Nilsson diagrams for light neutron-rich nuclei with weakly-bound neutrons

Nuclear Theory 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

Using Woods-Saxon potentials and the eigenphase formalism for one-particle resonances, one-particle bound and resonant levels for neutrons as a function of quadrupole deformation are presented, which are supposed to be useful for the interpretation of spectroscopic properties of some light neutron-rich nuclei with weakly-bound neutrons. Compared with Nilsson diagrams in text books which are constructed using modified oscillator potentials, we point out a systematic change of the shell structure in connection with both weakly-bound and resonant one-particle levels related to small orbital angular momenta \ell. Then, it is seen that weakly-bound neutrons in nuclei such as 1519^{15-19}C and 3337^{33-37}Mg may prefer to being deformed as a result of Jahn-Teller effect, due to the near degeneracy of the 1d5/2_{5/2}-2s1/2_{1/2} levels and the 1f7/2_{7/2}-2p3/2_{3/2} levels in the spherical potential, respectively. Furthermore, the absence of some one-particle resonant levels compared with the Nilsson diagrams in text books is illustrated.
