Influence of nuclear deformation on level density parameter

Abstract

By using semiclassical method and considering deformed Woods–Saxon mean field potential, single-particle level density g, level density parameter a, and nuclear level density have been calculated for some deformed nuclei with deformation parameters ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]). Significant difference between deformed and spherical level density parameter and nuclear level density were observed. The effect of [Formula: see text] on level density parameter was notable. A simple formula for single-particle level density has been introduced.
