The transition between order and chaos is studied in the warm rotating nucleus 174W by gamma-spectroscopy, focusing on the conservation of selection rules of the K quantum number with the excitation energy. The 174W nucleus was populated at high spins by the fusion-evaporation reaction of 50Ti (at 217MeV) on a 128Te backed target. The experiment was performed in Legnaro National Labo- ratory using the AGATA Demonstrator HPGe-array (AD) coupled with an array of 27 BaF2 scintillator detectors. High-energy γ-rays measured in the AD and in the scintillators array will be also analyzed to study the Giant Dipole Resonance (GDR) in the compound nucleus 178W.

Abstract
The transition between order and chaos is studied in the warm rotating nucleus 174W by gamma-spectroscopy, focusing on the conservation of selection rules of the K quantum number with the excitation energy. The 174W nucleus was populated at high spins by the fusion-evaporation reaction of 50Ti (at 217MeV) on a 128Te backed target. The experiment was performed in Legnaro National Labo- ratory using the AGATA Demonstrator HPGe-array (AD) coupled with an array of 27 BaF2 scintillator detectors. High-energy γ-rays measured in the AD and in the scintillators array will be also analyzed to study the Giant Dipole Resonance (GDR) in the compound nucleus 178W. The discrimination between n and γ in the AD detectors will be employed, following a procedure recently developed by Monte Carlo simulations and using digital Pulse Shape Analysis timing techniques. ©2011 by Società Italiana di Fisica.
