Search for octupole-deformed actinium isotopes using resonance ionization spectroscopy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In-source resonance ionization spectroscopy of the neutron-rich actinium isotopes $^{225\ensuremath{-}229}\mathrm{Ac}$ has been performed at the ISAC facility in TRIUMF, probing a $^{2}D_{3/2}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}^{4}P_{5/2}^{\ensuremath{\circ}}$ atomic transition. New data on the magnetic dipole moments and changes in mean-square charge radii $\ensuremath{\delta}\ensuremath{\langle}{r}^{2}\ensuremath{\rangle}$ of $^{226,228,229}\mathrm{Ac}$ have been obtained. The comparison of the measured isotope shifts and magnetic dipole coupling constants $a(^{4}P_{5/2}^{\ensuremath{\circ}})$ of $^{225,227}\mathrm{Ac}$ with a high-resolution data set is used to identify systematic uncertainties on the deduced $\ensuremath{\delta}{\ensuremath{\langle}{r}^{2}\ensuremath{\rangle}}^{A,215}$ and magnetic dipole moment values. The charge radii odd-even staggering is evaluated for the odd-$N$ isotopes, showing that $^{226}\mathrm{Ac}$ has an inverted odd-even staggering that might be linked with a reflection-asymmetric shape. Comparison of the magnetic dipole moments of $^{225,227,229}\mathrm{Ac}$ with Nilsson-model estimates supports the assumption of octupole deformation in isotopes $^{225,227}\mathrm{Ac}$ and its gradual decrease toward isotope $^{229}\mathrm{Ac}$. The changes in mean-square charge radii are compared to self-consistent calculations employing multiple modern energy density functionals: SLy5s1, BSk31, and DD-MEB1. For SLy5s1 in particular, self-consistent time-reversal breaking calculations of odd-odd nuclei incorporating finite octupole deformation are reported for the first time. For these calculations, the overall best agreement is obtained when the octupole degree of freedom is taken into account.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
