Transition Probabilities, and Potential Energy Surfaces for 120-126Xe Even-Even Isotopes

Abstract

The interacting boson model (IBM-1) is used to calculate the energy levels, transition probabilities B(E2), and potential energy surfaces of some even 120−126Xe isotopes. The theoretical values are in good agreement with the experimental data. The potential energy surface is one of the nucleus properties, and it gives a final shape of nuclei. The contour plot of the potential energy surfaces shows that the 120−126Xe nuclei are deformed and have y-unstable-like characters.
