Global study of the spectroscopic properties of the first 2+ state in even-even nuclei

Abstract

We discuss the systematics of the 2+ excitation energy and the transition probability from this 2+ to the ground state for most of the even-even nuclei, from O16 up to the actinides, for which data are available. To that aim we calculate their correlated J=0 ground state and J=2 first excited state by means of the angular-momentum and particle-number projected generator coordinate method, using the axial mass quadrupole moment as the generator coordinate and self-consistent mean-field states only restricted by axial, parity, and time-reversal symmetries. The calculation, which is an extension of a previous systematic calculation of correlations in the ground state, is performed within the framework of a non-relativistic self-consistent mean-field model using the same Skyrme interaction SLy4 and a density-dependent pairing force to generate the mean-field configurations and mix them.
