摘要
A gamma-ray spectroscopic measurement of the N = Z nucleus Se-68 has been made Following the C-12(Ni-58.2n) reaction at 185 and 220 MeV using Gammasphere and the Argonne Fragment Mass Analyzer. Despite a very low production cross section of 200(50) mu b, two distinct rotational bands were found: the ground state band consistent with oblate collective rotation, and an excited band consistent with prolate rotation. These observations support long-standing predictions that nuclear ground states with substantial oblate (beta(2) similar to -0.3) deformation should exist in this region.
