Magnetic dipole ${\hat{I}}^3$-ray strength functions in the crossover from spherical to deformed neodymium isotopes

A. Mercenne, P. Fanto, W. Ryssens +1

We calculate the magnetic dipole ${\hat{I}}^3$-ray strength functions in a chain of even-mass neodymium isotopes ${}^{144-152}$Nd in the framework of the configuration-interaction (CI) shell…
