The yrast spectra with Jmaxpi = 10+, B(E2) transition probabilities and QJ+ values are calculated for even-even ruthenium isotopes by carrying out variation after projection (VAP) calculations in conjunction with the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) ansatz employing a pairing-plus-quadrupole-quadrupole effective interaction operating in a reasonably large valence space outside the 76Sr core. Our calculations describe the shape changes as a function of mass number for ruthenium isotopes and also reveal that both the HFB technique as well as the quadrupole-plus-pairing-quadrupole model of the two-body interaction are fairly reliable in this mass region.
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.
