Band head spin assignment of superdeformed bands in 133Pr using two-parameter formulae

Abstract

The two-parameter formulae viz. the power index formula, the nuclear softness formula and the VMI model are adopted to accredit the band head spin [Formula: see text] of four superdeformed rotational bands in [Formula: see text]. The technique of least square fitting is used to accredit the band head spin for four superdeformed rotational bands in [Formula: see text]. The root mean deviation among the computed transition energies and well-known experimental transition energies are attained by extracting the model parameters from the two-parameter formulae. The determined transition energies are in excellent agreement with the experimental transition energies, whenever exact spins are accredited. The power index formula coincides well with the experimental data and provides minimum root mean deviation. So, the power index formula is more efficient tool than the nuclear softness formula and the VMI model. The deviation of dynamic moment of inertia [Formula: see text] against the rotational frequency is also examined.
