that the enhanced interband $E1$ transitions between the opposite-parity bands, a crucial evidence for octupole correlations, are mainly contributed by the intrinsic single-particle electric dipole matrix elements.
