After a short review of the relevant predictions of several simple collective models, it is shown that this decrease is caused in the framework of the proxy-SU(3) scheme by the same three-body and/or four body operators which break the degeneracy between the ground state band and the gamma-1 band, predicting in parallel the correct form of odd-even staggering within the gamma-1 bands.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-12-06T18:46:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "heavy deformed nuclei", "nuclear spectra", "ground state band", "experimental energy differences", "even-even nuclei" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
