A model consisting of protons filling the shells lg,,, and 2p,,, is leastsquares fitted to 63 low-lying energy levels in N = 50 isotones from 89Y to 96Pd. The single-particle energies and two-particle interaction matrix elements are treated as free parameters. A root-mean-square deviation of 64 keV is obtained for the levels included in the fit. Binding energies and excitation spectra for all the N = 50 nuclei between "Sr and '"Sn are calculated with the resulting effective interaction.
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.
