Chiral Vibrations and Collective Bands in 104Mo
High spin states of the neutron-rich 104Mo nucleus have been reinvestigated by analyzing the γ-rays in the spontaneous fission of 252Cf with Gammasphere. Both γ-γ-γ and γ-γ-γ-γ coincidence data were analyzed. A new ΔI = 1 band has been discovered with a tentative 5- band-head, and is proposed to form a class of chiral doublets with another 4- band previously found. Angular correlation measurements have been performed to determine the spins and parities. The origin of the chiral doublet bands in 104Mo is interpreted as neutron h11/2 particle and mixed d5/2, g7/2 hole coupled to the short and long axis, respectively.
