Abstract

We present results of a calculation of properties of low-lying collective quadrupole states in odd-even nuclei within the framework of the proton-neutron interacting boson-fermion model.

The impo ance o p o on-neu on deg ees o ee- dom in low-lying collec i e s a es o nuclei has been emphasized in ecen yea s by he in e ac ing boson model [ 1 ]. In addi ion o in oducing speci ic p o on -neu on e ec s, such as he occu ence o K P = 1 + bands in de o med nuclei [2], his model has he ad- an age ha , being closely ela ed o he mic oscopic shell model, i allows one o make ex apola ions and p edic ions o p ope ies o nuclei hi he o unknown. The nex logical s ep in he di ec ion o a de ailed un- de s anding o nuclea p ope ies is ha o pe o ming simila p o on-neu on calcula ions o odd-e en nu- clei. Because o he la ge numbe o low-lying s a es, hese calcula ions p esen a majo challenge. P e ious calcula ions o odd-e en nuclei wi hin he amewo k o he in e ac ing boson model ha e been done wi h he e sion o he model in which no dis inc ion is made be ween p o on and neu on deg ees o eedom [3].

The calcula ions p esen ed in his a icle a e based on an imp o ed e sion o his p og am ob ained by one o us (R.B.), oge he wi h B. Vissche [6]. The imp o emen consis s o a p edi- agonaliza ion and unca ion o he boson spec um be o e coupling he odd e mion. In he in e ac ing boson- e mion model, spec a o odd-e en nuclei a e calcula ed by coupling he collec- i e deg ees o eedom, desc ibed by bosons, o he single-pa icle deg ees o eedom ( e mions).
