Abstract

It is known that the nuclear moments of inertia, calculated on the basis of the hydrodynamical model, yield values which are too small in comparison with the experimentalvalues. An expression for the moment of inertia of an asymmetric nucleus is derived in the framework of the cranking model and taking into account the residual interactions between nucleons. The result is a generalization of the Moszkowski formula, where the residual interaction parameter p is dependent on the axis of rotation. With suitable values of the parameters this model can reproduce the experimental moments of inertia obtained from the energy level data. Calculations show that the general trend of variation of the reduced width for electric quadrupole transitions with the energy ratio of the two 2 + states is also given satisfactorily in this model.
