Shell evolution of N=20 nuclei and Gamow-Teller strengths of Mg by the deformed QRPA
Gamow-Teller (GT) strength distributions of Mg isotopes are investigated
within a framework of the deformed quasi-particle random phase
approximation(DQRPA). We found that the N=20 shell closure in Mg
was broken by the prolate shape deformation originating from the {\it
fp}-intruder states. The shell closure breaking gives rise to a shift of
low-lying GT excited states into high-lying states. Discussions regarding the
shell evolution trend of single particle states around N=20 nuclei are also
presented with the comparison to other approaches.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

Neutrino reactions on La and Ta via charged and neutral currents by the Quasi-particle Random Phase Approximation (QRPA)
Cosmological origins of the two heaviest odd-odd nuclei, La and
Ta, are believed to be closely related to the neutrino-process. We
investigate in detail neutrino-induced reactions on the nuclei. Charged current
(CC) reactions, BaLa and HfTa, are calculated by the standard Quasi-particle Random Phase
Approximation (QRPA) with neutron-proton pairing as well as neutron-neutron,
proton-proton pairing correlations. For neutral current (NC) reactions,
La{La} and TaTa, we generate ground and excited states of odd-even target nuclei,
La and Ta, by operating one quasi-particle to even-even nuclei,
Ba and Hf, which are assumed as the BCS ground state. Numerical
results for CC reactions are shown to be consistent with recent semi-empirical
data deduced from the Gamow-Teller strength distributions measured in the
(He, t) reaction. Results for NC reactions are estimated to be smaller by
a factor about 4 5 rather than those by CC reactions. Finally, cross
sections weighted by the incident neutrino flux in the core collapsing
supernova are presented for further applications to the network calculations
for relevant nuclear abundances
Origin of Excitation Energy Dependence on Valence Nucleon Numbers
It has been shown recently that a simple formula in terms of the valence
nucleon numbers and the mass number can describe the essential trends of
excitation energies of the first states in even-even nuclei. By
evaluating the first order energy shift due to the zero-range residual
interaction, we find that the factor which reflects the effective particle
number participating in the interaction from the Fermi orbit governs the main
dependence of the first excitation energy on the valence nucleon numbers.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figure
Residual Tensor Force Effects on the Gamow-Teller states in Magic Nuclei, 48Ca, 90Zr, 132Sn, and 208Pb
We investigate the tensor force (TF) effect %in the residual interaction on
the Gamow-Teller (GT) transitions in four magic nuclei, Ca, Zr,
Sn and Pb. The TF is taken into account by using the Br\"uckner
-matrix theory with the charge-dependent (CD) Bonn potential as the residual
interaction of charge-exchange quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA).
We found that particle-particle () tensor interaction does not affect
the GT transitions because of the closed shell nature in the nuclei, but
repulsive particle-hole () residual interaction for the
configuration of spin-orbit partners dominates the high-lying giant GT states
for all of the nuclei. It is also shown that appreciable GT strengths are
shifted to lower energy region by the attractive TF for the same
configuration, and produce the low-lying GT peak about 2.5 MeV in
Ca. Simultaneously, in Zr and Sn, the low-energy strength
appears as a lower energy shoulder near the main GT peak. On the other hand,
the shift of the low-lying GT state is not seen clearly for Pb because
of the strong spin-orbit splitting of high orbits, which dominates the GT
strength
Universal Expression for the Lowest Excitation Energy of Natural Parity Even Multipole States
We present a new expression for the energy of the lowest collective states in
even-even nuclei throughout the entire periodic table. Our empirical formula is
extremely valid and holds universally for all of the natural parity even
multipole states. This formula depends only on the mass number and the valence
nucleon numbers with six parameters. These parameters are determined easily and
unambiguously from the data for each multipole state. We discuss the validity
of our empirical formula by comparing our results with those of other studies
and also by estimating the average and the dispersion of the logarithmic errors
of the calculated excitation energies with respect to the measured ones.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figure
