The collective model of an odd neutron in an axially symmetric deformed Woods–Saxon potential, coupled to a rotating core, and containing the full RPC and pairing corrections has been used to predict the full low lying rotational band spectrum of the nuclei with N = 91 to 97. Only three adjustable parameters were used in each nucleus to fit the complete spectrum. It was possible in several nuclei to obtain the correct level sequence and in most to confirm level assignments, and the adjusted parameters were in good agreement with accepted values. However, the accuracy of this method is insufficient, in most nuclei, to provide reliable predictions for as yet unidentified bands. The lack of good overall agreements in the low lying spectra of these nuclei confirms that the core shape parameters do change from one band to another.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
