Nuclear structure calculations in vanadium isotopes

Abstract

Nuclear structure calculations for the low-lying states in even-N isotopes 47,49,51V and odd-N isotopes, 48,50V are performed in the framework of the Hartree-Fock projection formalism. All the nucleons outside the 40Ca core are treated explicitly in the pf-shell configuration space by employing a realistic nucleon-nucleon interaction. The energy levels, static electromagnetic moments and the electromagnetic transition probabilities, are evaluated from band-mixing calculations in which the four lowest energetically-close intrinsic states of the nuclei are taken into account. The theoretical results are in fair agreement with the experimental data.
