Damping of the high-spin neutron hole orbitals of the207Pb

The neutron strength functions of the high-spin 1g _7/2 and 1h _11/2 hole states of the²⁰⁷Pb have been deduced within the formalism of the hole-core vibrational coupling scheme. The attenuation of the shell-model strengths of these two high-spin hole states have been compared with the distribution of the neutron strength functions of the discrete 1h _9/2 and 1i _13/2 states. The theoretical results have been discussed in the light of the recent experimental findings on the neutron hole orbitals of the²⁰⁷Pb nucleus. Side by the side the implication of the present research works has been reviewed on the basis of the other existing theoretical calculations on the high-spin neutron hole states of the²⁰⁷Pb.
