Title: Neutron-hole strength in N = 81 nuclei

Abstract

A systematic study of neutron-hole strength in the N = 81 nuclei 137Ba, 139Ce, 141Nd, and 143Sm is reported. The single-neutron removal reactions (p,d) and (3He,α) were measured at energies of 23 and 34 MeV, respectively. Spectroscopic factors were extracted from measured cross sections through a distorted-wave Born approximation analysis and centroids of single-particle strength have been established. Here, the change in these centroid energies as a function of proton number have been compared to calculations of the monopole shift for the s1/2 and h11/2 orbitals, where the majority of the strength has been observed. Significant fragmentation of strength was observed for the d and g7/2 orbitals, particularly for the latter orbital which is deeply bound, with summed strengths that indicate a significant amount lies outside of the measured excitation energy range.
