Abstract: (APS)
A projectile Coulomb-excitation experiment was performed at the radioactive-ion beam facility HIE-ISOLDE at CERN to obtain E2E2 and M1M1 transition matrix elements of 140^{140}Nd using the multistep Coulomb-excitation code GOSIA. The absolute M1M1 strengths, B(M1;22+21+)=0.033(8)μN2,B(M1;23+21+)=0.260.10+0.11μN2\textrm{B}(M1;2^+_2→2^+_1)=0.033(8)μ^2_N,\textrm{B}(M1;2^+_3→2^+_1)=0.26^{+0.11}_{−0.10}μ^2_N, and B(M1;24+21+)<0.04μN2\textrm{B}(M1;2^+_4→2^+_1)<0.04μ^2_{\textrm{N}}, identify the 23+2^+_3 state as the main fragment of the one-quadrupole-phonon proton-neutron mixed-symmetry state of 140^{140}Nd. The degree of F-spin mixing in 140^{140}Nd was quantified with the determination of the mixing matrix element VF−mix<77+13V_{\textrm{F−mix}}<7^{+13}_{−7}keV.
