Band head spin assignment of superdeformed bands in A ∼60−80 mass region through nuclear softness formula

Abstract

The nuclear softness formula has been applied to obtain the band head spin ([Formula: see text]) of 7 superdeformed rotational bands ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]) in A[Formula: see text]60−80 mass region. To obtain the band head spin ([Formula: see text]) of 7 superdeformed rotational bands in A[Formula: see text]60−80 mass region least square fitting method is used. The parameters are extracted by fitting the intraband transition energies in the nuclear softness formula from where the root mean deviation (RMD) between the calculated and the observed transition energies are obtained. The calculated transition energies are in good agreement with the experimental transition energies whenever exact band head spin ([Formula: see text]) is assigned. The calculated values of dynamic moment of inertia and its variation with rotational frequency for seven superdeformed rotational bands in A[Formula: see text]60−80 mass region are also studied. Hence, it is suggested that the nuclear softness formula works very well in A[Formula: see text]60−80 mass region.
