Realistic shell-model calculations for proton particle-neutron hole nuclei around 132Sn
We have performed shell-model calculations for nuclei with proton particles
and neutron holes around 132Sn using a realistic effective interaction derived
from the CD-Bonn nucleon-nucleon potential. For the proton-neutron channel this
is explicitly done in the particle-hole formalism. The calculated results are
compared with the available experimental data, particular attention being
focused on the proton particle-neutron hole multiplets. A very good agreement
is obtained for all the four nuclei considered, 132Sb, 130Sb, 133Te and 131Sb.
We predict many low-energy states which have no experimental counterpart. This
may stimulate, and be helpful to, future experiments.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, to be published on Physical Review
On the isospin dependence of the mean spin-orbit field in nuclei
By the use of the latest experimental data on the spectra of Sb and
Sn and on the analysis of properties of other odd nuclei adjacent to
doubly magic closed shells the isospin dependence of a mean spin-orbit
potential is defined. Such a dependence received the explanation in the
framework of different theoretical approaches.Comment: 52 pages, Revtex, no figure
Low momentum nucleon-nucleon potential and shell model effective interactions
A low momentum nucleon-nucleon (NN) potential V-low-k is derived from meson
exhange potentials by integrating out the model dependent high momentum modes
of V_NN. The smooth and approximately unique V-low-k is used as input for shell
model calculations instead of the usual Brueckner G matrix. Such an approach
eliminates the nuclear mass dependence of the input interaction one finds in
the G matrix approach, allowing the same input interaction to be used in
different nuclear regions. Shell model calculations of 18O, 134Te and 135I
using the same input V-low-k have been performed. For cut-off momentum Lambda
in the vicinity of 2 fm-1, our calculated low-lying spectra for these nuclei
are in good agreement with experiments, and are weakly dependent on Lambda.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
Discovery of the Cadmium Isotopes
Thirty-seven cadmium isotopes have so far been observed; the discovery of
these isotopes is discussed. For each isotope a brief summary of the first
refereed publication, including the production and identification method, is
presented.Comment: to be published in Atomic Data and Nuclear Data Table

Quadrupole-deformed and octupole collective bands in Ra
Spins and parities for collective states in Ra have been determined from conversion electron measurements with a mini-orange -spectrometer. The fast-timing method has been used to measure lifetimes of T=550(20) ps and 181(3) ps for the and members of the K=0 band, and T 7 ps and 6 ps for the and members of the K = band, respectively The quadrupole moments, deduced from the B (E2; 2) and B (E2; 4) rates are in good agreement with the previously measured value and the systematics of the region. However, the B(E1) rates of 4 × 10 efm, which represent the first B(E1) measurements for this nucleus, are at least 25 times larger than the value previously suggested for Ra. The new results are consistent with the B(E1) rates recently measured for the neighbouring Ra and reveal octupole correlations in Ra
