Possible Shape Coexistence and Magnetic Dipole Transitions in $^{17}$C and $^{21}$Ne
Abstract
Magnetic dipole(M1) transitions of N=11 nuclei, C and Ne are investigated by using shell model and deformed Skyrme Hartree-Fock+blocked BCS wave functions. Shell model calculations predict well observed energy spectra and magnetic dipole transitions in Ne, while the results are rather poor to predict these observables in C. In the deformed HF calculations, the ground states of two nuclei are shown to have large prolate deformations close to =0.4. It is also pointed out that the first state in Ne is prolately deformed, while the first state in C is predicted to have a large oblate deformation being close to the ground state in energy, We point out that experimentally observed large hindrance of M1 transition between and in C can be attributed to a shape coexistence near the ground state of C.
