CHARACTERISTICS OF CHIRAL BANDHEAD

The bandhead of most chiral bands are isomers with a large Weisskopf hindrance factor. Such isomers are proposed as a type of K isomer. From the data available for the mass region A similar to 80,100,130, and 190, it has been observed that the low value of reduced hindrance factors could be indicative of triaxial shape and orthogonally coupling of the valence nucleon angular momentum at the chiral bandhead.

Automated summary

Most chiral bands are isomers with a high Weisskopf hindrance factor, known as K isomers. Based on available data for mass regions A similar to 80,100,130, and 190, it is observed that reduced hindrance factors suggest a triaxial shape and orthogonal coupling of the valence nucleon angular momentum at the chiral bandhead.
