Background• Quick Shears Band Review
High-j, proton-particle / high-j, neutron-hole interaction:Perpendicular at lowest energies Off-axis total angular momentumLarge magnetic dipole moment develops
Magnetic Rotation: Tilted Axis Cranking (TAC) model:
Quantized precession of the magnetic dipole moment, μ┴) about the total angular momentum ( J )Closing of Shears Shows I(I+1) rotation-like behavior in near-spherical nuclei

Why Shears?• Characteristic low-energy energy-level spacing• Band sits high in energy above the shell model
states• Possible alignment:

Future Direction• Evidence for shears bands, floating above
expected odd-odd shell model states in both 204At and 206Fr (N=119 isotones)
• More evidence needed, but we consider them possible shears bands
1. Longer run to find linking transitions to shell model states – Angular correlation for M1 confirmation– Confirm configurations for the band
2. Lifetime measurement to determine B(M1)’s

Shears Bands
• Demonstrates back-bending seen in shears bands in the light-Pb nuclei
• B(M1)/B(E2) values limited to >___ (μ┴)2/(eb)2
• Longer data run needed to observe B(E2) values– S. Chmel, et. al. report same problem with light
Pb nuclei
• Lifetime measurements required to get B(M1) values
