Coriolis contribution to excited states of deformed 163Dy and 173Yb nuclei with multiple mass parameters

Abstract

The use of different mass parameters for the rotation and two vibrations in the Bohr Hamiltonian is important for describing properties of nuclei, especially interband E2 transition probabilities. For odd nuclei, the Coriolis interaction of the angular momentum of an odd nucleon with that of a nucleus can affect results noticeably. Excited-state energies and E2 transition probabilities have been calculated for the 163Dy and 173Yb nuclei, by using three different mass parameters and taking into account the Coriolis interaction, once shell-model calculations have been performed to determine the single-particle ground-state properties of 163Dy and 173Yb. © 2012 American Physical Society.
