Study of Magnetic Rotation in 193Pb: An Example of Collaboration Between Southeastern European Research Teams

Abstract

This paper summarizes the results of a series of experimental studies of mag­netic rotation in mid-shell Pb nuclei. The focus is for the 29/2- v(1i^3/2)^{-1} (x) π(3s1/2)^{-2}(1h9/2)(i13/2) magnetic band in 193Pb, for which all experimental observables have been measured. This provides a stringent test of the theoretical models aiming at the description of such excitations. These studies have been carried out in col­ laboration with different research teams from the Balkans and are an example how to utilize most efficiently the huge scientific potential of the region.
