The study includes energy spectra and electric quadrupole transition properties of zirconium, molybdenum, ruthenium and palladium isotopes with neutron number $N\\geq52$. A global parametrization of the {IBM-1} Hamiltonian is found leading to a description of about 300 collective levels in 30 nuclei with a root-mean-square deviation from the observed level energies of 120 keV. The importance of the $d_{5/2}$ subshell closure at neutron number N=56 is pointed out. The geometric character of the nuclei can be visualized by plotting the potential energy surface $V(\\beta,\\gamma)$ obtained from the {IBM-1} Hamiltonian in the classical limit. The parametrization established on the basis of known elements is used to predict properties of the unknown, neutron-rich isotopes $^{106}$Zr, $^{112}$Mo, $^{116}$Ru and $^{122}$Pd.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-07-02T07:45:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "21.60.Fw", "21.10.Re", "21.60.Ev" ], "keywords": [ "interacting boson model", "mass region", "description", "electric quadrupole transition properties", "neutron number" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Journal of Physics G Nuclear Physics", "year": 2010, "month": "Oct", "volume": 37, "number": 10, "pages": 105102 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 860373, "adsabs": "2010JPhG...37j5102B" } } }
