Abstract

Abstract Excited states in 140, 142, 144, 146 Nd nuclei, up to an excitation energy of about 5 MeV, were investigated by (p,t) experiments performed with a good energy resolution. These data, together with proton and deuteron scattering data from a previous experiment, are compared with Quasi-Particle Phonon Model evaluations, in which the competition between particle-hole and particle-particle residual interactions is considered. The B (Eλ) distributions are satisfactorily reproduced. The 146, 148 Nd(p,t) reaction data are well accounted for, while difficulties are found in reproducing those for 142, 144 Nd(p,t). Limitations and improvements of the model are discussed.
