Microscopic description of the scissors mode in odd-mass heavy deformed nuclei

Carlos E. Vargas, Jorge G. Hirsch, Jerry P. Draayer

Pseudo-SU(3) shell-model results are reported for M1 excitation strengths in 157-Gd, 163-Dy and 169-Tm in the energy range between 2 and 4 MeV. Non-zero pseudo-spin couplings betwe…
