Calculation of the properties of the rotational bands of Gd
We reexamine the long-standing problem of the microscopic derivation of a
particle-core coupling model. We base our research on the Klein-Kerman
approach, as amended by D\"onau and Frauendorf. We describe the formalism to
calculate energy spectra and transition strengths in some detail. We apply our
formalism to the rotational nuclei Gd, where recent experimental
data requires an explanation. We find no clear evidence of a need for Coriolis
attenuation.Comment: 27 pages, 13 uuencoded postscript figures. Uses epsf.st
