Low-Lying Structure and Inelastic Scattering of Cu Isotopes in a Unified Model

Abstract

The odd-Cu isotopes are examined in a model which couples quasi-particle states to anharmonic vibrations of neighboring Ni cores. The f7/2, f5/2, p3/2, and p1/2 orbitals are available and the core properties are taken directly from the experimental spectrum of the Ni isotopes. The results are compared with experimental estimates as well as with a recent shell model calculation. The inelastic scattering cross sections for protons on 65Cu are also discussed within the framework of this model.
