Phys Rev Lett. 2006 Oct 27;97(17):172501. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.97.172501. Epub 2006 Oct 25.

Abstract

The results of the Doppler-shift attenuation method lifetime measurements in partner bands of 128Cs and 132La are presented. Experimental reduced transition probabilities in 128Cs are compared with theoretical calculations done in the frame of the core-quasiparticle coupling model. The electromagnetic properties, energy and spin of levels belonging to the partner bands show that 128Cs is the best known example revealing the chiral symmetry breaking phenomenon.
