Chiral vibrations in the A=135 region

TL;DR

This paper investigates chiral vibrations in the A=135 nuclear region using RPA and tilted axis cranking, highlighting their role as precursors to static chirality and comparing theoretical predictions with experimental data.

Contribution

It introduces a combined RPA and tilted axis cranking approach to study chiral vibrations and their transition to static chirality in nuclei.

Findings

Chiral vibrations are identified as precursors to static chirality.

The properties of RPA phonons are consistent with experimental data.

The study discusses the limits of the chiral region and the transition to non-harmonic regimes.

Abstract

Chiral vibrations are studied with the RPA plus self-consistent tilted axis cranking formalism in the A=135 region. In this method chiral vibrations appear as a precursor to the static chiral regime. The properties of the RPA phonons are discussed and compared to experimental data. We discuss the limits the chiral region and the transition to the non harmonic regime.
