Effect of Weak Binding on the Apparent Spin-Orbit Splitting in Nuclei
Abstract
The apparent splitting between orbitals that are spin-orbit partners can be substantially influenced by the effects of weak binding. In particular, such effects can account for the observed decrease in separation of the neutron $$1{p}_{3/2}$$ and $$1{p}_{1/2}$$ orbitals between the $$^{41}\mathrm{Ca}$$ and $$^{35}\mathrm{Si}$$ isotopes. This behavior has been the subject of recent experimental and theoretical works and cited as evidence for a proton “bubble” in $$^{34}\mathrm{Si}$$ causing an explicit weakening of the spin-orbit interaction. The results reported in this paper suggest that the change in the separation between the $$1{p}_{3/2}$$ and $$1{p}_{1/2}$$ partners occurs dominantly because of the behavior of the energies of these $1p$ neutron states near zero binding.
