Contribution

It applies the Bohr collective model with ATDHFB and Skyrme interaction to describe collective states in Mo isotopes, providing a microscopic foundation for excitation energies and transition probabilities.

Findings

Calculated energies match experimental data well.

B(E2) transition probabilities agree with measurements.

Model successfully describes collective excitations in Mo isotopes.

Abstract

Low energy quadrupole excitations of the 84-110Mo nuclei are studied in the frame of the general Bohr collective model based on the ATDHFB method with the Skyrme effective interaction. Obtained energies of the 2_1, 4_1, 2_2 and 0_2 levels and B(E2) values for the 2_1 -> 0_g.s transitions are in good agreement with experimental data.
