Rotation-vibration description and transitional nuclei

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
A three-band-mixing rotation-vibration description of Faessler et al., corrected to include anharmonicity of the classical beta and gamma vibrations of the nuclear core by assuming different mass parameters for the ground, beta, and gamma vibrational states, has been applied to the /sup 150,152,154/Sm, /sup 154/Gd, /sup 156/Dy, and /sup 194/Pt nuclei. A comparison of the present results with older three-band mixing calculations using three parameter and five parameter descriptions has been made. Contrary to the older predictions, an excellent reproduction of the observed energy levels below back bending is obtained for all three bands. The agreement between the theoretical and experimental B(E2) values and branching ratios improves remarkably, especially in /sup 150/Sm and /sup 194/Pt where the mass parameters for beta and gamma vibrations are nearly double their rotational counterparts. A discussion has been made.
