Abstract:
In this paper, we present some results of a particle-rotor model study of 176Lu. In particular, we consider the two lowest K=1+ balds, which present a rather large odd-even staggering. This effect, which may be traced to direct Coriolis coupling with Newby-shifted K=0+ bands, is of great interest since it gives information on the proton-neutron interaction. We use both zero-range and finite-range interactions with particular attention focused on the role of the tensor force. Comparison of the calculated results with experimental data evidences the importance of the tensor-force effects in the description of the odd-even staggering in K not-equal-to zero bands.
