Abstract
In this study, we investigate the role of nuclear deformation on the calculated electron capture cross section (ECC) of even-even chromium (Cr) isotopes. We first determined the nuclear structure properties of these nuclei within the interacting boson model-1 (IBM-1). The energy spectra and E2 transition probabilities were calculated by fitting the parameters in the model formalism. The analysis of the potential energy surface was also performed to predict the geometric shape of the Cr nuclei by plotting their contour plot in the plane of (beta, gamma) deformation parameters. Later, we calculated the ECC within the proton-neutron quasiparticle random phase approximation (pn-QRPA) model. In particular, we studied how the calculated ECC changed with different values of the nuclear deformation parameter. The calculated Gamow-Teller (GT) strength distributions were widely spread among the daughter states. The total GT strength decreased with increasing value of the beta parameter. The computed ECC values, however, increased with increasing beta values of the Cr isotopes.
