The Spectroscopy of 198O11 and the 187N11 Ground State

Abstract

The spectroscopies of 190 and 21 Ne (both eleven-neutron systems) are compared. The 1-+ [211 iJ, t+ [220il and t- [lOttl bands are observed in both nuclei. On the basis of these similarities 190 is assumed to be a prolate rotor like 21 Ne. If then the recently studied IBN ground state is also considered to be a deformed system (a one-proton hole in the 190 nucleus), both the 1- ground state spin and the sudden change in the systematics of the two-neutron binding energies can be understood.
