The Spin and Orbital Contributions to Magnetic Dipole Transitions

Abstract

In previous works we examined they systematics of magnetic dipole transitions in a single j shell. We here extend the study to large space calculations.We consider the nuclei 44^{44} Ti, 46^{46}Ti and 48^{48}C. Of particular interest is the contributions to B(M1) of the spin and orbital parts of the magnetic dipole operator. Whereas usual scissors mode analyses have as an initial state the J=0+ ground state (of an even-even nucleus) we here start with the lowest J=1+ T=1 state. This enables us to reach many more states e.g. J=2,T=0,1, and 2 and thus getter a better picture of the collectivity of this state.
