We perform shell model calculations using a quadrupole–quadrupole interaction (Q.Q). We show results in single j shell spaces and the full S-D shell. We show that one gets useful results with Q.Q in both spaces. We emphasize the importance of the choice of single particle energies in order to obtain the results of Elliott using a Q.Q interaction without the momentum terms. We show a [Formula: see text] spectrum for a ground state band but with [Formula: see text]’s different from the rotational model. We also show results such as [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] excited “spin bands”. (The latter can also be expressed as a [Formula: see text] band). We find spectra starting with [Formula: see text] which have both even [Formula: see text] and odd [Formula: see text] members.

Adding one neutron to doubly magic [Formula: see text]Sn, we can associate the low lying states in[Formula: see text]Sn with single particle states. Thus, the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] states are identified as the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] single particle states, respectively. In [Formula: see text]Sn, these two low lying states are separated by an energy of 0.172[Formula: see text]MeV. Currently, there is a dispute as to the ordering of these states. We examine how the two scenarios, selecting [Formula: see text] as the ground state or [Formula: see text] as the ground state, affect spectra and nuclear [Formula: see text] factors of higher mass Sn isotopes in a variety of shell model situations. Significantly, this includes examining the complex interplay of the choice of single particle state splitting, effective interactions, and effective [Formula: see text]-factors in nuclear shell model calculations. Of particular importance is how the trends in the calculated results for [Formula: see text] factors diverge from recent experimental measurements for the higher mass isotopes of Sn.

Magnetic moments of the first excited states in 50Cr and of the 7/2" and 19/2' states in 49Cr, have been measured by the transient field technique. The states were excited by the inverse reaction 40Ca + 12C and the recoil nuclei traversed a thick gadolinium foil. The observed rotations, of the 2+, 4+, 6+, 8+ states of the ground-state band in 50Cr, were found into the experimental error to be the same, suggesting similar g-factors for these states and thus supporting a high collectivity for the ground-state band, g-factors of the 7/2' and 19/2 states in 49Cr, were deduced by adopting both an overall parametrization of the transient magnetic field in Gd and by comparing the 49Cr rotations with rotations of states with known magnetic moments, as the 2+ ones of 50Cr and of 46Ti which was also populated in the same reaction. Both methods gave similar results and the g-factors adopted for the 19/2" and 7/2" states were + 0.78(17) and +0.35(7) respectively. These results are discussed in terms of cranked shell model calculations and are found to support a proton alignment in the f7/2 shell.

A 985 MeV 178 Hf beam was Coulomb excited by a 208 Pb target at the ATLAS accelerator of Argonne National Laboratory. Gammasphere and the CHICO particle detector recorded particle-γ coincidence data. The aim was to populate and determine the mechanism of previously observed Coulomb excitation of the Kπ = 6+ (t1/2 = 77 ns ), 8- (4 s ) and 16+ (31 y ) isomer bands. New rotational bands were identified including an aligned band which appears to mix with the ground-state band (GSB) and the γ-vibrational band above ~ 12 ħ of angular momentum. Newly observed γ-decay transitions into the three isomer bands may elucidate the K-mixing which allows Coulomb excitation of these isomer bands, but direct decays from the GSB into the 16+ isomer band have not yet been confirmed.

Davidson potentials of the form β^2 + β0^4/β^2, when used in the original Bohr Hamiltonian for γ-independent potentials bridge the U(5) and 0(6) symmetries. Using a variational procedure, we determine for each value of angular momentum L the value of β0 at which the derivative of the energy ratio RL = E(L)/E(2) with respect to β0 has a sharp maximum, the collection of RL values at these points forming a band which practically coincides with the ground state band of the E(5) model, corresponding to the critical point in the shape phase transition from U(5) to Ο(6). The same potentials, when used in the Bohr Hamiltonian after separating variables as in the X(5) model, bridge the U(5) and SU(3) symmetries, the same variational procedure leading to a band which practically coincides with the ground state band of the X(5) model, corresponding to the critical point of the U(5) to SU(3) shape phase transition. A new derivation of the Holmberg-Lipas formula for nuclear energy spectra is obtained as a by-product.

The conversion electron spectrum of the reaction 155Gd (n, e) 156Gd has been measured up to 8.5 MeV. The results below 4.5 MeV are presented and multipolarities are determined with these results. E0 admixtures of the Δ I = 0 transitions from the 0 + β-vibrational band to the ground state band were determined with 15% accuracy. 156Gd level schemes are discussed and extended by new spin and parity assignments.

Angular distributions of the analyzing power and cross sections have been measured for the elastic and inelastic scattering of 25.25 MeV protons exciting the K = 0+ ground-state band in 28Si. Good agreement with experiment is obtained in the coupled-channels formalism on the basis of the rotational model with a quadrupole deformation β2 = −0.40 (oblate) and a hexadecapole deformation β4 = +0.15. The calculations show the great sensitivity of the experimental results to both the magnitude and sign of the quadrupole and hexadecapole deformations. Equivalent fits of the data were obtained either by keeping the deformation length of the various deformed terms of the optical potential constant (δ0 = β0R0 = βIRI = βLSRLS) or by increasing the deformation of the spin–orbit optical potential relative to the central potential by a factor of 1.5 (βLS = 1.5βcent).
