Re examination of eta decay in Hg, Pb and Po Isotopes
Abstract
This study re examines the effect of nuclear deformation on the calculated Gamow Teller (GT) strength distributions of neutron deficient (178 192Hg, 185 194Pb and 196 206Po) nuclei. The nuclear ground state properties and shape parameters were calculated using the Relativistic Mean Field model. Three different density dependent interactions were used in the calculation. Estimated shape parameters were later used within the framework of deformed proton-neutron quasi random phase approximations model, with a separable interaction, to calculate the GT strength distributions, half lives and branching ratios for these neutron deficient isotopes. It was concluded that half lives and GT strength distributions vary considerably with change in shape parameter.
