Low-lying collective states inRu98–106isotopes studied using a microscopic anharmonic vibrator approach

subject

description

Anharmonic features of the low-lying collective states in the $^{98--106}\mathrm{Ru}$ isotopes have been investigated systematically by using the microscopic anharmonic vibrator approach (MAVA). MAVA is based on a realistic microscopic $G$-matrix Hamiltonian, only slightly renormalized in the adopted large realistic single-particle spaces. This Hamiltonian is used to derive equations of motion for the mixing of one- and two-phonon degrees of freedom starting from collective phonons of the quasiparticle random-phase approximation. Analysis of the level energies and the electric quadrupole decays of the two-phonon type of states indicates that $^{100}\mathrm{Ru}$ can be interpreted as being a transitional nucleus between the spherical anharmonic vibrator $^{98}\mathrm{Ru}$ and the quasirotational heavier $^{102--106}\mathrm{Ru}$ isotopes.
