Abstract

The La137 nucleus was populated by the reaction Te130(B11, 4n) at 40-MeV beam energy and the lifetime of the 11/2 state at 1004.6keV was measured using a hybrid array of HPGe clover and LaBr3(Ce) detectors by electronic fast-timing technique, providing the value T1/2=263±12ps. The reduced transition probability B(E3)=23.3±2.4W.u. is found to be significantly larger compared to the values observed in lighter odd-A La isotopes. The experimentally determined B(E3) value is compared with theoretical calculations of random-phase approximation which explains the enhanced transition probability to be arising from higher contribution of the g9/2 orbital to the proton transition density.
