Towards a reliable method for calculating average radiation widths in exotic nuclei Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Average radiation widths are calculated by a method that permits application to exotic nuclei where little spectroscopic information is available. The calculations are tested against 62 near-stable nuclei and - for the first time this has been possible - against 5 exotic nuclei for which has now been measured. Excellent results are obtained if level densities are calculated with the back-shifted Fermi gas model but not if Gilbert and Cameron densities are used. 1982.
