Abstract

In the doubly magic nucleus ^{208}mathrm{Pb} states at excitation energies 6,lesssim , E_x <7.0 MeV populated by the inelastic proton scattering via the doublet isobaric analog resonances g_{{ 7}/{2}}+d_{{ 3}/{2}} in ^{209}mathrm{Bi} are studied. Sixteen states containing dominant strengths of the configurations g_{{ 7}/{2}}p_{{ 3}/{2}}, d_{{ 3}/{2}}p_{{ 3}/{2}}, g_{{ 7}/{2}}f_{{ 5}/{2}}, d_{{ 3}/{2}}f_{{ 5}/{2}} are newly assigned spins from 2^- to 6^-, among them ten states are newly identified. Amplitudes with relative signs of up to four one-particle one-hole configurations with strengths down to 0.05% are determined in 40 states with spins from 1^- to 6^-. Amplitudes of configurations d_{{ 3}/{2}}p_{{ 1}/{2}}, d_{{ 3}/{2}}p_{{ 3}/{2}}, d_{{ 3}/{2}}f_{{ 5}/{2}} for fourteen states and amplitudes of g_{{ 7}/{2}}p_{{ 1}/{2}}, g_{{ 7}/{2}}p_{{ 3}/{2}}, g_{{ 7}/{2}}f_{{ 5}/{2}} for twenty-seven states are determined. Total strengths up to the full strength are found for configurations d_{{ 3}/{2}}p_{{ 1}/{2}}, d_{{ 3}/{2}}p_{{ 3}/{2}}, d_{{ 3}/{2}}f_{{ 5}/{2}} with spins from 1^- to 3^- and for g_{{ 7}/{2}}p_{{ 1}/{2}}, g_{{ 7}/{2}}p_{{ 3}/{2}}, g_{{ 7}/{2}}f_{{ 5}/{2}} with spins from 1^- to 6^-.

Summary

Introduction

The heaviest doubly magic nucleus 208Pb is fascinating as it offers the opportunity to study different classes of nuclear excitations. Most states in 208Pb are described in the shell model (SM) by one-particle one-hole (1p1h) configurations. More than two dozen states below the neutron and proton threshold (S(n) = 7368 keV, S( p) = 8004 keV [1]) are recognized to be not described as 1p1h configurations. At Ex ≈ 6.0 MeV configurations built by the coupling of the 3− yrast state with 1p1h configurations were identified in eighteen states [2]. Ten states at 2 < Ex < 8 MeV were recognized as tetrahedral configurations [3,4]. Four states at Ex < 5.9 MeV are pairing vibrations [5–7]. Four states at Ex < 6.2 MeV are suggested to be icosahedral configurations [8]
