Investigation of special features of the neutron and proton shell structure of the isotopes 90,92,94,96Zr

Abstract

The neutron and proton single-particle energies and the occupation probabilities for the valence states of the even-even isotopes 90,92,94,96Zr are determined by matching data on nucleon-stripping and nucleon-pickup reactions on the same nucleus. The data obtained in this way suggest the magicity of the number N = 56 for Z = 40. The single-particle energies of all bound neutron and proton states in the 90,92,94,96Zr nuclei are described within the experimental errors on the basis of the dispersive optical model.
