Modified rotational energy spectrum of even-even nuclei

OSTI ID:6244473
A modified rotational energy band structure for an axially symmetric deformed even-even nucleus is derived under the assumption that all nucleons outside a filled nuclear core have angular momentum j, with j >> 1. An expansion derived by Belyaev and Zelevinski is used to express important band operators explicity as a function of the total angular momentum of the nucleus. These operators are then inserted into an equation of motion describing nuclear rotation, and band transition energies W/sub 2/ are calculated for nuclear transitions within a single rotational band. It is found that one adjustable parameter will suffice to specify the band structure given by W/sub 2/, and this band structure may be made to have energy level spacings lying between pure rotation and pure vibration.
