Extension of the consistent Q formalism to odd-A nuclei in the W-Pt region

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5982120
It is shown that the approach of the Consistent Q Formalism, which has proved successful in the Interacting Boson Model description of even-even nuclei, can be extended to odd A nuclei within the framework of the Interacting Boson-Fermion Model. The proposed method describes the transition between the SU(3) and O(6) symmetry limits of the U(6/12) boson fermion group, and can be applied to the odd neutron W, Os, Pt nuclei. As in the even-even case, a number of parameter-free predictions emerge for the transitional region concerning energies, B(E2) values and also single particle structure factors, and some of these are compared to existing data for the odd Os nuclei. 15 references.
