Coriolis contribution to excited states of odd-mass nuclei with different deformation-dependent mass coefficients

Abstract

Within the collective Bohr Hamiltonian, the adoption of a mass tensor as a function of collective coordinates has demonstrated its importance for describing the structure of nuclei. On the other hand, for odd-mass nuclei, the Coriolis interaction between the rotational and single-particle motions affects significantly the structure of nuclear excited states. In the framework of a recently developed extended Bohr Hamiltonian, by considering the deformation-dependent mass formalism whith different mass parameters for the rotation and the two β and γ vibrations and taking into account the Coriolis contribution, we investigate the bands structure of the 173Yb, 163Dy, 155Eu and 153Eu nuclei. Excited-state energies and B(E2) transition probabilities are calculated and compared with the available experimental data. Besides, we investigate the effect of DDMF and the Coriolis force on nuclear observables.
