Rotational properties of shell-model states infp-shell nuclei

The relation between the microscopic shell model and the collective rotor model is investigated. As the first step an extensive shell-model calculation is performed on about twentyfp-shell nuclei with massA=52–60. It turns out that, with the model space and the effective interaction chosen, the shell model is well able to reproduce the experimental data in this mass region. As the second step the shell-model wavefunctions are used to calculate energies, electromagnetic moments and transition rates of states with spin up toJ=16. As the third step the observables calculated with the shell model are used to investigate whether these microscopic results can be reproduced by a simple rotational model. About twenty pure axially symmetric rotor bands, generated by the shell model, could be localized. Their properties are presented and discussed.
