Spin-dependent evolution of collectivity in Te112

Abstract

The evolution of collectivity with spin along the yrast line in the neutron-deficient nucleus $^{112}\mathrm{Te}$ has been studied by measuring the reduced transition probability of excited states in the yrast band. In particular, the lifetimes of the ${4}^{+}$ and ${6}^{+}$ excited states have been determined by using the recoil distance Doppler-shift method. The results are discussed using both large-scale shell-model and total Routhian surface calculations.
