Decisive role of fragmentation of quasiparticle-phonon configurations in the transition from order to chaos in nuclei
The particular excitation energies at which the transition from order to chaos occurs in heavy and intermediate-weight nuclei are determined. It is suggested that a study be made of the fragmentation of many-quasiparticle and quasiparticle-phonon configurations. The fragmentation of three-quasiparticle configurations at the long-lived isomer 178m2Hf—a fragmentation of five-quasiparticle configurations—should be studied in one-nucleon exchange reactions at odd-odd targets, e.g., 176Lu and 180Ta. Analysis of the γ decays of high-spin isomers can yield information on the fragmentation of quasiparticle-phonon configurations.
