Abstract
An interacting-boson-model Hamiltonian determined from Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculations with the microscopic Gogny energy density functional D1M is applied to the spectroscopic analysis of neutron-rich Yb, Hf, W, Os, and Pt isotopes with mass $A\ensuremath{\sim}180$--200. Excitation energies and transition rates for the relevant low-lying quadrupole collective states are calculated by this method. Transitions from prolate to oblate ground-state shapes are analyzed as a function of neutron number $N$ in a given isotopic chain by calculating excitation energies, $B(E2)$ ratios, and correlation energies in the ground state. It is shown that such transitions tend to occur more rapidly for the isotopes with lower proton number $Z$ when departing from the proton shell closure $Z=82$. The triaxial degrees of freedom turn out to play an important role in describing the considered mass region. Predicted low-lying spectra for the neutron-rich exotic Hf and Yb isotopes are presented. The approximations used in the model and the possibilities to refine its predictive power are addressed.
