Chiral vibrations in the A=135 region

Abstract

Chiral vibrations are studied with the RPA plus self-consistent tilted axis cranking formalism in the A=135 region. In this method chiral vibrations appear as a precursor to the static chiral regime. The properties of the RPA phonons are discussed and compared to experimental data. We discuss the limits the chiral region and the transition to the non harmonic regime.
