Abstract:
Based on available experimental data, a new set of Nilsson parameters is proposed for proton-rich nuclei with proton or neutron numbers 28N4028\leq N\leq 40. The resulting single-particle spectra are compared with those from relativistic and non-relativistic mean field theories. Collective excitations in some even--even proton-rich nuclei in the upper pfpf shell are investigated using the Projected Shell Model with the new Nilsson basis. It is found that the regular bands are sharply disturbed by band crossings involving 1g9/21g_{9/2} neutrons and protons. Physical quantities for exploring the nature of the band disturbance and the role of the 1g9/21g_{9/2} single-particle are predicted, which may be tested by new experiments with radioactive beams.
