Title: Valence p-n interactions and sufficient conditions for the development of collectivity in heavy nuclei

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)

The P scheme of Casten, Brenner, and Haustein is used to suggest that nuclei will always become deformed when there are more than 10 valence nucleons of each type (protons and neutrons). Utilizing this scheme, necessary and sufficient conditions are also suggested for the onset of nuclear collectivity.
