Harmonic chiral vibration in triaxial nuclei

Abstract

The low spin states of chiral partner bands are described by means of harmonic oscillations of the total angular momentum vector. The validity of the adopted approximation is established in terms of triaxiality, quasiparticle alignments and the maximal total angular momentum. The spectral properties of the model are described in detail with experimental realizations presented for nuclei with large resultant quasiparticle alignments. The model provides a simple phenomenological way for the determination of the triaxial deformation from the experimental data and easily discernable observable signatures.
