IBM-1 calculations towards the neutron-rich nucleus $^{106}$Zr

TL;DR

This paper uses the interacting boson model to interpret nuclear structure data for neutron-rich isotopes, extrapolating findings to predict properties of $^{106}$Zr, a nucleus with limited experimental data.

Contribution

It applies the IBM framework to neutron-rich isotopes and extends calculations to predict properties of $^{106}$Zr, enhancing understanding of collectivity in this region.

Findings

Level energies match experimental data where available.

Electric quadrupole transition probabilities are consistent with observations.

Predictions for $^{106}$Zr provide insights into its nuclear structure.

Abstract

The neutron-rich N=66 isotonic and A=106 isobaric chains, covering regions with varying types of collectivity, are interpreted in the framework of the interacting boson model. Level energies and electric quadrupole transition probabilities are compared with available experimental information. The calculations for the known nuclei in the two chains are extrapolated towards the neutron-rich nucleus $^{106}$Zr.
