Evaluation of the mean intensity of theP-odd mixing of nuclear compound states

Abstract

A temperature version of the shell-optical-model approach is given to describe the low-energy compound-to-compound transitions induced by external single-particle fields. The approach is applied to evaluate the mean intensity of the P-odd mixing of nuclear compound states. The unified description for the mixing and electromagnetic transitions allows one to evaluate the mean intensity without the use of free parameters. Calculation results are compared with available experimental data. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
