PROJECTED SHELL MODEL DESCRIPTION OF E2 TRANSITION PROBABILITIES AND g-FACTORS OF EVEN–EVEN NEUTRON-RICH NUCLEI FROM Xe TO Nd

Abstract

The systematics of E2 transition probabilities and g-factors of even–even N ≥ 86 Xe , Ba , Ce and Nd have been studied by using the projected shell model approach. The E2 transition probabilities and g-factors have been calculated by using the many-body wave functions that reproduce the low-lying ground state energy levels. The calculated B(E2) values show an increasing trend with spin and neutron number. The calculated g-factors reproduce the observed decreasing trend of [Formula: see text] with neutron number except Nd nuclei.
