Chirality and octupole correlations in As 74

Physical Review C, Volume 106, No. 6, Article 064302, Year 2022

High-spin states in As74 were studied using the Ge74(He4,1p3n) reaction at beam energies of 58.6 and 62.6 MeV. Two positive- and one negative-parity bands have been identified in As74. The two positive-parity bands are interpreted as chiral doublet bands, which is supported by the triaxial particle rotor model. Three electric dipole transitions linking the yrast positive- and negative-parity bands were also observed in this work, suggesting the existence of octupole correlations in As74.
