Projected total energy surface description for axial shape asymmetry in ^(172)W

The projected total energy surface(PTES)approach has been developed based on the triaxial projected shell model(TPSM)hybridized with the macroscopic–microscopic method.The total energy of an atomic nucleus is decomposed into macroscopic,microscopic and rotational terms.The macroscopic and microscopic components are described with the liquid drop model and Strutinsky method,respectively,and the rotational energy is given by the TPSM,the term beyond the mean field.To test theory,the PTES calculations have been carried out for the yrast states of the well deformed rare earth nucleus172W,and the theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental data.By using the equilibrium quardrupole deformations(ε2andγ)determined by the PTES,the calculation of the transition quardrupole moment(Qt)in function of spin also reproduces the experimental data.A comparison between the PTES and TRS methods has been made for theoretical and application uses.

Orientation dichroism effect of proton scattering on deformed nuclei

Proton-induced scattering of 238U nuclei,with spheroidal deformations at beam energies above 100 MeV,is simulated using an improved quantum molecular dynamics model.The angular distribution of the deflected protons is highly sensitive to the orientation of the symmetrical long axis of the target nuclei with respect to the beam direction.As a result,in reverse kinematic reactions,an orientation dichroism effect is predicted,implying that the absorption rate of the 238U beam by a proton target discerns between the parallel and perpendicular orientations of the deformed 238U nuclei.

Nuclear structure study of some bubble nuclei in the light mass region using mean field formalism

We study the structural properties of some light mass nuclei using two different formalisms（i） a recently developed simple effective interaction in the frame work of microscopic non-relativistic Hartree-Fock method and（ii）the well-known relativistic mean field approach with NL3 parameter set. The bulk properties like binding energy, root mean square radii and quadrupole deformation parameter are estimated and compared with the available experimental data. The predicted results of both the formalisms are well comparable with the experimental observations. The analysis of density profiles of these light mass nuclei suggest that22 O,23F,34 Si and46Ar have bubble like structure.

Systematic dependence of SFE＊B(E2)↑ and ROTE＊B(E2)↑on N_pN_n in the framework of shape fluctuation model

A systematic dependence of shape fluctuation energy product SFE ＊ B（E2）↑ and rotational energy product ROTE ＊ B（E2）↑ on the valence nucleon product Np Nn is carried out in the Z = 50-82,N = 82-126 major shell space.For the shape transitional nuclei,the product SFE＊B（E2）↑ drops to zero and becomes negative,indicating direct dependence on N_pN_n.A relative rise,on the other hand,is observed in the product ROTE＊B（E2） ↑plotted against N_pN_n for all the nuclei in Z = 50-82 and N = 82-126.In the N 〉 104 region,large positive values of the product SFE ＊ B（E2） ↑ are observed for the Pt nucleus,which indicates sphericity.A systematic study of the product SFE ＊ B（E2）↑ and ROTE ＊ B（E2） ↑ with atomic number Z is also discussed.The products SFE ＊ B（E2） ↑and ROTE ＊ B（E2） ↑ vary sharply with Z for the N = 88 isotones.We discuss here for the first time the correlation between SFE ＊ B（E2） ↑ and ROTE ＊ B（E2） ↑ with valence nucleon product N_pN_n.
