Abstract
In 1956 A. Kerman explained the observed energy levels of the lowest K = 1/2 and K = 3/2 bands in 183W as resulting from rotational perturbations due to the effects of the Coriolis force. Following from that seminal paper, in this work we consider Kerman’s problem when one of the Nilsson single-particle levels involved is a resonant state. This is the simplest model of Coriolis mixing that allows for analytical expressions derived in first-order perturbation theory, without losing the main physical ingredients of the continuum effects. We present results for the perturbed solution of the ground state band energies as a function of the state width, which suggest a general behavior of both increased moment of inertia and staggering.
