Collective Quadrupole Excitations in Transitional Nuclei
The generalized Bohr Hamiltonian was used to describe the low-lying collective excitations in even-even isotopes of Ru, Pd, Te, Ba and Nd. The Strutinsky collective potential and cranking inertial functions were obtained using the Nilsson potential. The effect of coupling with the pairing vibrations is taken into account approximately when determining the inertial functions. The calculation does not contain any free parameter
The low-lying quadrupole collective excitations of Ru and Pd isotopes
Quadrupole excitations of even-even Ru and Pd isotopes are described within
microscopic approach based on the general collective Bohr model which includes
the effect of coupling with the pairing vibrations. The excitation energies and
E2 transition probabilities observed in 104-114Ru and 106-110Pd are reproduced
in the frame of the calculation containing no free parameters.Comment: 11 pages, 18 figures in EPS forma
Collective quadrupole excitations in the 50<Z,N<82 nuclei with the generalized Bohr Hamiltonian
The generalized Bohr Hamiltonian is applied to a description of low-lying
collective excitations in even-even isotopes of Te, Xe, Ba, Ce, Nd and Sm. The
collective potential and inertial functions are determined by means of the
Strutinsky method and the cranking model, respectively. A shell-dependent
parametrization of the Nilsson potential is used. An approximate
particle-number projection is performed in treatment of pairing correlations.
The effect of coupling with the pairing vibrations is taken into account
approximately when determining the inertial functions. The calculation does not
contain any free parameter.Comment: Latex2e source, 20 pages, 14 figures in EPS format, tar gzipped fil
New Description of the Doublet Bands in Doubly Odd Nuclei
The experimentally observed doublet bands in some odd-odd
nuclei are analyzed within the orthosymplectic extension of the Interacting
Vector Boson Model (IVBM). A new, purely collective interpretation of these
bands is given on the basis of the obtained boson-fermion dynamical symmetry of
the model. It is illustrated by its application to three odd-odd nuclei from
the region, namely , and . The
theoretical predictions for the energy levels of the doublet bands as well as
and transition probabilities between the states of the yrast band in
the last two nuclei are compared with experiment and the results of other
theoretical approaches. The obtained results reveal the applicability of the
orthosymplectic extension of the IVBM.Comment: 15 pages, 13 figure
IBM-1 description of the fission products Ru
IBM-1} calculations for the fission products Ru have been
carried out. The even-even isotopes of Ru can be described as transitional
nuclei situated between the U(5) (spherical vibrator) and SO(6)
(-unstable rotor) symmetries of the Interacting Boson Model. At first,
a Hamiltonian with only one- and two-body terms has been used. Excitation
energies and (E2) ratios of gamma transitions have been calculated. A
satisfactory agreement has been obtained, with the exception of the odd-even
staggering in the quasi- bands of Ru. The observed pattern
is rather similar to the one for a rigid triaxial rotor. A calculation based on
a Hamiltonian with three-body terms was able to remove this discrepancy. The
relation between the IBM and the triaxial rotor model was also examined.Comment: 22 pages, 8 figure
Breakdown of \u3cem\u3eK\u3c/em\u3e Selection in \u3csup\u3e178\u3c/sup\u3eHf
Coulomb activation of the four quasiparticle Kπ = 16+ 178Hf isomer (t 1/2 = 31 y) has led to the measurement of a set of Eλ matrix elements coupling the isomer band to the ground band. The present data combined with earlier 178Hf Coulomb excitation data have probed the K components in the wave functions and revealed the onset and saturation of K mixing in low-K bands, whereas the mixing is negligible in the high-K bands. The implications can be applied to other quadrupole-deformed nuclei
