Abstract: | The level density is calculated from the single particle energies in a Woods-Saxon potential with pairing included in the BCS approximation. The collective rotations are included by addition of a rotational band on top of each of the intrinsic levels. The nuclei investigated have mass numbers in the region 100 ≦ A ≦ 253. At the ground state deformation and at the neutron separation energy for the nucleus in question we compare calculated and observed level densities. The dependence on the parameters in the model are investigated. Considering the uncertainties in these parameters the calculated results are believed accurate to within a factor of 3. The rotations contribute typically a factor of 40. They must be included for deformed and not for spherical nuclei. We underestimate systematically the level density by a factor of 4 with fluctuations around the average value by a factor of 3. The nuclei lighter than 138Ba are an exception. We obtain around a factor 100 too few levels in the calculation. |
