Band mixing in ^96,98Mo isotopes *

Abstract

Abstract We use the two lowest weight states to fit E 2 strengths connecting the and transitions in Mo. Our results confirm that the and states are maximally mixed, and that the states are weakly mixed in both nuclei. An appropriate Hamiltonian to represent the band mixing is found to be exactly solvable, and its eigenstates can be expressed as the basis vectors in the configuration mixing scheme and interacting boson model. The interacting boson model and coexistence mixing configuration under the solvable methods are suitable models for analyzing the band mixing with high accuracy.
