Large scale shell model calculation for collectivity in nuclei beyond 78Ni

Abstract

A shell model effective interaction for nuclei beyond the double magic nucleus 78Ni is constructed. First, the single-particle evolutions for valence neutrons above the double magic 78Ni are systematically explored in the N = 51 isotones using the large scale shell model (LSSM) calculations based on the constructed effective interaction. Subsequently, we calculate the excitation energies of 2+1 states and reduced electric quadrupole transition probabilities B(E2; 2+ to 0+) for N = 52 isotones. Notably, our calculation gives the result most consistent with the trend of the B(E2) values observed in the N = 52 isotones, especially for 84Ge, a result that poses a serious challenge to the theoretical model. Furthermore, the collectivity in N = 52 isotones, as well as the roles of pseudo-SU(3) symmetry, are investigated via the calculated primary configurations of their ground states and the first excited states. Additionally, the low-lying structures and band characteristics of neutron-rich Ge and Se isotopes are investigated. The ground state and the γ-soft band are constructed in our LSSM calculations, aligning well with available experimental evidence. Finally, we present the calculated evolutions of low-lying states in neutron-rich Ge and Se isotopes. The predictions for the as-yet unobserved low-lying states in these nuclei provide a comprehensive dataset to guide and inform future experimental efforts to decipher the evolution of shell structures and collectivity.
