W(5): Wobbling Mode in the Framework of the X(5) Model

الأصل · EN

Using in the Bohr Hamiltonian the approximations leading to the Bohr and Mottelson description of wobbling motion in even nuclei, a W(5) model for wobbling bands, coexisting with a X(5) ground state band, is obtained. Separation of variables is achieved by assuming that the relevant potential has a sharp minimum at gamma₀, which is the only parameter entering in the spectra and B(E2) transition rates (up to overall scale factors). B(E2) transition rates exhibit the features expected in the wobbling case, while the spectrum for gamma₀=20 degrees is in good agreement with experimental data for Dy-156.
