rotational bands in neutron-rich Mo, Ru, and Pd nuclei *

Abstract

Abstract The collective rotations of the configuration in neutron-rich Mo, Ru and Pd isotopes were systematically investigated by the configuration-constrained cranking shell model based on the Skyrme Hartree-Fock method with pairing treated by shell-model diagonalization. The calculations efficiently reproduce the experimental moments of inertia of both the ground-state and side bands. Rotational bands built on two-particle configurations have been the subject of intense study. Possible configurations were assigned to the observed bands in 102-106Mo, 108-112Ru and 112-114Pd. We predict the existence of the bands in 108,110Mo. These results provide deep insights into the structure of neutron-rich nuclei, and provide useful information for future experiments.
