Woods-Saxon potential parameters optimized to the high spin spectra in the lead region

Abstract

The parametrization of the spin-orbit part of the Woods-Saxon potential was optimized taking into account the single-particle energies corrected for nucleon-nucleus interaction and the high-spin spectra of $^{204}\mathrm{Pb}$ and $^{212}\mathrm{Rn}$. With the spin-orbit potential strength parameters $\ensuremath{\lambda}=36.0$ and the radius parameter ${({r}_{0})}_{\mathrm{so}}=1.3$ fm for both protons and neutrons, both types of empirical data are reproduced well. The configurations of the calculated high-spin states are identical with the shell-model results.NUCLEAR STRUCTURE Woods-Saxon single-particle levels, high-spin excitations, lead region nuclei.
