Shell Model Monte Carlo Studies of $\gamma$-Soft Nuclei

Nuclear Theory 2009-01-23 v2

Abstract

We present Shell Model Monte Carlo calculations for nuclei within the full major shell 50-82 for both protons and neutrons. The interaction is determined solely by self-consistency and odd-even mass differences. The methods are illustrated for 124{}^{124}Sn, 128{}^{128}Te and 124{}^{124}Xe. We calculate shape distributions, moments of inertia and pairing correlations as functions of temperature and angular velocity. Our calculations are the first microscopic evidence of γ\gamma-softness of nuclei in this region.
