Low-lying vibrational states of145,147,149Nd

The fragmented neutron states in^145,147,149Nd detected through¹⁴⁴Nd(d, p) and^148,150Nd(d, t) reactions can be accounted for in terms of quasiparticles coupled with anharmonic vibrator model. The wave functions, obtained from diagonalisation of the Hamiltonian matrices are utilised to calculate B(E2), B(M1) and branching ratios in^145,147Nd. The calculated results are discussed in the light of the recent experimental findings.
