10 MacLaurin shapes What happens if we spin a liquid drop? It becomes oblate! Jupiter: T = 9 h 50 min polar / equatorial axis ~ 15/16 MacLaurin shape after C. MacLaurin ( ) But what if we spin really fast? 10
11 Jacobi shapes The equilibrium shape changes abruptly to a very elongated triaxial shape rotating about its shortest axis. piece of moon rock from Apollo mission Andreas Görgen IoP Nuclear Physics Summer School Chester, September
12 The Jacobi shape transition in nuclei Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi ( ) discovered transition from oblate to triaxial shapes in the context of rotating, idealized, incompressible gravitating masses in In 1961 Beringer and Knox suggested a similar transition in the case of atomic nuclei, idealized as incompressible, uniformly charged, liquid drops endowed with surface tension. Liquid drop calculation Jacobi transition for L > L 1 Fission barrier vanishes for L > L 2 W.D. Myers and W.J. Swiatecki Acta Phys. Pol. B 32, 1033 (2001) 12
13 What is the signature of a Jacobi transition in nuclei? sharp decrease of frequency with increasing angular momentum (giant backbend of the moment of inertia) frequency of collective rotation is related to the E2 γ-ray energy: hω = E γ many rotational bands at high spin quasi-continuous transitions measure the energy of the quasi-continuous E2 bump as a function of angular momentum series of experiments with Gammasphere Ca MeV 48 Ca MeV 48 Ca MeV 48 Ca MeV as neutron rich as possible: higher fission barrier 13
14 Measuring angular momentum with Gammasphere 108 Compton-suppressed HPGe detectors K M J 108 Ge detectors 6 x 108 = 648 BGO detectors K = number of hits = fold M = γ rays emitted = multiplicity (from response function) J = initial angular momentum (from angular distribution) increase in false veto signals reduced Ge efficiency but very high granularity 14
15 The E2 bump Incremental spectra: Multiplicity (K av -1) gated spectrum subtracted from (K av +1) spectrum K measures the angular momentum E2 bump measures rotational frequency 15
16 Comparison to liquid drop calculations D. Ward et al., Phys. Rev. C 66, (2002) two modifications: lower effective moment of inertia at low spin due to pairing no collective rotation about axially symmetric (MacLaurin) shapes in nuclei, instead, collective rotations are associated with (mostly) prolate shapes no sharp transition caused by breaking of axial symmetry, but smooth transition 16
