Studies of chirality in the mass 80, 100 and 190 regions

Abstract

A brief survey of results of studies of nuclear chirality in the mass 80 and 190 region at iThemba LABS is given, before looking at the case of 106 Ag in detail. Here, the crossing of a pair of candidate chiral bands is re-interpreted as the crossing of a prolate band by an aligned four-quasiparticle band.
