Shell-model calculations for the energy levels of the /ital N/=50 isotones with /ital A/=80--87

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
The detailed features of the calculated energy-level schemes and of thesingle-particle, orbit-occupancy properties of the low-lying levels of the/ital N/=50 isotones /sup 80/Zn, /sup 81/Ga,/sup 82/Ge, /sup 83/As, /sup 84/Se,/sup 85/Br, /sup 86/Kr, and /sup 87/Rb arepresented and discussed. These results are obtained with a new effectiveHamiltonian operator obtained empirically from an iterative fit to experimentalenergies taken from all experimentally studied (/ital A/=82--96)/ital N/=50 nuclei. The model space for the calculations consists ofactive 0/ital f//sub 5/2/, 1/ital p//sub 3/2/,1/ital p//sub 1/2/, and 0/ital g//sub 9/2/ proton orbits relativeto a nominal /sup 78/Ni core. This space is truncated internally byrestricting the number of particles excited from the negative-parity orbitsinto the /ital g//sub 9/2/ orbit to be no greater than four. The typicalstructures predicted for these lighter /ital N/=50 isotones are found tobe dominated by well-mixed combinations of /ital fp/-orbit configurations, withthe /ital g//sub 9/2/ orbit playing a minor role in all but a few specialcases. The model energy-level spectra are compared with existing experimentalinformation, as are calculated spectroscopic factors for single-protonstripping and pickup reactions.
