Gamma Decay Hindrance Factors Used in Systematic Configuration Assignments

Аннотация

A simple empirical relation is proposed to correlate the K-hindrance factor with the number of quasiparticles in the state configuration. The reduced hindrance $F_{\nu }$ = $(t_{1/2}^{\gamma }/t_{1/2}^w{)}^{1/\nu }$ has been empirically modified such that $\nu$= $\mathrm{\Delta }K-L-(N_{\pi }-N_{\nu })$, instead of {\normalsize $\nu$} = $\mathrm{\Delta }K-\text{L}$ where $N_{\nu }$ and {\normalsize $N_{\pi }$} are the numbers of neutron and proton quasiparticles in the state configuration. In systematics, the modified hindrance factor can be used to uniquely determine the $K$-isomer state configuration.
